Foreword

Abstract

This article looks at the interest in the extension of the application of psychology to various fields of human activity, in particular, the realm of business. However, the growing impetus of this movement may be observed in various quarters; and the workers in this field are clamoring for more effective methods of diagnosing character and intellectual equipment. This article notes that there already exist a number of journals and a number of associations which have been established to serve the interests of psychology. But none of the existing journals devote themselves to the task of gathering together the results of workers in the various fields of applied psychology, or of bringing these results into relation with pure psychology. In view of this, the Journal of Applied Psychology is being launched. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
