Rationality and the Shoulds
This paper is about rational and irrational uses of deontological words, such as “should”, “ought”, and “must”, referred to as “the shoulds”. Rationality is taken as a mutual relationship between conceptual schemes and human agency. These are expressed in what Bakhtin referred to as authoritative discourse and internally persuasive discourse respectively. When the conceptual scheme is in place and its authority transparent, and there is interplay…
The Social Psychology of “Pseudoscience”
The word ‘pseudoscience’ is a marker of changing worries about science and being a scientist. It played an important role in the philosophical debate on demarcating science from other activities, and was used in popular writings to distance science from cranky theories with scientific pretensions. These uses consolidated a comforting unity in science, a communal space from which pseudoscience is excluded, and the user's right to belong is asserte…

Perception of Sex From Complex Body Movement in Young Children
This article reports on a study of the perception of sex from complex body movement. Studies by Cutting and his associates (Barclay, Cutting, & Kozlowski, 1978; Kozlowski & Cutting, 1977) and by Runeson and Frykholm (1983) have shown that adult observers of both adult and child actors (11-12 years old) can reliably recognize the sex of the actor. In this study, prepubescent actors (4-5 years old) were employed, and the role of familiarity of obse…

When did a psychologist last discuss ‘chagrin’? American psychology’s continuing moral project
The starting-point of this article is Graham Richards’ (1995) claim that American psychology includes a moral project present even before the discipline got underway as a modern institution. We accept this, but identify a different kind of moral project, stemming from the radical critique of morality by Ralph Waldo Emerson, rather than the moral aims of Noah Porter and James McCosh. This leads to a morality based on (but not reducible to) psychol…
The Ontology of Mutualism
Like ecological psychology, mutualism is a differentiation theory in which changes in perception involve differentiating against a background rather than internal elaborations on sparse inputs. In addition, the social is primary and ontologically distinct, not just the result of unusually elaborate constructions from physical inputs or of extraordinarily complex affordances. We draw our ontology from a broad tradition traced back to William James…
The intellectual origins of Rational Psychotherapy
In this paper we attempt to understand the intellectual origins of Albert Ellis' Rational Psychotherapy (now known as Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy). In his therapeutic practice Ellis used a 'lumper' argument to replace the focus of change in psychoanalysis: not the lengthy uncovering and reworking of the individual's personal history, but the demands in self-talk through which the client is currently dis turbed. In constructing around this t…
When Technical Rationality Fails
The theory that thinking is modelled on the social activity of argument is investigated through the views of general practitioners about terminally ill patients. The social activity of general practice centres on the consultation, which the doctor manages by 'technical rationality'. But this is difficult when the patient is terminally ill. In that case technical rationality is seen to fail and rhetorical skills are invoked. GPs' thinking about su…

E. C. Tolman
1986 is the birth centenary of E. C. Tolman, and three papers on his work are published together in this issue of the journal. The paper by Mackintosh considers Tolman's learning theory in the light of recent work on conditioning; Amundson argues that Tolman was an epistemological realist, and that the conventional view of him as an operationalist is mistaken; while Good & Still place his early work within a neglected tradition of direct percepti…
Tolman and the tradition of direct perception
During the early part of Tolman's career, he struggled to develop a language of molar behaviourism , which incorporated at a descriptive level the purposiveness he observed in his rats. Drawing upon Gestalt psychology he developed a set of terms to describe the organism in its environment. This work places him at the start of a tradition of direct perception, which has included Heider, Asch, and J. J. Gibson. The point light display of Johansson …
