Rediscovering the history of psychology: Essays inspired by the work of Kurt Danziger
Studien zur autorit ren pers nlichkeit: Ausgew hlte Schriften
Whig and Anti-Whig histories? And other curiosities of social psychology
In successive editions of the Handbook of Social Psychology (Lindzey, 1954), the focus of the history of the field shifted from the substantive ideas of nineteenth-century thinkers to the successful emergence of a psychological experimental social psychology in the twentieth. Countering this whiggish account, the dominant themes in the present issue involve attempts to portray two parallel paradigm shifts: from a "social" to an "asocial" social p…

Assessing research in the history of psychology: Past, present, and future
Since 1970, the "New History" of American psychology has grown into a lively specialty, characterized by tightly focused research utilizing archival source material. The collective product so far is an accumulation of disparate pieces rather than a coherent story. For the future, a debate about critical developments in the discipline's history and their causes appears desirable, in order to produce a more informative analysis of this history.

Authoritarianism from Berlin to Berkeley: On Social Psychology and History
Emerging conceptions of authoritarianism, their transformation, and their fate are traced through the recent history of social psychology. The issue was first formulated around 1930 by Wilhelm Reich in an attempt to combine Freudian and Marxist ideas into an explanation of political developments in Germany. Erich Fromm pursued the idea further in the analysis of a questionnaire study of German workers, and later in his book Escape from Freedom (1…

Organizing for the kingdom of behavior: Academic battles and organizational policies in the twenties
Although John B. Watson had been forced out of academia by 1920, the first half of the next decade saw an intense battle over his attempts to redefine the subject matter and the goal of psychology. No clear victor emerged in the academic discipline, while part of the lay public responded enthusiastically to Watson's rhetoric. In the meantime, academics and foundations, especially the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial under Beardsley Ruml, began …
History of Psychology: XXXIII. On Textbook Lessons from History, or How the Conditioned Reflex Discovered Twitmyer
A number of recent textbooks have claimed that the American psychologist E. B. Twitmyer discovered the conditioned reflex in 1902 independently of and even prior to Pavlov. Various explanations for the obscurity of Twitmyer's discovery were offered. However, closer scrutiny of Twitmyer's publications, viewed in their contemporary context, does not find much support for such speculative explanations. It is argued that Twitmyer's work with the knee…

Struggle for scientific authority: The reception of Watson's Behaviorism, 1913-1920
Supported by the Zeitgeist, Behaviorism supposedly spread quickly through American psychology after the publication of Watson's manifesto in 1913. But an extensive search of published and unpublished source material from 1913 to 1920 shows only limited support and a good deal of resistance; documentary evidence for the conversion of psychologists to radical behaviorism during these years is hard to find. Though faced with some troubling problems,…

World war I intelligence testing and the development of psychology
The participation of psychologists in World War I, especially through the mental testing of the Army, brought national publicity and recognition to the struggling young discipline. But while the war had contributed significantly to psychology, the practical contributions of psychologists to the fighting efficiency of the Army, as well as the scientific results emerging from the mountain of test data, turn out on closer examination to be rather eq…
From "race psychology" to "studies in prejudice: Some observations on the thematic reversal in social psychology
In 1920, most psychologists believed in the existence of mental differences between races; by 1940, they were searching for the sources of “irrational prejudice.” In a few decades, a dramatic reversal of the dominant paradigm for the study of groups and group relations had occurred. Although this shift can be seen as a victory of objective-empirical research, there were other contributing factors: passage of the Immigration Restriction Law of 192…
