Stanley Schachter was born on April 15, 1922, to Nathan and Anna Schachter in Flushing, New York.
He initially studied Art history at Yale University and then took his Masters in Psychology, there where he was influenced by Clark Hull. In 1946 Schacter went to MIT to work with the German social psychologist Kurt Lewin, in his Research Center for Group Dynamics, studying social issues.

Schachter's dissertation supervisor was Leon Festinger and they with Henry Riecken, wrote a book entitled When Prophecy Fails (1956), describing what happened to a millenial groups after their predicted date for the end of the world had passes
