From Harry Triandis’ autobiography:
The [Ibadan] conference was organized by Herb Kelman and Henri Tajfel. The latter did not come because he was already sick. I met many well-known cross-cultural social psychologists such as Otto Kleinberg, M. Brewster Smith, Alastair Heron, Gustav Jahoda, Alastair Mundy Castle, Douglass Price-Williams, and Rogelio Diaz-Guerrero.

Gustav supplied this photo of himself doing fieldwork in West Africa to the Cross-Cultural Psychology Bulletin many years ago.
