  • 'Introspectionism' and the Mythical Origins of Scientific Psychology
    Consciousness and Cognition Consciousness and Cognition 15 (2006) 634–654 www.elsevier.com/locate/concog ‘Introspectionism’ and the mythical origins of scientific psychology Alan Costall Department of Psychology, University of Portsmouth, Portsmouth, Hampshire PO1 2DY, UK Received 1 May 2006 Abstract According to the majority of the textbooks, the history of modern, scientific psychology can be tidily encapsulated in the following three stages. Scientific psychology began with a commitment to the study of mind, but based on the method of introspection. Watson rejected introspectionism as both unreliable and effete, and redefined psychology, instead, as the science of behaviour. The cognitive revolution, in turn, replaced the mind as the subject of study, and rejected both behaviourism and a reliance on introspection. This paper argues that all three stages of this history are largely mythical. Introspectionism was never a dominant movement within modern psychology, and the method of introspection never went away. Furthermore, this version of psychology’s history obscures some deep conceptual problems, not least surrounding the modern conception of ‘‘behaviour,’’ that continues to make the scientific study of consciousness seem so weird.

Introduction Probably the most immediate result of the acceptance of the behaviorist’s view will be the elimination of self-observation and of the introspective reports resulting from such a method. (Watson, 1913b, p. 428). The problem of consciousness occupies an analogous position for cognitive psychology as the prob- lem of language behavior does for behaviorism, namely, an unsolved anomaly within the domain of an approach.

  • 1 Why We Need a More Humanistic Positive Organizational Scholarship: Carl Rogers' Person- Centered Approach As a Challenge To
    Why we Need a More Humanistic Positive Organizational Scholarship: Carl Rogers’ Person- Centered Approach as a Challenge to Neoliberalism Stephen Joseph University of Nottingham Correspondence should be addressed to Stephen Joseph, PhD, Professor, School of Education, University of Nottingham, Nottingham, United Kingdom NG8 1BB. E-mail: [email protected] © 2019, American Psychological Association. This paper is not the copy of record and may not exactly replicate the final, authoritative version of the article. Please do not copy or cite without authors' permission. The final article will be available, upon publication, via its DOI: 10.1037/hum0000151 1 Why we Need a More Humanistic Approach to Positive Organizational Scholarship: Carl Rogers’ Person-Centred Approach as a Challenge to Neoliberalism Recent years have seen much interest in the new field of Positive Organizational Scholarship (POS). POS focuses specifically on what is positive, flourishing, and life-giving in organizations, and how to cultivate individual and organizational performance. In this article I will discuss the humanistic approach of Carl Rogers and how it can contribute to POS. Rogers is well known for his work on human relations and like POS he was concerned with the promotion of human flourishing. However, unlike POS, Rogers’ approach was based on a distinctive view of human nature and non-directive practice. By comparison, it looks like POS talks the language of human flourishing while offering ways in which to control and direct people as part of the neoliberal hegemony that humanistic scholars might see as the problem. I would like to advocate for a humanistic POS; one which explicitly has the aim of liberation and empowerment.

Claremont McKenna College A Unified Framework of the Shared Aesthetic Experience submitted to Piercarlo Valdesolo and Dean Peter Uvin by Huakai Liao for Senior Thesis Fall 2015 01/25/2016 0 Acknowledgement First of all, I would like to express my sincere thanks to my thesis advisor, Dr. Valdesolo, for the continuous support throughout this project as well as my entire undergraduate career. There have been very difficult times during the span of this project. I could not thank him enough for his support and understanding during those times. I still remembered the first day of freshman year when I asked him to join his laboratory to study emotion and he said yes. The interest in emotion has grown since then and led me to my other thesis in computer science on the topic of building emotional machine as well as the current project. I would also like to thank Dr. Halpern for her support. Even after her retirement, her door has always been open whenever I ran into trouble. She supported and cared for me during some of my difficult times.

The original experiment was conducted between 1924 and 1932 and was meant to measure the increase of production due to increase in lighting. The original experiment lasted from 1927-1932 and measured the productivity of two women working in the relay assembly section of the Western Electric Factory outside Chicago.
