===Field studies on humanistic education===
David Aspy and Flora Roebuck performed a large field study, in 42 states and 7 countries, in the 1970s and 80s, funded by the [[National Institute of Mental Health]] over a 12-year period, focusing on what led to achievement, [[creativity]], more student thinking and interactivity, less violence, and both teacher and student satisfaction. Their conclusions corroborated the earlier findings of Carl Rogers's that the more effective teachers were empathic, caring for or prizing their students, and were authentic or genuine in their classroom presence.<ref>Aspy, David, and Roebuck, Flora:  (1977) ''Kids Don't Learn from People They Don't Like'', Amherst, Massachusetts: Human Resources Development Press.</ref> In 2010 Jeffrey Cornelius-White and Adam Harbaugh published a large meta-analysis on Learner Centered Instruction including in their analysis of the higher quality studies on person-centered or humanistic education since 1948.<ref>Cornelius-White, J. and Harbaugh, A: (2010) ''Learner Centered Instruction ''Los Angeles: Sage</ref> In 2013, Rogers, Lyon, and Tausch published ''On Becoming an Effective Teacher -- Person-centered Teaching, Psychology, Philosophy, and Dialogues with Carl R.
