International Psychological Decade.

In 1979 psychology will celebrate the centennial of what many psychologists have found it convenient to consider the beginning of scientific psychology--the opening of Wundt's laboratory in Leipzig in 1879. Looking ahead to that occasion the authors suggests that we might use it as the conclusion of what could be an effort to accelerate the development of scientific psychology and its applications worldwide. The author propose an International Psychological Decade (IPD) to cover the period 1969 to 1979, wherein a number of extra activities would be undertaken to increase our knowledge and use of psychology. More details on this idea are provided in this column. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

Psychological Bulletin.

This article is reprinted from the Psychological Bulletin, 1965, 63, 73. There will be an important change in editorial policy for the Psychological Bulletin which will be put into effect for Volume 63, 1965. This was made possible by action of the Board of Directors and Council of the Association in doubling the number of pages per year for the Bulletin. The editors will welcome methodological articles, including all phases of methodology, whether experimental, analytical, or statistical. Although such articles have been accepted in the past, the invitation stressed methodological reviews. The characteristics methodological articles should have are discussed here.
