He believed that most human behavior is environ­ mentally determined and rejected the speculative and mentalistic psychology of his day, insisting instead that psychology is the rigorous, scientific study of overt and measurable behavior. He promoted his theory religiously and inflamed many with his forceful and formidable advocacy of his position. Although many of Watson's primary positions have been questioned or discounted since he first proposed them almost 100 years ago, few people have had such influence on the nation's intellectual and scientifichistory.

The purpose is to correlate knowledge and coordinate technique in related fields that greater progress may be made in the understanding of human life. The time has certainly come once again to attempt a fruitful synthesis of knowledge." The New York Times described the experiment as dismantling the disciplinary "Great Wall of China" and compared it with the Renaissance transformation of knowledge.1 The Insti- tute of Human Relations (IHR), as the center was named, received over $4.5 million from the Rockefeller Foundation for its first decade of operation.

Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1958 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. WALTER SAMUEL HUNTER March 22, i88g—August 3, 7954 BY CLARENCE H. GRAHAM ALTER HUNTER * will probably be remembered by psychologists Wfor three different contributions to their science. The first consisted of a number of important pioneer experiments, the second a series of orientative papers that helped to establish some tenets of an objective psychology, and the third of a sequence of administra- tive activities that has influenced the general body of psychological practice and theory. Like many descriptions, this evaluation lacks detail. It does not present Walter Hunter as the person many of us knew: the man of good humor and sound sense, a teacher, a col- league, a good companion, a man of great ability and one eminently fitted to play the role that he undertook so successfully, the repre- sentative of psychology in the councils of scientists. Psychology and science generally have benefited greatly from his efforts. Walter Samuel Hunter was born March 22, 1889, in Decatur, Illi- nois, the second son of George Hunter and Ida Weakley Hunter. Ida Hunter died in 1900 and, in 1901, George Hunter took himself and his two sons to his father's farm at Saginaw, Texas, eight miles from Fort Worth.

  • The Psychological Review
    N. S. VOL. XIV. No. 2. March, 1907. THE PSYCHOLOGICAL REVIEW. THE PROVINCE OF FUNCTIONAL PSYCHOLOGY.1 BY PROFESSOR JAMES ROWLAND ANGELL, University of Chicago. Functional psychology is at the present moment little more than a point of view, a program, an ambition. It gains its vi- tality primarily perhaps as a protest against the exclusive excel- lence of another starting point for the study of the mind, and it enjoys for the time being at least the peculiar vigor which com- monly attaches to Protestantism of any sort in its early stages before it has become respectable and orthodox. The time seems ripe to attempt a somewhat more precise characterization of the field of functional psychology than has as yet been of- fered. What we seek is not the arid and merely verbal defini- tion which to many of us is so justly anathema, but rather an informing appreciation of the motives and ideals which animate the psychologist who pursues this path. His status in the eye of the psychological public is unnecessarily precarious. The conceptions of his purposes prevalent in non-functionalist circles range from positive and dogmatic misapprehension, through frank mystification and suspicion up to moderate compre- hension. Nor is this fact an expression of anything peculiarly abstruse and recondite in his intentions. It is due in part to his own ill-defined plans, in part to his failure to explain lucidly exactly what he is about. Moreover, he is fairly numerous and it is net certain that in all important particulars he and his con- freres are at one in their beliefs.

  • Behavioral Sciences” Label Jefferson D
    ARTICLE A “Not Particularly Felicitous” Phrase: A History of the “Behavioral Sciences” Label Jefferson D. Pooley [email protected] Abstract The article reconstructs the history of the "behavioral sciences" label, from scattered interwar use through to the decisive embrace of the newly prominent Ford Foundation in the early Cold War. The rapid uptake of the label, the article concludes, was the result of the Ford Foundation’s 1951 decision to name its social science unit the “Behavioral Sciences Program” (BSP). With Ford’s en- couragement, the term was widely adopted by quantitative social scientists eager to tap the founda- tion’s social science funds. The label’s newness and its link to the gigantic foundation’s initiative generated much suspicion and resistance as well. Keywords Behavioral sciences, Ford Foundation, Cold War There are few behavioral scientists today. But as recently as the 1950s and 1960s, self-identified “behavioral scientists” occupied the elite ranks of American social science. The rapid uptake of the label was the result of the Ford Foundation’s 1951 decision to name its social science unit the “Be- havioral Sciences Program” (BSP). With Ford’s encouragement, the term was widely adopted by quantitative social scientists eager to tap the foundation’s social science funds. The label’s newness and its link to the gigantic foundation’s initiative generated much suspicion and resistance as well. This paper reconstructs the label’s career from scattered interwar use through to Ford’s embrace. Existing histories trace the term back to psychologist James Grier Miller’s Committee on the Be- havioral Sciences at the University of Chicago.
