History

The journal was established by Johns Hopkins psychologist James Mark Baldwin in 1904, [3] immediately after he had bought out James McKeen Cattell's share of Psychological Review , which the two had established ten years earlier. Baldwin gave the editorship of both journals to John B. Watson, when scandal forced him to resign his position at Johns Hopkins in 1920. Ownership of the Bulletin passed to Howard C. Warren, who eventually donated it to the American Psychological Association, which continues to own it to the present day.
