History

Psychology at Harvard was originally very closely tied to the philosophy department. Philosopher William James introduced concepts of psychology as a new meaning of developing a system to understand education. From 1874 to 1875, James began teaching psychology and formed the first psychology laboratory in America. James continued to lecture on this "new psychology" and formed the book Talks to Teachers on Psychology, considered the first widely accepted psychology textbook. In 1878, G. Stanley Hall, a graduate student of James at Harvard, was the first student to receive a PhD in psychology in the United States. [1] [2] Starting in 1892, Hugo Münsterberg became a professor of psychology and directed the psychological laboratory. [3]

During the early 20th century, Harvard's psychological studies and research were still under the philosophical department. A psychological clinic opened in 1927 under the direction of Morton Prince, who would be followed by Henry A. Murray beginning in 1928. Edwin Boring, with the approval of Harvard President James B. Conant, helped establish a separate psychology department in 1934 that became completely autonomous in 1936. The formation of a department apart from the philosophy program allowed more independent research in psychology and a greater focus on experimental psychology. [4] [5]

When Gordon Allport held the chair of the psychology department, the Faculty of Arts and Sciences allowed for the formation of the Department of Social Relations in 1946, which became an interdisciplinary collaboration among the academic areas of anthropology, sociology and psychology. [6] With this division, the psychology department was left to exclusively conduct experimental research, while the social relations department focused on social, anthropological and clinical research. Training for clinical psychology was discontinued at the psychology department in 1967. The interdisciplinary social relations department began to dissipate with the formation of the Department of Sociology in 1970. Still, in 1972 the Department of Psychology and Social Relations recombined the areas of psychology for a few years. Only in 1986 did psychology become completely independent of sociology, when the psychology department acquired its current name, the Department of Psychology. [7]

Academics

Undergraduate

Undergraduate students may pursue psychological studies and complete their bachelors in the General, Cognitive Neuroscience, and Evolutionary Psychology or Cognitive Science track. Foundational courses are offered in cognitive neuroscience, social psychology, developmental psychology, Psychopathology, and neurobiology of behavior. [8] Advanced courses include specific topics in psychology, and classes in collaboration with other departments and disciplines. [9] Students may complete a two-semester thesis writing course in their senior year under the supervision of a department faculty. [10]

In 2022, Harvard College awarded 66 bachelor's degrees in psychology, making the subject the third most popular social science concentration after economics and government and tied with social studies. Psychology majors comprised approximately 6.5% of the degrees awarded that year. [11]

Graduate

Graduate students may complete a Ph.D. in psychology in four different areas: Clinical Science, Social, Developmental, Cognition, Brain, and Behavior (CBB). [12] The department consists of two tracks: clinical science and common curriculum, of which the latter includes Social Psychology, Developmental Psychology, and Cognition, Brain, and Behavior (CBB). Students may only complete a master's degree as part of the research-focused Ph.D. program, which typically lasts four to five years. Graduates may go on to follow an academic career or work in the government, consulting firms, tech companies, social service agencies, or the medical field. [13]

There are currently 69 graduate students who are organized according to different laboratory units (approximately 25) under the supervision of individual professors. The labs with the most Ph.D. students include clinical psychology, affective neuroscience and development, youth mental health, and Computational Cognitive Neuroscience. The department also has 60 postdocs, fellows and research associates. [14] During the 1970s, the psychology department awarded, on average, between 20 and 30 doctorate degrees per year, which decreased to an average of between 10 and 20 degrees per year from the 1980s to the present. The department awarded ten doctorate degrees in 2022. [15]

Research

Research at the Department of Psychology is divided into four programs: [16]

Clinical Science research focuses particularly on severe psychopathology and research in abnormal psychology to further the treatment of mental disorders. Key research areas include various mental health disorders and their symptoms (e. g. emotional and thought disorders, schizophrenia, depression, borderline personality disorder, anxiety disorders, self-harm, and suicide). Research also attempts to evaluate possible contributing factors and predictors of mental health problems, such as stigma against minorities, psychosocial elements, or environmental factors in child development. [17]

Cognition, Brain, and Behavior (CBB) studies the psychology of mental processes (e.g., memory, attention, perception, learning, language, etc.). CBB also addresses social cognition, moral decision-making, aging, and neurological disorders. The research covers human and non-human subjects and relies on functional neuroimaging techniques, online surveys, and computer-based behavioral tests. [18]

In developmental psychology, students and professors at Harvard research early developments of infants and children to gain insight into the human mind and nature. Research areas include knowledge of objects, persons, language, music, space, number, morality, and social categories. Research is conducted by the Laboratory for Developmental Studies. [19]

Social Psychology studies the psychology of individual and group behavior, emotions, and thoughts in social and cultural contexts, social cognition, and modes of social perception and knowledge. The research takes an interdisciplinary approach, incorporating cognitive neuroscience, developmental psychology, and other fields of economics, sociology, business studies, political studies, medicine, and law. [20]

Rankings

According to the QS World University Rankings by Subject in Psychology, Harvard University placed 1st worldwide from 2020 to 2023, ahead of Stanford University, the University of Oxford, and the University of Cambridge. [21] Based on the National Research Council ranking in the US, Harvard took 6th place among Ph.D. programs and 7th place for undergraduate studies. [22] [23] Times Higher Education World University Rankings in psychology placed Harvard in 5th place in 2023, 4th in 2022 and 2018, 6th in 2021 and 2020, and 7th in 2019. [24] According to US News Reports, Harvard University tied 3rd place with UCLA and the University of Michigan for the Best Psychology Schools of graduate schools in 2022 and behind Stanford University and the University of California, Berkeley. [25]

Contributions to psychology

One of Harvard's most well-known psychologists was B. F. Skinner. [26] [27] Considered the father of behaviorism, Skinner developed a form of radical behaviorism, which claims that environmental stimuli and experiential factors play a significant role in determining behavior through positive and negative reinforcements (rewards and punishments). [28] Skinner's approach attempted to scientifically control the study of behavior rather than analyzing internal mental processes. [29] As part of the experimental analysis of behavior, Skinner invented the operant conditioning chamber to study animal behavior. [30] Skinner's approach influenced the practice of psychology, laboratory applications, and educational and psychotherapeutic applications of behavior. [31] [32] [33] In the Skinnerian tradition, Richard Herrnstein developed the matching law, in which choices are distributed according to rates of reinforcement for making the choices. [34]

The field of personality psychology can be traced back to Harvard psychologist Gordon Allport, who developed values scales and a personality theory based on traits that make up a person's identity. [35] Rejecting psychoanalysis and behaviorism, Allport developed a trait theory that tried to identify patterns of behavior, thought, and emotion and classified traits into Cardinal, Central, and Secondary traits according to their influence on behavior. [36] Allport was influential in conceptualizing other topics, such as rumors, [37] prejudice, [38] discrimination, [39] self-esteem, [40] and religion. [41] [42] [43]

Harvard psychology has played a part in the development of cognitive psychology. George Armitage Miller is considered one of the founders of psycholinguistics and was an important figure in the development of cognitive psychology in reaction to behaviorism in the late 1970s. Miller is known for shifting psychology into the realm of mental processes and merging this new approach with linguistics, computation theory, and information theory. [44] [45] Miller made contributions to the area of working memory, developing the term chunk to explain how individuals deal with limitations of memory and providing an approximation of the limit of working memory in his paper, "The Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two: Some Limits on Our Capacity for Processing Information". Miller also coined Miller's Law: "In order to understand what another person is saying, you must assume it is true and try to imagine what it could be true of." [46] [47] Another Harvard psychologist Jerome Bruner, who was also part of the so-called cognitive revolution, contributed to cognitive learning theory in educational psychology. [48] In recent years, Steven Pinker has been an advocate of the computational theory of mind and evolutionary psychology and has provided evolutionary explanations for the human mind, language, and behavior. [49] [50]

Several Harvard psychologists have contributed to the area of developmental psychology, including research on long-term developments, educational theory, language acquisition, and cognitive psychology. Jerome Bruner conducted much of his research on developmental psychology and educational theory, formulating a theory of cognitive development, which categorized modes of internal representation into enactive (action-based), iconic (image-based), and symbolic (language-based). [51] [52] Bruner is also noted for formulating the spiral curriculum and scaffolding (restricting the freedom in the learning process to make it more manageable). [53] [54] Harvard psychologist Roger Brown is considered the father of developmental psycholinguistics, [55] while Erik Eriksen is known for his theory on the psychological development of humans. [56] More recently, Jerome Kagan was a key pioneer in developmental psychology, focusing his research on temperaments through longitudinal studies. [57] Elizabeth Spelke has developed a theory of core knowledge that infants possess innate cognitive systems or "core knowledge systems" to form new cognitive abilities. [58] [59] [60] Susan Carey has introduced concepts such as fast mapping, extended mapping, Quinan bootstrapping, and folk theorization to explain learning processes in children. [61] [62] [63] [64]

Harvard psychologists have also made contributions to social psychology and positive psychology. In the 20th century, Roger Brown did some of the first research on memory phenomena of the tip of the tongue and flashbulb memory. [65] [66] David McClelland developed the Need theory that explains how needs for achievement, affiliation, and power impact behavior in organizations and managements. [67] While at Harvard, Stanley Milgram conducted the so-called "small-world experiment" to examine the average path lengths for social networks and notably found that human society is a small-world network with short path-lengths. [68] [69] Mahzarin Banaji is noted for having introduced the concept of implicit bias, in which implicit and explicit memories are applied to social constructs. [70] In moral psychology, Joshua Greene was the first to propose the dual process theory, which stipulates that moral judgments contain fast and slow reasoning processes. [71] In positive psychology, Daniel Gilbert has developed the notion of affective forecasting to predict one's affect in the future and fundamental attribution error. [72] [73] Ellen Langer is noted for coining the term illusion of control and is influential in research on aging and mindfulness. [74] [75] [76]

Educational psychology is the branch of psychology concerned with the scientific study of human learning. The study of learning processes, from both cognitive and behavioral perspectives, allows researchers to understand individual differences in intelligence, cognitive development, affect, motivation, self-regulation, and self-concept, as well as their role in learning. The field of educational psychology relies heavily on quantitative methods, including testing and measurement, to enhance educational activities related to instructional design, classroom management, and assessment, which serve to facilitate learning processes in various educational settings across the lifespan.

Psychology is the study of mind and behavior. Its subject matter includes the behavior of humans and nonhumans, both conscious and unconscious phenomena, and mental processes such as thoughts, feelings, and motives. Psychology is an academic discipline of immense scope, crossing the boundaries between the natural and social sciences. Biological psychologists seek an understanding of the emergent properties of brains, linking the discipline to neuroscience. As social scientists, psychologists aim to understand the behavior of individuals and groups.

George Armitage Miller was an American psychologist who was one of the founders of cognitive psychology, and more broadly, of cognitive science. He also contributed to the birth of psycholinguistics. Miller wrote several books and directed the development of WordNet, an online word-linkage database usable by computer programs. He authored the paper, "The Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two," in which he observed that many different experimental findings considered together reveal the presence of an average limit of seven for human short-term memory capacity. This paper is frequently cited by psychologists and in the wider culture. Miller won numerous awards, including the National Medal of Science.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Edward C. Tolman</span> American psychologist (1886–1959)

Edward Chace Tolman was an American psychologist and a professor of psychology at the University of California, Berkeley. Through Tolman's theories and works, he founded what is now a branch of psychology known as purposive behaviorism. Tolman also promoted the concept known as latent learning first coined by Blodgett (1929). A Review of General Psychology survey, published in 2002, ranked Tolman as the 45th most cited psychologist of the 20th century.

Behaviorism is a systematic approach to understand the behavior of humans and other animals. It assumes that behavior is either a reflex evoked by the pairing of certain antecedent stimuli in the environment, or a consequence of that individual's history, including especially reinforcement and punishment contingencies, together with the individual's current motivational state and controlling stimuli. Although behaviorists generally accept the important role of heredity in determining behavior, they focus primarily on environmental events. The cognitive revolution of the late 20th century largely replaced behaviorism as an explanatory theory with cognitive psychology, which unlike behaviorism examines internal mental states.

Theoretical psychology is concerned with theoretical and philosophical aspects of psychology. It is an interdisciplinary field with a wide scope of study.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Gordon Allport</span> American psychologist (1897–1967)

Gordon Willard Allport was an American psychologist. Allport was one of the first psychologists to focus on the study of the personality, and is often referred to as one of the founding figures of personality psychology. He contributed to the formation of values scales and rejected both a psychoanalytic approach to personality, which he thought often was too deeply interpretive, and a behavioral approach, which he thought did not provide deep enough interpretations from their data. Instead of these popular approaches, he developed an eclectic theory based on traits. He emphasized the uniqueness of each individual, and the importance of the present context, as opposed to history, for understanding the personality.

The cognitive revolution was an intellectual movement that began in the 1950s as an interdisciplinary study of the mind and its processes, from which emerged a new field known as cognitive science. The preexisting relevant fields were psychology, linguistics, computer science, anthropology, neuroscience, and philosophy. The approaches used were developed within the then-nascent fields of artificial intelligence, computer science, and neuroscience. In the 1960s, the Harvard Center for Cognitive Studies and the Center for Human Information Processing at the University of California, San Diego were influential in developing the academic study of cognitive science. By the early 1970s, the cognitive movement had surpassed behaviorism as a psychological paradigm. Furthermore, by the early 1980s the cognitive approach had become the dominant line of research inquiry across most branches in the field of psychology.

In psychology, mentalism refers to those branches of study that concentrate on perception and thought processes, for example: mental imagery, consciousness and cognition, as in cognitive psychology. The term mentalism has been used primarily by behaviorists who believe that scientific psychology should focus on the structure of causal relationships to reflexes and operant responses or on the functions of behavior.

The Department of Social Relations for Interdisciplinary Social Science Studies, more commonly known as the "Department of Social Relations", was an interdisciplinary collaboration among three of the social science departments at Harvard University beginning in 1946. Originally, the program was headquartered in Emerson Hall at Harvard before moving to William James Hall in 1965. While the name "Social Relations" is often associated with the program's long-time chair and guiding spirit, sociologist Talcott Parsons, many major figures of mid-20th-century social science also numbered among the program's faculty, including psychologists Gordon Allport, Jerome Bruner, Roger Brown, and Henry Murray (personality); anthropologists Clyde and Florence Kluckhohn, John and Beatrice Whiting, Evon Z. Vogt ; and sociologist Alex Inkeles. Other prominent scholars, such as Jerome Kagan and Ezra Vogel belonged to the department early in their careers before it split. Many of the department's graduate students also went on to be major figures in US social sciences during the latter part of the twentieth century; their work tends towards strong interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary approaches.
