“…At the 5th ICP held in Rome in 1905, Y. Motora made a presentation under the title, “The Concept of Ego in the Oriental Philosophy.” At this ICP, Y. Motora was chosen as a member of the International Congress Committee, consisting of 76 members, with Yasusaburo Sakaki, a psychiatrist. They were the first committee members chosen from outside Europe and North America (Rosenzweig, Holtzman, Sabourin, & B é langer, , p. 38). Motora was succeeded by M. Matsumoto as a committee member at the 8th ICP at Groningen, the Netherlands, in 1926.…”

The purpose of this article is to provide information about Japan and its psychology in advance of the 31st International Congress of Psychology (ICP), to be held in Yokohama, Japan, in 2016. The article begins with the introduction of the Japanese Psychological Association (JPA), the hosting organization of the ICP 2016, and the Japanese Union of Psychological Associations consisting of 51 associations/societies, of which the JPA is a member. This is followed by a brief description of a history of psychology of Japan, with emphasis on the variation in our approach to psychology in three different periods, that is, the pre- and post-Pacific War periods, and the post-1960 period. Next, the international contributions of Japanese psychology/psychologists are discussed from the point of view of their visibility. Education and training in psychology in Japanese universities is discussed with a final positive remark about the long-awaited enactment of the Accredited Psychologist Law in September, 2015.

“…Rather than individual members, the Union is organized around national organizations of psychologists (currently 70 national societies; IUPsyS, 2008). A list of its congresses and accomplishments over the first 50 years of the International Union is recorded in a commemorative volume (Rosenzweig, Holtzman, Sabourin, & Belanger, 2000). Each national organization selected to host the congress also prepares a congress programme and a book of abstracts, subsequently published as a double issue of the International Journal of Psychology .…”

Psychology through international congresses: Differences between regions, countries, and congresses

2009

A published database of presentations from the seven most recent International Congresses of Applied Psychology (ICAPs) was compared to a similar but unpublished database (Adair, Anguas-Plata, Unik, & Radons, 2009) on the International Congresses of Psychology (ICPs) for the years 1996-2004. Analyses revealed phenomena characteristic of attendance at both international congresses: Participation rates spike dramatically for host countries; less dramatic regional surges in participation occur when the congress is held in a neighbouring country. Psychologists from 117 different countries participated in the seven recent congresses (ICAP and ICP) from 1994 to 2006. Overall ICP was double the size of ICAP, and represented a larger set of countries at each of its congresses. Regardless of location, most participants at both congresses came from the same 11 economically advantaged and seven majority-world countries. Congress presentations are dispersed across a much larger number of countries than are journal publications. The USA, for example, had modest 14.4% (ICAP) and 11.6% (ICP) presentation rates, much smaller than its majority share of publications (Adair, 2009 ). By contrast, the USA had the greater share of invited addresses at both ICAP (33.7%) and ICP (28.9%) congresses. Nonetheless, the majority-world countries contributing to both ICAP and ICP are clearly indicative of where the discipline is gaining strength and importance to international psychology. The emergence of Iran as a new leading national contributor to the two most recent international congresses, and the rise in the proportion of presentations by majority-world psychologists at ICAPs from only about one in five to more than one of every three presentations in recent congresses are findings consistent with Zakaria's (2008) analysis of changes taking place in the world. Within international congresses, certainly, the "rise of the rest" is changing the face of international psychology.

“…It is important to remember that at the same time as the SIP was founded, the International Union of Psychological Science (IUPsyS) was created in July 1951 (Holtzman, 1976;Rosenzweig & Holtzman, 1993;Rosenzweig, Holtzman, Sabourin, & Bélanger, 2000). IUPsyS is one of the most representative psychological organizations in the world, responsible for editing the International Journal of Psychology, organizing the International Congresses of Psychology and promoting psychology as a science and profession globally.…”
