The Princeton University Department of Psychology, located in Peretsman-Scully Hall, is an academic department of Princeton University in Princeton, New Jersey. For over a century, the department has been one of the most notable psychology departments in the country.〔Glucksberg, S. (1978). (Psychology, the Department of ). In A. Leitch, (Ed.), ''A Princeton Companion''. Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press. Retrieved July 30, 2008. 〕 It has been home to psychologists who have made well-known scientific discoveries in the fields of psychology and neuroscience (e.g., adult neurogenesis in primate brains,〔Gould, E., Reeves, A. J., Fallah, M., Tanapat, P., Gross, C. G., & Fuchs, E. (1999). Hippocampal neurogenesis in adult Old World primates.

Retrieved July 31, 2008.〕 ==History== In 1893, fourteen years after Wilhelm Wundt founded the first psychology laboratory in the world, a Psychology Laboratory was built in Nassau Hall, the oldest building in the university, under the leadership of J. Mark Baldwin. In 1915, psychology received recognition in the title when the department was renamed Department of Philosophy and Psychology. It was not until 1920, however, that the Department of Psychology was established with Howard Warren as its first chairman.〔 In 1924, Eno Hall was constructed to house the department. The building was named in honor of Henry Eno, the principal donor and research associate in psychology. Warren was also a donor, but he chose to keep his donation anonymous at the time. He commented that it was "the first laboratory in this country, if not in the world, dedicated solely to the teaching and investigation of scientific psychology."〔Leitch, A. (1978). (''A Princeton Companion'' ). Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press. Retrieved July 29, 2008.〕 According to university president John Hibben, the laboratory was the realization of a dream that Warren had cherished for a long time. University president James McCosh was primary professor of psychology in the early days of the department.〔Maier, B. N. (2004). The role of James McCosh in God's exile from psychology. ''History of Psychology'', ''7''(4), 323-339.〕〔 Baldwin, who studied under both McCosh and Wundt, continued this tradition. In 1963, the department relocated to Green Hall on the corner of Washington St. and William St. The building, which had been previously occupied by the School of Engineering, was redesigned by university alumnus Francis W. Roudebush for the use of the psychology and sociology departments.〔Leitch, A. (1978). (''A Princeton Companion'' ). Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press. Retrieved July 29, 2008.〕 In 1972, the Princeton Psychology Colloquium Committee, which schedules weekly speeches and discussions for psychology students, invited Richard Herrnstein, psychology professor at Harvard University to speak about the vision of pigeons.〔(Herrnstein feels threatened, cancels Princeton appearance ). (1972). ''The Harvard Crimson''. Retrieved August 6, 2008.〕 At the time, Herrnstein was the victim of serious criticism because he had written an article in which he argued that genetic differences would play an increasingly larger role in the determination of social status.〔Heyman, G. M., Maher, B. A., White, S. H., & Wilson, J. Q. (1998). (Faculty of Arts and Sciences, memorial minute ). ''The Harvard University Gazette''. Retrieved August 6, 2008.〕 Because Princeton's University Action Group, a radical student organization, threatened to sabotage the event on the grounds that Herrnstein was a racist, the Harvard professor canceled his appearance. Kamin asserted that "the climate in which () decision was made raises serious questions about freedom of speech."〔 Most of the department's graduates from the classes of 2004 to 2007 had placements in the faculties of research universities and post-doctoral positions.〔 Thanks to a group of faculty and students who work across traditional disciplines and departments, interdisciplinary research and scholarship in the department has grown significantly since the end of the twentieth century.〔〔 In December, 2013, the department relocated to the newly built Peretsman-Scully Hall, located farther down Washington Road on the southeast side of Poe Field. 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「Princeton University Department of Psychology」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
