As it evolves, the authors of the manual aim to lay a foundation for diverse practitioners, from neuroscientists to psychoanalysists, to communicate by codifying limits of acceptability. This thesis deconstructs and analyzes the development of the manual, from calls for standardization around 1900, through noncompulsory guidelines in the 1920s, to the printing of the first denominated Publication Manual in 1952. This archival-based project reveals the oft-ignored agency of the manual's authors as they strove to improve the state of psychological discourse. Two conclusions of this thesis are: that, despite previous claims to the contrary, the development of the Publication Manual had little to do with institutionalizing the language of behaviorism; and, instead of being understood as a behaviorist project, its development should be perceived in light of organizational growth and anxieties. V Acknowledgments This project would have never neared completion if not for the support of a collection of remarkable individuals. First, I must thank my primary supervisor, Dr. Michael Pettit, for his ever-pertinent advice, helping me refine my ideas, and showing me around Washington. Likewise, the commentary leading up to and during my defense from Drs. Christopher Green, Alexandra Rutherford, and Kenton Krocker was both invaluable and eye opening. Thank you. I would also like to acknowledge Janice Goldblum at the National Research Council Archives and Lizette Royer at the Archives of the History of American Psychology for their guidance with their archival collections, and the kind folks at Cheiron for their commentary on selections from Chapter One. Cheers are also in order for the History and Theory gang at York University, for giving excellent feedback at my colloquium and for generally being an awesome and supportive group of people. Further, I would like to send my wannest regards to my friends and family, Joanne, Michael, Alison, and Maria Sigal, Cindy, Dan, James, and Derek Belliveau, Nathan Sassi, Carrie Smith, Wendy Ko, Jennifer Bazar, Eric Oosenbrug, and Kate Sheese for their ongoing humor and affection. Finally, and most significantly, I would like to thank my partner, Arlie Belliveau. I could not imagine having accomplished this milestone without you by my side.

Conclusion 149 References 158 Appendices 189 1 Introduction The release of the 6' edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association triggered a fiery debate among psychologists. Academic listservs were flooded with messages pertaining to changes found in the revision1. Complaints were lodged against the manual itself: about how much certain individuals dislike the standards and how they "suck the life" out of their writing (Melucci, 2009, April 29); about how the manual really is much ado about nothing - with claims that the revisions are really just a clever money making scheme, a never ending cycle of changes based upon whim (Smith, 2009, May 1). Some asserted that the manual makes too many blanket decisions that should be left in the hands of authors. And amidst all of this, others wondered: is the manual really necessary? And under what circumstances did it come to be?2 My current research, in part, aims to respond to these questions. That the Publication Manual sparks such debates is evidence of its importance in the academic lives of many social scientists, educators, and affiliated professionals. It is 1 For instance, a thread on the Teaching in the Psychological Sciences hstserv with the subject "New edition of publication manual" (Taylor, 2009, April 28) featured intense discussion of the proposed changes 2 Many other threads appeared around the publication of the revision, including: Carroll (2009, July 7), Standing (2009, July 15), Froman (2009, July 17), Bernhardt (2009, July 21; August 25), McKelvie (2009, July 28, August 24), Horton (2009, August 18), Guiliano (2009, September 13), Taylor (2009, September 18), Wuensch (2009, October 6, October 22), Peden (2009, October 6), Green (2009, October 14, October 15), Winter (2009, November 3). While this is a modest sampling, taken from only two listservs (Teaching the Psychological Sciences and the List for the Society for the History of Psychology), the number of new threads on the revision demonstrates the importance of the revision in terms of its professional implications Many of these messages, and their responses, tracked problems found in the new edition or sought clarifications; other messages speculated about the origins of the publication standards or discussed the standard's relevancy (or irrelevancy) in the post author's particular career. 2 more than a mere set of requirements one checks off when getting ready to publish one's research - it plays a substantial role in structuring the language we use and the analyses we deem appropriate by codifying the limits of acceptability within the discipline's publishing venues. As it evolves, the authors of the manual aim to lay a foundation for diverse practitioners, from neuroscientists to psychoanalysists, to communicate. And while this goal may be more lofty than realistic, such attempts at the regulation of language and style certainly warrant historical analysis. The current project aims to trace more than the lineage of the Publication Manual, however. The manual is a regulating document that is a symptom of a broader movement toward scientific standardization. Accordingly, while the manuals are the centerpieces of this thesis, I intend to situate them within the broader context of American psychology, surrounded by numerous attempts of editors, business managers, and psychologists, as they attempt to understand and normalize their discipline. As such, this thesis is as much about the control of language as it is a historical story about the development of standards for publication. Such desires for standardization have permeated psychological discourse since the beginning of the 20th century. However, it was not until the late 1920s, a time when the American Psychological Association (APA) was having "growing pains" (Evans, 1992, p. 73), that a formal document pertaining to publication standards would be drafted to address these concerns. While this development could be situated within the wider scientific management movement, a field that concerned itself with efficiency and 3 standardization and peaked in the 1920s, this link is inessential for understanding the justification for drafting this regulatory document. Instead, this thesis will focus upon the intradisciplinary conflicts and tensions that provoked the manual's development. For instance, the aforementioned growing pains that the Association underwent referred not only to a dramatic increase in membership but also an ever-widening definition of what topics or actions pertained to one calling themselves a psychologist. This caused journal editors who previously only had

    Vol. 19, No. 8 August, 1922 THE PSYCHOLOGICAL BULLETIN CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE HISTORY OF PSYCHOLOGY— 1916-1921 By COLEMAN R. GRIFFITH University of Illinois Contributions to the history of psychology since 1915 fall nat- urally into two groups. There are, on the one hand, the systematic and the experimental studies which have made the science six years older. There are, on the other hand, the historical and biographical notes and the large and searching retrospections which relate con- temporary psychology to earlier stages in the development of the science. It is to an enumeration of these contributions that the present paper is devoted. We cannot, of course, comment in detail upon the character of contemporary psychology, for an historian, speaking of his own times is like the Hawaiian surf-rider who seeks to judge the incoming tide from his experiences while riding a single wave; but it is possible to get a certain amount of information about the current trend of a science by considering events of various kinds which reflect or which have, presumably, influenced its general course. These events taken in conjunction with what appear, at the present moment, to be outstanding experimental and systematic studies may give a suggestion of the history of the last few years. In psychology, as well as in many other sciences, the most important event, during the period under survey, was the World War. The science of psychology was, as all know, well on the way toward complete mobilization for military purposes when the war ended. Since many of the consequences of this reorganization have not yet appeared, a detailed account of this aspect of the period must fall to a future historian.

  • Seventeen Early Peace Psychologists
    Seventeen Early Peace Psychologists By Floyd Rudmin Rudmin, Floyd (1991). Seventeen Early Peace Psychologists. In Journal of Humanistic Psychology, Vol. 31, No. 2, Spring, pp. 12-43, 1991 Sage Publications, Inc. Floyd Webster Rudmin is a boundary crosser. In many societies (e.g., the Inuit), boundary crossers are obliged to try to interpret and intercede for those on either side of the boundary. Dr. Rudmin completed a B.A. in philosophy at Bowdoin College in Maine, an M. A. in audiology at SUNY Buffalo, and a Ph.D. in social psychology at Queen University in Ontario. He has lived and worked in the United States, the Philippines, Japan, and since 1978 in Canada. His spouse, Toyoko, is Japanese. Their children are schooled in French. The primary focus of Dr. Rudmin research is the psychology of ownership and possession. He is currently an assistant professor in Queen Faculty of Law and School of Business. History of psychology is his pleasure. Peace is his passion. Summary Peace psychology has a history that is both long and prominent. However, that fact is little known and little appreciated, even among contemporary peace-activist psychologists. This article presents 17 brief biographies of psychologists who are part of this important heritage: Pythagoras, Jeremy Bentham, Franz Brentano, William James, August Forel, Ivan Pavlov, Sigmund Freud, James McKeen Cattell, Mary Whiton Calkins, Alexander Chamberlain, Alfred Adler, William McDougall, Edward Tolman, Gordon Allport, Gustav Ichheiser, Margaret Mead, and Charles Osgood. It is important that more recognition and appreciation be given to the long and prominent history of psychology in peace research and peace activism.

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.

    PSYCHOLOGISTS AND PHYSICIANS IN THE BORDERLANDS OF SCIENCE, 1900-1942 By WADE EDWARD PICKREN A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 1995 For my mother: WILLIE MERLE PICKREN, and in memoriam, BILL PICKREN, You taught me to love and work. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to express my deepest gratitude to the chairman of my dissertation committee, Donald A. Dewsbury. Dr. Dewsbury has, from the beginning of this long project, been a model of encouragement, kindness, and unfailing generosity. He has shared his time, his great breadth of learning, his editorial ability, and his materials with me. My understanding of the history of psychology has been greatly deepened by our conversations. I also wish to acknowledge that Dr. Dewsbury has helped me to understand that data is a plural! Dr. Wilse B. Webb has also stimulated much thought in me about what I was doing and where I was going with my ideas. Although I did not avail myself of his wisdom as oft as I would have liked, his voice and his sharp eye were always with me. I hope that, in the future, time will allow me a greater opportunity to benefit from his great knowledge and experience. Both near at hand and from afar, Dr. Toby Appel has blessed me with the keenness of her insight . Her acceptance and friendly corrections of my halting efforts to write history have been much appreciated. One of my most pleasant memories of this experience is that of sitting at a table at iii Cafe Gardens talking about the history of biology or psychology, while hoping to hear some Van Morrison on the house music system.

  • Plakat Mary Whiton Calkins Neu
    30. März 2013 – Zum 150. Geburtstag am. Psychologin, Philosophin Mary Whiton Calkins war eine US-amerikanische Psychologin, die erste weibliche Präsidentin der American Psychological Association und gilt als Pionierin der Experimentalpsychologie. Sie wurde am 30. März 1863 als ältestes von fünf Kindern in eine presbyterianische Familie in Buffalo im Bundesstaat New York geboren. Ihr Vater unterstützte die ehrgeizige Mary sehr und so wurde ihr zwischen 1882 und 1884 eine gute Ausbildung am Smith College zuteil, das sie mit einem Abschluss in Altphilologie und Philosophie verließ. Es war auch ihr außergewöhnlich engagierter Vater, der ein Vorstellungsgespräch am Wellesley College arrangierte und Mary Whiton Calkins bekam ihre erste Stelle als Dozentin für Griechisch. Ihr pädagogisches Talent wurde vom Wellesley College sehr geschätzt und so erhielt sie die Chance, dort das im Entstehen befindliche Fach Psychologie, damals eine Teildisziplin der Philosophie, zu vertreten. Es wurde ihr ein Jahr des Psychologiestudiums zur Auflage gemacht. Die Harvard-Professoren William James und Josiah Royce wurden zu ihren Mentoren. Eigene For- schungen führte sie zusammen zunächst mit Dr. Edmund Sanford von der Clark University durch, Studien zur Traumerforschung, indem sie ihren Schlaf zu festgelegten Punkten unterbrachen, ihre Träume festhielten und sich darüber austauschten. Sie sah sich in Opposition zu Freud mit ihrer Überzeugung, dass die Träume im Wesentlichen die Personen, Orte und Ereignisse der kurz zurückliegenden Wahrnehmung reproduzieren. Nach dieser Studien-Phase wurde sie am Wellesley College als Dozentin für Psychologie eingestellt, wo sie 1891 für die Durchführung psychologischer Tests eins der ersten Experimental- Laboratorien in den USA einrichtete. Sie entwarf außerdem einen Kurs, den sie „Die neue Psychologie“ nannte, in dem sie ihre 54 Studierenden Experimente zur Sinnes- und Raumwahrnehmung sowie zur Reaktion durchführen ließ.

UNIT 1-CHAPTER 1- PSYCHOLOGY AS A SCIENCE ORIGINS OF SCIENTIFIC PSYCHOLOGY Historical accounts of the development of scientific psychology place the origins of the discipline in Germany at about the middle of the nineteenth century. The ferment produced by British and continental philosophies of mind and the advances of research in sensory physiology provided the immediate context for the beginning of the new psychology. The pursuit of knowledge about mind and its processes has a history that is embedded in the history of philosophy. The late-eighteenth-century declaration that a true scientific study of the mind was not possible posed a challenge that was answered in the nineteenth century when the possibility of a scientific study of mind emerged within philosophy by the adoption of the experimental methods employed to study the physiology of the senses. The synergy of these nineteenth century developments gave impetus to the “new psychology” whose history embodies continued efforts to develop and maintain psychology as a scientifific discipline and to extend the methods of science to an ever-widening field of inquiry within the discipline.
