David Krech was born in 1909 in Russia. His family soon relocated to the United States, settling in New Britain, Connecticut. Krech attended New York University, graduating with a B.A. in 1930 and a Masters in 1931. Krech continued his graduate studies at the University of California, Berkeley, earning his Ph.D. in 1933 under Edward Tolman. That year, Krech went to the University of Chicago with a National Research Council Fellowship. He helped found the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues (SPSSI) in 1936. In 1939, Krech joined the WWII efforts in Likert's Division of Program Surveys in the War Department. Though he taught at several institutions, Krech spent the majority of his teaching career at the University of California. There, he was a professor of psychology from 1947 until his retirement in 1971.
