Joseph Frank Rychlak (; December 17, 1928 – April 16, 2013) is a psychologist well known for his work with theoretical and philosophical psychology. He developed a theoretical stance known as "Rigorous Humanism." This term refers to Rychlak's argument that psychology with ecological validity should be directed toward issues that are relevant to our lives.〔King, B. D., Viney, W., Douglas Woody, W. (1993). A history of psychology (4): 426-427〕 ==Biography== Rychlak enlisted in the Army-Air Force after graduating from high school and served his enlistment at Barksdale Field in Shreveport, Louisiana.〔http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/indystar/obituary.aspx?pid=164299843〕 During his time in the military, Rychlak realized that the best way to get ahead in life was to obtain an education. He became inspired to go to college and spent the remainder of his enlistment reading books off of the Harvard List of Great Books, preparing himself for college. He received his B.S. from the University of Wisconsin–Madison, where he graduated Phi Beta Kappa, and his M.A. and Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Ohio State University.〔 Rychlak worked at Florida State University, Washington State University, Saint Louis University and Purdue University 〔Rychlak, J. F. (2005). In Search and Proof of Human Beings, Not Machines. Journal Of Personality Assessment, 85(3), 239-256. doi:10.1207/s15327752jpa8503_01〕 before retiring with emeritus status as the Maude C. Clark Professor in Humanistic Psychology at Loyola University in Chicago, Illinois.〔 After his graduate degree, Rychlak joined Douglas W. Bray's 25-year Management Progress Study as a personal interviewer.〔 This longitudinal study helped him design a "life themes" scoring system that enabled them to numerically analyze the information he received from his interviews. The scoring system and subsequent data are detailed in his book, ''Personality and Lifestyle of Young Male Managers: A Logical Learning Theory Analysis''.〔 Rychlak's work can be roughly divided into two main areas: theoretical and empirical. The theoretical area of his work is centered on exploring and understanding the theoretical and philosophical foundations of psychology. The empirical area of his work focuses mainly on scientific experiments designed to empirically test his logical learning theory.〔 Rychlak authored 17 books and over 200 papers and served as a Fellow in the American Psychological Association, a Fellow in the American Psychological Society, and was twice a president of the APA's division of Theoretical and Philosophical Psychology.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Joseph F.
