American Journal of Psychology

The American Journal of Psychology is a significant American periodical founded in 1887 by G. Stanley Hall. It was the first of its kind in America and the second of major importance outside of Germany. Hall, a pivotal figure in the development of psychology in the United States, also founded the Pedagogical Seminary (now the Journal of Genetic Psychology) in 1893, focusing on child and educational psychology. The American Psychological Association (APA), founded in 1892, is the largest professional organization for psychologists in the U.S. and globally, dedicated to advancing psychology and promoting public health and welfare. Another publication, Psychology Today, a general-interest magazine, was established in 1967 to make psychological research accessible to the public.123
