Caracterización tipológica y constructiva de la vivienda rural en Langui, Cusco, Perú
In Peru, there are few studies that systematically address the issue of high-Andean rural housing. This study is based on the survey and diagnosis of 26 rural houses in Langui, Cusco, with the aim of characterizing them from a typological, constructive, and contextual perspective. The data collection was carried out through analysis sheets, interviews, measurements, and photographic records; the information was then systematized and analyzed. The…
Motivational profiles in instrumental music learning: Perspectives on self-determination theory
This study examined the motivation of child and adolescent music students to learn instruments in five Austrian music schools using a person-centered approach. Drawing on self-determination theory, two autonomous and controlled forms of motivational regulation were surveyed. The results of a cluster analysis ( N = 616) were used to construct four motivational profiles: one autonomously motivated type (high quality), one overall highly motivated t…
Confessing in the GDR. The Psychology of Interrogation under Socialist Rule, 1961–1989
This article provides a historical analysis of the institutional, legal, and psychological foundations of the study of interrogation in the post-Stalinist GDR. Drawing on archival and published documents, the development of the Criminological Section and Forensic Psychology at Humboldt University from the 1960s to the early 1990s is reconstructed. After giving an overview of the institutional context and the main actors in this field, the analysi…
Autograf—AUTomated Orthorectification of GRAFfiti Photos
Admired and despised, created and destroyed, legal and illegal: Contemporary graffiti are polarising, and not everybody agrees to label them as cultural heritage. However, if one is among the steadily increasing number of heritage professionals and academics that value these short-lived creations, their digital documentation can be considered a part of our legacy to future generations. To document the geometric and spectral properties of a graffi…
Psychology in national socialism: The question of “professionalization” and the case of the “Ostmark”
This article presents a contextualization and revaluation of competing narratives concerning the history of psychology in Nazi Germany. Since the 1980s, this debate revolves around the supposed "professionalization" of the discipline from Hitler's rise to power until the end of World War II. The question whether or not academic psychology has profited from collaborating with the Nazi regime during the war is not just of historical interest, but a…
Psychology in National Socialism [Psychologie im Nationalsozialismus] at Sigmund Freud Private University Berlin, July 27–28, 2018
Forty years after the end of World War II, historians and psychologists finally began to thoroughly investigate the involvement of psychological theory and practice with the National-Socialist regime. After this first wave of critical self-reflection, however, very little systematic work has been done to expand our historical knowledge of the darkest chapter in the history of German psychology. As part of a running project on the history of psych…
From Hohenschönhausen to Guantanamo Bay: Psychology's role in the secret services of the GDR and the United States
This paper presents a historical analysis of the genesis, context, and function of "Operative Psychology," a little-known branch of applied psychology developed by employees of the Ministry of State Security in the German Democratic Republic. For 25 years, theories and practices of Operative Psychology were taught to elite agents at the Juridical Academy in Potsdam, introducing them to various "silent" psychological techniques of persuasion, inte…
Buried layers: On the origins, rise, and fall of stratification theories
This article presents a historical analysis of the origins, rise, and demise of theories of stratification ( Schichtentheorien ). Following their roots in the ancient metaphysical idea of the "great chain of being," Aristotle's scala naturae , the medieval "Jacob's ladder," and Leibniz's concept of the lex continua, I argue that theories of stratification represent the modern heir to the ancient cosmological idea of a harmonious, hierarchical, an…
Psychology’s “Crisis” and the Need for Reflection. A Plea for Modesty in Psychological Theorizing
Remembering the “lens”: Visual transformations of a concept from Heider to Brunswik
It is argued that Frederic Bartlett's views on the social and cultural determinants of remembering and recognition provide a useful background for analyzing the transformations of psychological concepts and images when they are introduced into new academic collectives. An example of a "Bartlettian" view on the history of psychology is given by reconstructing and contextualizing the transformation of the "lens," a model of human perception that wa…
Images of the invisible: An account of iconic media in the history of psychology
What epistemic use and function do images and graphs fulfill in scientific practice? Whilst this question is nowadays broadly discussed in the history of science, the history of psychology usually ignores the iconic material presented in textbooks, papers, and essays of the discipline’s past. Such a habit of logo-centrism in the popular history of psychology seems all the more surprising as contemporary psychology heavily relies on flow charts, s…
From the EEL to the EGO: Psychoanalysis and the Remnants of Freud's Early Scientific Practice
While numerous historiographical works have been written to shed light on Freud's early theoretical education in biology, physiology, and medicine and on the influence of that education on psychoanalysis, this paper approaches Freud's basic comprehension of science and methodology by focusing on his early research practice in physiology and neuranatomy. This practice, taking place in the specific context of Ernst Brücke's physiological laboratory…
