[1] For most of his career, Weinberg has taught at the University of Minnesota after earning his Ph.D there in 1968.
He is known for his Minnesota Transracial Adoption Study with Sandra Scarr.
This study concluded that "rather than the home environment having a cumulative impact across development, its influence wanes from early childhood to adolescence."
With Richard M. Lerner and Celia Fisher, he was a founding editor of Applied Developmental Science.
