Jerome S. Bruner (1915-2016) is a legendary figure in psychology and one of the most influential psychologists and educators of this era. His research interests were diverse, and his achievements were impressive. Although Bruner's contributions are significant, no studies have been undertaken to investigate the value and impact of his theories outside the United States, to the detriment of scholarship. To fill this research gap, this article analyzes Chinese research on Bruner's work to determine the influence of such research in China. Through a systematic historical investigation and theoretical interpretation, this article indicates the different stages of transmission, outstanding contributions, and future development path of Bruner's influence on Chinese psychology. This serves to expand the field of research psychology. Promoting the diversified integration of psychology and obtaining an in-depth understanding of the frontier issues that this international psychologist was concerned with has important academic significance for the future development of Chinese psychology.

Jerome S. Bruner(1915-2016)是心理学界的传奇人物,也是这个时代最有影响力的心理学家和教育家之一。他的研究兴趣广泛,成就斐然。尽管布鲁纳的贡献是重要的,但在美国以外,还没有研究调查他的理论的价值和影响,这不利于学术研究。为了填补这一研究空白,本文分析了中国对布鲁纳作品的研究,以确定该研究在中国的影响。本文通过系统的历史考察和理论解读,指出布鲁纳对中国心理学影响的不同传播阶段、突出贡献和未来发展路径。这有助于拓展心理学的研究领域。推动心理学的多元化整合,深入了解这位国际心理学家所关注的前沿问题,对中国心理学的未来发展具有重要的学术意义。(PsycInfo数据库记录(c) 2023 APA,版权所有)。

At the height of the Depression, more psychologists in the U.S. were awarded degrees than could find jobs. Master's level graduates were particularly affected, holding positions that were tenuous, and they rejected second-class membership offered by the American Psychological Association. In response to this employment crisis, two Columbia University MA graduates created The Psychological Exchange, a journal that offered graduates and established colleagues a forum for news, job ads, and for discussing the expansion of psychology to address problems of the Depression. This article describes the Exchange and its unique window into psychologists debating how to reshape their field. In 1934, it was used by young Marxists to launch The Psychologists' League, which agitated for colleagues who lost their jobs, tried to make research socially relevant, and connected with movements for the "social reconstruction" of society. It raised the consciousness of its members and sympathizers by linking to worldwide antifascist struggles while fighting antisemitism and nativism at home. While previous accounts make the League seem a spontaneous eruption, this article shows how members of the Communist Party created it, then controlled its agenda and activities. During the Stalin-Hitler pact they followed Stalin's anti-war ideology and the League became a shell organization. Its members, nonetheless, creatively mixed psychological concepts and political ideology, drawing in colleagues through discussion groups, demonstrations, and social events. Sources for this work include unpublished correspondence, a diary, and Federal Bureau of Investigation files that reveal more complex lives than previously portrayed.

When the Galton whistle was introduced in the 1870s, it was the first demonstration many had encountered of the phenomenon that nonhumans sometimes exceed humans in sensory range, for example perceiving ultraviolet light and ultrasonic signals. While some empirical research had explored this possibility beforehand, this area of perceptual research progressed slowly. A horror short story by Ambrose Bierce in 1893, "The Damned Thing," used the concept of superior nonhuman sensory range as a twist ending, seemingly anticipating scientific discoveries to come or at least understanding the implications of the early findings well in advance of the field. This article analyzes Bierce's possible sources, with Bierce representing the general educated nonscientist and providing insights into the spread of this concept into public and scientific awareness.

In this article, the author offers his reflections on being elected Fellow of the American Psychological Association as an historian of psychology. The author didn't start out as an historian. His bachelor and doctorate are both in psychology. But he did also certainly choose to leave psychology, then to return with a different perspective. So this election feels like an affirmation of that decision, and an endorsement of the scholarship that resulted: his service to science by other means, after he was himself "revised and resubmitted." Nearly two decades after his original departure from experimental psychology, the author has decided that "science" is the set of tested- and defended boundaries of what we think we know, which move as they're renegotiated. In other words, science is the shared collection and discussion of what has been accepted to be the case (as well as the process of careful revision). But it's also then the history of science that provides evidence to answer the philosophical "demarcation problem," not science itself. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved).

Arthur R. Jensen (1923-2012) defended the idea that racial differences in intelligence were biologically based. He based his ideas on what he claimed were sound population genetics and evolutionary biology. Viewing his work through the lenses of those disciplines reveals that his arguments for biological racial differences did not meet the minimum evidentiary requirements needed to show that socially defined races were genetic populations. His evidence was from 19th-century race science and the race science of the Nazi regime. His reliance on such evidence supported Jensen's fears that the country was in danger of collapse because of dysgenic breeding by those of low intelligence. Jensen's well-known associations with scientific racists were not incidental to his scientific work, but central because he cited their work throughout his career.

阿瑟·r·詹森(Arthur R. Jensen, 1923-2012)为种族智力差异是基于生物学的观点辩护。他把自己的观点建立在他声称是可靠的种群遗传学和进化生物学的基础上。从这些学科的角度来看,他关于生物种族差异的论点没有达到证明社会定义的种族是遗传种群所需的最低证据要求。他的证据来自19世纪的种族科学和纳粹政权的种族科学。他对这些证据的依赖支持了詹森的担忧,即由于低智商的人的基因不良繁殖,这个国家正处于崩溃的危险之中。众所周知,詹森与科学种族主义者的联系并非偶然发生在他的科学工作中,而是至关重要的,因为他在整个职业生涯中都引用了他们的工作。(PsycInfo数据库记录(c) 2023 APA,版权所有)。

One of the most important successes in the history of psychology in Chile was the foundation in 1908 of the first experimental psychology laboratory in Santiago by the German psychologist Wilhelm Mann (1974-1943). Four years later, Mann give a shift to his classical experimental psychology research to intervene in the discussions about German School Reform (1900-1920). Mann used Chile as a "testing ground" for explore the viability of student self-government published in three papers. The method used to verify the early impact of Mann's papers was the quantitative analysis of citations with Publish or Perish software using a Google Books database and Scripta Paedagogica. The reception of Mann's texts was analyzed using the context of citation and the functions and use of those citations. The three unknow Mann's papers about Student Self-Government published in 1913 and his citations. The results shows that Mann's critics and recommendations published in one of his papers was the fourth more citated in a database of 16 foundational German works of to self-student government. Finally, this Mann's article was cited and used in an ideological way to argue in favor of reactionary and conservative opinions of school democratization in German Empire teacher circles. Mann's diagnosis and critical suggestions was recognized by prominent German philosophers and pedagogues. Precisely Mann criticized the Student Republics as the only way to stimulate the student self-government for their artificial character and especially for the loss of students' psychological individuality.

智利心理学史上最重要的成功之一是1908年德国心理学家Wilhelm Mann(1974-1943)在圣地亚哥建立了第一个实验心理学实验室。四年后,曼恩转向他的经典实验心理学研究,介入关于德国学校改革(1900-1920)的讨论。曼恩以智利为“试验场”,探索学生自治的可行性,并发表了三篇论文。验证Mann论文早期影响的方法是使用Google Books数据库和Scripta Paedagogica的Publish or Perish软件对引用进行定量分析。从引文的语境、引文的功能和使用等方面分析了曼恩文本的接受。1913年发表的曼恩关于学生自治的三篇论文及其引证。结果显示,曼恩在他的一篇论文中发表的批评和建议,在一个包含16篇德国自主政府基础著作的数据库中,被引用次数排名第四。最后,曼恩的这篇文章被引用并以一种意识形态的方式来论证德意志帝国教师界对学校民主化的反动和保守观点。曼恩的诊断和批判性建议得到了德国著名哲学家和教育家的认可。正是曼恩批评学生共和国是激发学生自治的唯一途径,因为它具有人为的性质,尤其是丧失了学生的心理个性。(PsycInfo数据库记录(c) 2023 APA,版权所有)。

Italian academic psychology found its first location in the Anthropological Museum of the Faculty of Natural Sciences at the University of Rome, where in 1890 a Laboratory of Experimental Psychology was established. In 1905, the first three Chairs of Experimental Psychology at the Universities of Turin, Rome, and Naples were created. These were followed in the subsequent years by others, until 1930, in other academic institutions. After many years and a long period of crisis linked to the fascist regime, only after the World War II (WWII), with the rebirth of the country, did psychology gradually rebuild its status as a scientific discipline. Within this framework of the renewal of society and university studies, in 1971, two degree courses were instituted in Rome and Padua. Based on research in central and local academic archives and on an analysis of the secondary literature, the gestation phase of the 4-year degree course in Psychology, the progressive establishment of the Psychology Departments, and the 5-year reform of the courses up to the birth of the first Faculty of Psychology at an Italian university are reconstructed. The aim of this article is to propose a well-founded discontinuist historiographical reading of the process of sedimentation of psychological experimentation that, after being born in the Faculty of Sciences and later transferring to the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery, also led to important developments in the Faculty of Education, with the recognition of an autonomous academic space of scientific discipline with a degree course, departments and finally the Faculty of Psychology.
