On fait l'hypothese que beaucoup de recherches en psychologie de l'enfant sont paralysees par le meconnaissance de la dimension historique dans la construction des conduites. L'enfant rencontre l'histoire dans le maniement des œuvres, ou elles se trouvent cristallisees; dans les crises de civilisation ou il eprouve l'ebranlement des modeles qui lui sont transmis ; dans les experiences qu'en cooperation avec les autres il tente pour y repondre; enfin dans les personnes qui lui presentent les œuvres et les crises. Quelques exemples sont suggeres das apports de la psychologie historique a une int...

The main transformations were from psychology as instrumental toward the goals of the progressive movement in the Netherlands, then to extreme criticism of all scientific and professional psychological activities, and finally to adherence to the most advanced approaches within academic psychology.

This article examines square the areas of psychology to which early years teachers are typically introduced square the implications of these psychological perspectives on classroom practice square alternative psychological perspectives and their implications for practice in the early years. The critical question addressed in this article is whether it is possible for early years teachers to achieve an understanding and appreciation of children...

Abstract : The document considers that the term applied psychology is more or less a convenient one to apply to basic laboratory research and practice in scientific psychology, including industrial psychology. It would appear to be a matter of terminology for the most part. Culture change brings about problems which are put into the category of practical psychology.

This paper offers an environmental psychological analysis of child sexual abuse, a pervasive and disruptive societal problem. Earlier analyses of child sexual abuse have emphasized clinical, social, and developmental concepts and methodologies, while neglecting the environmental context of the problem. The proposed conceptualization of child sexual abuse suggests that a broader understanding of the etiology and psychosocial consequences of this problem can be achieved by integrating theoretical constructs drawn from clinical, social, developmental, and environmental psychology. First, some of ...

Der Beitrag betrachtet die Verkehrspsychologie aus der Perspektive einer Psychologie des Autofahrens. Es wird deutlich, dass die Verkehrspsychologie zentrale Merkmale erfuellt, die aus dieser Perspektive abgeleitet werden koennen. 1. Psychologie des Autofahrens impliziert nicht die Forderung nach einer vereinheitlichenden umfassenden Theorie. Die Verkehrspsychologie kann auf eine Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Betrachtungen des Erlebens und Verhaltens im Strassenverkehr zurueckgreifen. Diese Heterogenitaet stellt eine Qualitaet dar, die der Verkehrspsychologie unterschiedliche Zugaenge zu ihrem Th...

German (or German/Scandinavian) Kritische Psychologie emerged in the context of intellectual and political struggles at the Free University in former West Berlin during the 1960s and 1970s (see Osterkamp and Schraube 2013 for an overview; Maiers 1999; Morck and Huniche 2006; Tolman 1994). While based on a number of topical contributions (including Dreier 1980; Haug 1987; Holzkamp 1973; Osterkamp 1976; Tolman and Maiers 1991; Schurig 1975), Klaus Holzkamp’s (1927–1995) work played a pivotal role for Kritische Psychologie. Its philosophical foundation is informed by historical dialectical materi...

Starting with this, the first issue in 2007, the Zeitschrift fur Psychologie is appearing in a new format and style. There are two main changes. First, the Journal is now being published in English – and accordingly, the original title has been extended to include the English form of the title. It will from now on be called Zeitschrift fur Psychologie / Journal of Psychology. Second, in the future each issue will be devoted to a particular topic. The need for these changes in the Zeitschrift fur Psychologie results from the changed journal landscape in the field of psychology. There are of cou...

Abstract : Some shortcomings of the usual experiments on verbal learning are demonstrated. It seems to be crucial to take semantical and syntactical aspects of the learning material into account. A new method for learning experiments with prose is outlined. (Author)

The ideal topical issue or monograph should be more than just a compilation of high-quality research papers. It should cover the broad range of aspects of the topic, including various standpoints, new developments, the activities of young or recently established research groups, as well as information on new books and papers or even relevant specialist conferences. The ideal topical issue also has to be compiled by a leading expert on the subject in question, and so generally it will be guest editors who are best qualified to do this under the ‘‘meta-guidance’’ of a team of editors. It is for ...

sadness (and of other terms for mental states) is at a minimum, there is an important sense in which it is conceivable for "sadness" to be different in India. At the very least we might discover that in one culture people experience "fatigue and heartaches," but not when valued things become unattainable, whereas in another culture people withdraw from the world when valued objects are irrevocably lost but this withdrawing has been coupled or harnessed in ontogenetic development to a very different somatic experience. If all our universals are known, by strict definition, in advance, thinking ...

Trois approches qui ont tendance a s’ignorer composent la psychologie sociale : la psychologie sociale fondamentale que certains considerent seule comme scientifique, et qui construit ses savoirs en se basant essentiellement sur l’experimentation en laboratoire, la psychologie sociale appliquee ouverte aux problematiques sociales, et qui elabore ses connaissances a travers des recherches portant sur l’individu dans son contexte, et la simple application de savoirs elabores ailleurs, sans se soucier de la situation particuliere dans laquelle ils sont appliques. La psychologie sociale se doit de...

Presentation de l'ouvrage de T. Nagel intitule «The last word» (1997) qui contribue au progjet entrepris par Husserl et Frege de dissocier l'etude de la pensee de l'etude du penser, dans un meme rejet du psychologisme. Defendant l'universalite et l'objectivite de la raison contre les theses subjectivistes et relativistes, Nagel montre que les principes memes de la critique rationaliste ont le dernier mot dans ce debat. Distinguant les principes prescriptifs de la verite et les lois descriptives du raisonnement humain, l'A. montre que la comprehension de la rationalite depend de la psychologie ...

Rhetorical calls for disciplinary unity and vision currently lack any grounding in historically informed analysis of Psychology's character and functions, while the historians of Psychology providing the material for such an analysis continue to remain marginalized. A framework for considering the issue is outlined in terms of a circuit reflexively linking the discipline ('Psychology') and its subject matter ('psychology'). This focuses on the psychologist role, the `inputs' from which Psychological ideas ultimately derive, and the disciplinary `outputs', which in turn affect psychology itself...

La considerable reussite de la psychologie clinique en France a fini par masquer les serieuses difficultes d'unification de la profession de psychologue. Aborder la question de la psychologie de sante oblige donc a s'entendre en prealable sur les principes d'une organisation de la discipline par specialite - soit par champ scientifique, soit par secteurs d'activite - et a reinterroger la notion de sante qui a beaucoup evolue, ce qui permet de degager des perspectives d'ensemble pour la profession de psychologue et pour la structure des etudes.

Conceptual and procedural aspects of the forensic practitioner's role in personal injury litigation are identified relative to the provision of evaluative, consultative, and court-related services. A model is presented for comprehensive clinical and psychodiagnostic assessment consistent with concepts of legal relevance and probative value. The model facilitates rendering psycholegal formulations and opinions regarding compensatory damages when retained to examine mental and emotional elements entered as causes of action in tort. The differential contribution of state and trait level condition...

Because of the fiasco of some judiciary cases, the question of child’s lies fascinates the specialists and the experts. It is important to know the specific dynamic of child’s lies, and to draw out some consequences. The child has to be treated like a victim or a witness as everyone else would be, that is to say as a potentially flawed or suggestible human being. Notwithstanding the quality of the information laying in the child’s testimony, it is important to check its credibility. The seriousness of the analysis of the child’s testimony and of its evaluation involves an expertise proven by a...

Abstract Throughout the reproductive years, from around age 13 to about 5o, the menstrual cycle provides continual, mainly positive, changes in the internal environment of women. This cycle of change is an integral and influential part of normal existence. Knowledge of the reproductive cycle and of its effects is essential to a full understanding of women. This paper describes each phase of the cycle in terms of broad psychological and physiological changes. Although personal and social events will clearly affect each woman's experience, it is clear that a background climate is set by the cycl...

Im letzten Heft dieser Zeitschrift haben uns fuhrende Vertreter der Biologischen Psychologie an ihren Visionen der Entwicklung des Faches teilhaben lassen. Dabei markieren sie den Weg, der uns davor bewahren soll, dass „die gesamte Psychologie rasch als Wissenschaft an Bedeutung verlieren (wird) und zu einem Studium fur fragwurdige Professionalitat von Psychotherapeuten und Berufsberatern verkommt“ (Birbaumer). Es ist, wenig uberraschend, die Biologische Psychologie, die uns, und dies betrifft vor allem die Allgemeine Psychologie, vor diesem Abstieg bewahren soll: eine Verschmelzung von Biopsy...

Much of the psychology of teaching psychology involves capitalizing on students' eagerness for self-disclosure and learning from their own experiences.

Psychology A is a course in the scientific study of human nature and intelligence. It aims to preserve such breadth and rigor of treatment as fits a course for an academic degree and still to meet the peculiar wants of the prospective teacher. The latter end is attained by the selection of topics and by the use of illustrations from school life whenever possible. Semi-meta­physical questions, such as the nature of the self, the nature of knowledge, or the supra-phenomenal relation of mind and body, are entirely eliminated. Any detailed study of the physiology of the sense organs, of the relati...

Kelly suggested that it may be useful to see the' scientist as also behaving as a subject when conducting research. In contrast to the traditional empiricist notion, the scientist as knowledge seeker is deeply and personally involved in the assumptions which underlie and extend beyond the conduct of the acutal research study*. The present study examines this personal component, of the psychological scientist’s approach to research by examining the construct dimensions which are chosen for construing the discipline of psychology* Twelve psychologists (5 practicing clinicians and 7 academician/ ...

Abstract Folk psychology, the naive understanding of mental state concepts, requires a model of how people ascribe mental states to themselves. Competent speakers associate a distinctive memory representation (a category representation, CR) with each mentalistic word in their lexicon. A decision to ascribe such a word to oneself depends on matching to the CR an instance representation (IR) of one's current state. As in visual object recognition, evidence about a CR's content includes the IRs that are or are not available to trigger a match. This poses serious problems for functionalism, the th...

In the last 25 years, there has been a growing body of work in the social sciences that has noticed, given voice to, and expanded on the severe epistemological crisis in the field (see Rabinow & Sullivan, 1979, for an early view; Gergen, 1985, for a conceptual framework; Sampson, 1991, for a current summary). The truth claims of a universal, transhistorical human science have been called into question by a number of hermeneuticists and social constructionists. Their critique is founded on the argument that there is no transcendent, ahistorical realm of truth: All research strategies, collected...

In “Aesthetic Problems of Modern Philosophy,” first published in 1965, and later collected in Must We Mean What We Say?, Stanley Cavell wrote: We know the efforts of such philosophers as Frege and Husserl to undo the “psychologizing” of logic (like Kant’s undoing Hume’s psychologizing of knowledge): now, the shortest way I might describe such a book as the Philosophical Investigations is to say that it attempts to undo the psychologizing of psychology, to show the necessity controlling our application of psychological and behavioral categories; even, one could say, show the necessities in hum...

Eva Frommer presents a compassionate account of the developmental stages from dependency to inde pendence. It is not entirely clear to whom the author is addressing herself; presumably she is writing to the sophisticated lay reader rather than the professional worker. However, some features are of interest to the latter, namely the reference to the concepts on which the work of the Rudolph Steiner Communities is based ; the attempt to examine behavioural types in the chapter on temperament and personality, the sanguine, phlegmatic, melancholic and choleric; the career patterns of young people,...

This paper seeks to show that logic and psychology imply each other and that syllogistic logic may legitimately be regarded as fundamental. This is hardly surprising since it was described 2000 years before the existence of any other kind was suspected. In the 19th century, psychology was concerned mainly with states of consciousness that, being evanescent and unique to the individual, could not form a foundation for logic. Logicians looked elsewhere, frequently to postulate sets, as a foundation for propositional logic from which predicate logic could be derived. Propositions, true or false b...

The question of renaming graduate psychology programs to psychological science is a timely and contentious issue. To better understand why some programs, but not others, are changing names, we surveyed chairpersons (Study 1) and faculty (Study 2) within graduate psychology and psychological science programs. Within psychology programs, a name change was often perceived as unnecessary, nonrepresentative, or intimidating to science-averse students. Within psychological science programs, a name change was often perceived as better conveying the science of psychology to others, a scientific/resear...

It has been almost a decade and a half since the field of the psychology of religion was appraised in the prestigious Annual Review of Psychology series (Emmons & Paloutzian, 2003). One of the themes these authors called attention to was the psychology of virtue. At the nexus of the psychology of religion, personality psychology, moral philosophy, and the psychology of emotion, virtue psychology was beginning to make a comeback in psychology. Partly responsible for this resurgence was the positive psychology movement (Seligman & Csikszentmihalyi, 2000), which sought to systematically classify ...

There is a revolution of modernistic philosophy from subject to being. Logos is emphasized in subject philosophy in which logos been away from the reality and the object. However, psychology of being declare that the centrical of logos should be toppled over. Reality is emphasized in being psychology in which the unity of logos and reality become more important.

The discipline of psychology as a science and the newly emerging field of international psychology are at a crossroads in terms of a conflict that has developed in their views. By means of comparative analysis, this article examines how the proponents of international psychology describe their area, how that description conflicts with the concept of psychology as a science, and what that conflict means for the development of psychology as an overall discipline. The analysis reveals weaknesses in the way international psychology has presented itself, and in the objectives it proposes, which, if...

Abstract : A handbook contains information on psychological theory and measurement methods.

The classification of academic psychology journals by a French joint committee of the Agency for evaluation of Research and Higher Education (AERES), the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) and the National Council of Universities (CNU) has raised many protests in the French scientific community. This article examines two aspects of the question: 1) The relevance of the criteria set forth by the commission to classify journals; 2) On the basis of a detailed analysis of 48 French journals in psychology defined within this classification, it objectively compares the classification wit...

Over the last twenty years, the legal system has seen a variety of psycholegal research studies and advocacy efforts aimed at informing the law about legally relevant psychological issues. Psycholegal researchers have been involved in public interest litigation, legislative decision-making, criminal justice interventions, and United States Supreme Court advocacy. But while the impact of social science on law at times is substantial and occasionally even decisive, relevant research often is ignored or dismissed as irrelevant to the legal question. When research findings are cited in court opini...

Our aim in this paper is to critically discuss a dominant conceptualisation of the individual that informs much of Psychology where it is being applied to behaviour change strategies. Theories and ...

"Although the final remarks in this volume were written less than a fortnight before Wittgenstein's death, the work as a whole has all the forcefulness, originality and richness that characterise his greatest works. The remarks in this volume do not merely repeat points made elsewhere, nor do they merely supplement works already published. The volume incorporates genuinely new material that does a great deal to reveal both the subtlety of Wittgenstein's thoughts on subjectivity and the logic of psychological concepts, and the workings of his philosophical method."

Originally published in Contemporary Psychology: APA Review of Books, 1969, Vol 14(10), 564. Reviews the book, Epistemologie et Psychologie de la Fonction. (Epistemology: Psychology of Function) by Jean Piaget, Jean-Blaise Frize, Alina Szeminska and, Vinh Bang (1968). As the title suggests, the book is concerned with functions which, for Piaget, are the precursors of concrete operations that appear in early childhood. Like many of the other volumes in the series, the chapters of this book were written by different authors, and some report research, whereas others deal with theory. This book br...

Cet article vers sur le debat a propos d'un texte de Canguilhem, "Qu'est-ce que la Psychologie?". L'auteur refait le parcours de la discussion de ce texte et de la repercussion qu'il a eu au debat academique. La these centrale est les critiques que Canguilhem fait a la Psychologie, soit une critique epistemologique, etique ou politique. Quelques principaux axes du debat sont le statut de la psycologie devant la philosophie et la medicine, comme la Psychologie se porte entre ces deux champs de connaissance; les concepts du normal e du patologique et son usage, entre d'autres.

Oz: Tarih boyunca Kur’an’i anlama cabasina yonelik olarak cesitli acilardan Kur’an’in derinlemesine, ayrintili, tahlili tefsirleri yapilmistir.

In this article, we approach the relationship between neoliberalism and psychological science from the theoretical perspective of cultural psychology. In the first section, we trace how engagement with neoliberal systems results in characteristic tendencies—including a radical abstraction of self from social and material context, an entrepreneurial understanding of self as an ongoing development project, an imperative for personal growth and fulfillment, and an emphasis on affect management for self-regulation—that increasingly constitute the knowledge base of mainstream psychological science....
