AbstractDuring the 124 years that the University of Denver has been in existence, psychology offerings have not only paralleled the broader development of the university, but also American higher education during the same period. Early courses in mental science represented nineteenth‐century Protestant Scholasticism well. These courses were succeeded by a transition to functional psychology with an emphasis on applications to education and business. During this time, religious control and limitation slowly disappeared. Beginning in the 1930s, research increasingly became significant, and this trend has accelerated throughout the next two decades, as psychology in the universitysity entered the mainstream of the professio

摘要:

AbstractArizona did not change from territorial status to statehood until 1912. Before then it was raw frontier of the sort depicted in western cowboy cinema, and the early growth of its first university and of psychology within the university reveals the brashness those films often depict. The regents name one of their number a professor of agriculture so they can claim they are entitled to a grant, a mining engineer teaches the three seniors psychology, a poet draws the assignment for several years, a psychologist shows Mexican‐Americans with Indian blood to be inferior to those without, and more. But somehow research and graduate education eventually emerg

摘要:

AbstractColorado State University, an institution steeped in the land grant tradition, has been guided largely by practical concerns. Cast in this pragmatic mold, the Psychology Department has developed programs relevant to industry, education, and human adjustment. The growth of psychology at Colorado State is outlined here, from its long struggle to attain departmental status to its current role in the College of Natural Sciences.

摘要:

AbstractThe Psychology Department at the University of New Mexico began as a normal department. It was indelibly influenced to be a part of the natural science grouping in the university's liberal arts college by a strong second president, Clarence L. Herrick, himself a comparative neurologist and geologist. However, some change was effected by the influence of Functionalism and World War I. Over the years psychology suffered from pressures of underfunding, ethnicity, and political factors. A sharp change occurred shortly after 1964. The contribution of an Air Force behavioral science contract in 1957‐1958 is also discusse

摘要:

AbstractThe University of Nevada was founded in 1874. First located in Elko, it was moved to Reno in 1886. The initial curriculum included psychology as a required course for seniors. For some years psychology was taught by professors primarily trained in other disciplines, but in 1909 George Ordahl, a G. Stanley Hall Ph.D., joined the faculty and set up a psychology laboratory. He was succeeded by James Young, who was followed by Ralph Irwin, and later by Paul Secord. During Secord's tenure doctoral programs were developed in experimental psychology, social psychology (jointly with sociology), and clinical psychology.

摘要:

AbstractPsychology has been taught at the University of Colorado since shortly after it opened in the late 1870s. Initially, it was tied closely to education, but by the 1920s the Psychology Department stood on its own. Strong doctoral programs emerged by the middle of the twentieth century, including that in clinical psychology. Federal training and research funds soon further strengthened the department, providing national recognition and the resources to establish prominent affiliated research institutes. The department's orientation has been national rather than regional almost from the start.

摘要:

AbstractA student's retrospective on psychology graduate training at the University of Arizona in the early 1960s attempts to capture the richness of opportunity available to students of that era. At a time of transition within the field of psychology, the stimulating heterogeneity of faculty and students, the availability of multidisciplinary training opportunities in unique settings, and the cultural stimulation of the Southwest itself combined to provide a special training environment that encouraged diversity, innovation, and creativity as students molted into their professional roles. The author concludes that he and his fellow students continue to profit from that special experience.

摘要:

AbstractAffiliating formally with The American Psychological Association in 1930, the Rocky Mountain Psychological Association (RMPA) developed from a small core group of behavioristically inclined Colorado and Wyoming psychologists. After World War II its perspective broadened and geographic expansion took place; psychologists from New Mexico, Utah, Idaho, and Montana joined RMPA. With a continuing influx of psychologists into the region, improvement in transportation, and heightened appeal of the area for both living and recreation, conventions became larger, and participants came from all over the nation and abroad to the meetings. Nevada and Arizona also affiliated with RMPA. The transition from localism to profession was completed.

摘要:

AbstractPsychology in the Rocky Mountain region as portrayed in its newspapers is examined in two brief case studies. The first study looks at the prevalence of clairvoyants and other pseudopsychologists at the beginning of the twentieth century, whereas the second describes the lack of interest by newspapers in the first twenty‐five years of meetings of the Rocky Mountain Psychological Association. These items are treated in the context of the psychologists' concern with their public imag

摘要:

AbstractA pioneer in descriptive ethology and developmental psychobiology, Margaret Altmann almost singlehandedly initiated the modern naturalistic study of the behavior of large animals in their normal habitat. After obtaining a doctorate in agriculture in Germany, she worked for several years in the German Ministry of Agriculture before coming to the United States in the early 1930s. At Cornell University she did research on animal behavior and earned a second doctoral degree in psychobiology, then moved to Hampton Institute and thence to the University of Colorado in 1958. From 1948 to her death in 1984 she studied large animals in the wilderness.
