  • Title: Edwin G. Boring: The Historian's Path in the Pages of The American Journal of Psychology.
    Author: Gallagher SR.
    Journal: Am J Psychol; ; 130(2):149-162. PubMed ID: 29461713.
    Abstract:
    Although he is best known for his classic textbook, A History of Experimental Psychology, Edwin Garrigues Boring published dozens of articles in The American Journal of Psychology and used its various formats to guide the discipline in the early 20th century. This report reviews a small sample of his publications, including obituaries, notes, and experimental articles, and presents them in historical and biographical context. A central objective is to show how Boring shared the values of his structuralist training with the emerging American schools and how time allowed him to reconsider his approach to history and the legacy of his iconic mentor, Edward Bradford Titchener.
