He is famous for creating a new teory about the personality which focuses more in adulthood than in childhood. Allport develops the concept of self-esteem, a concept that at that time was very abandoned by the other schools of psychology that then prevailed.
He was an north american psychologist and he study filosofy and economy too in the same University, in the University of Harvard
About his personal life I don´t know too much, but about his jobs in psicology I admire all his teory, because he only work in that in his live, and frecuently he was perfecting his teory while the others teorys traying to discredit it
The most importan books of him are Pattern and Growth in Personality, The Person in Psychology and The Nature of Prejudice. The last one I have to reed it for subject Personalidad the last semester, and it is a great book than I recommend read
