Münsterberg - Hugo Münsterberg

A psychologist active in Germany and the United States. Born in Danzig, Germany. He received his doctorate from W. Bundt, but was opposed to Bundt's ideas. He then obtained his medical degree in Heidelberg and became an assistant professor of psychology in Freiburg. At the time, he was an active academic experimental psychologist, and caught the eye of W. James of Harvard University in the United States, who invited him to the university as a professor of experimental psychology (1892-1916). However, the American climate soon caused him to shift his interests from academic experimental psychology to applied psychology. In 1908, he wrote "On the Witness Stand," which suggested the relationship between the reliability of testimony and blood pressure, and in 1909, he published "Psychotherapy" and in 1910, "Psychology and the Teacher." In 1913, he wrote "Psychology and Industrial Efficiency," and in 1914, "Psychology General and Applied" and "Psychology and Social Sanity," in which he advocated the application of psychology to the law, medicine, education, industry, and social order.

ドイツおよびアメリカで活躍した心理学者。ドイツのダンツィヒ生まれ。W・ブントのもとで学位をとったが、ブントの考えには反対であった。その後ハイデルベルクで医学の学位をとり、フライブルクで心理学の助教授となる。当時はアカデミックな実験心理学者であり活発な活動をしていたので、アメリカのハーバード大学のW・ジェームズの目にとまり、実験心理学担当の教授として同大学に招かれた(1892~1916)。しかし、アメリカの風土は、まもなく彼の関心をアカデミックな実験心理学から応用心理学の方向に大きく転換させた。1908年には『証人席の上で』を書き、証言の信頼性と血圧との関係を示唆したのをはじめ、1909年には『心理療法』を、1910年には『心理学と教師』を発表。また1913年には『心理学と産業能率』を、1914年には『心理学・一般的および応用的』『心理学と社会的正気』を書き、司法、医学、教育、産業、社会秩序などへの心理学の応用を提唱した。
