Eliot Dismore Chapple (ca. 1910 – 9 August 2003, Sarasota)[1] was an American anthropologist. In 1941 he was one of the founders of the Society for Applied Anthropology, and its first president.[2][3] His 1942 work with Carleton Coon applied the notion of conditioned learning to understanding the human use of symbols in various cultural contexts.[4] He later invented the Interaction Chronograph to develop this concept. By 1970, he had understood these phenomena as emotional-interactional rhythms and part of fundamental biological rhythmic dynamics. Sociologists including George Herbert Mead developed symbolic interactionism from ideas including Chapple's insights. Eugene D'Aquili's work in Biogenetic Structuralism also referenced Chapple's work.[5] 

      In 2000 he received the  Conrad Arensberg Award (awarded for outstanding contributions to the field) from the American Anthropological Association.[6]
