- W2022696540 abstract "Abstract This article addresses the question of when and where the decision was made form the Canadian Psychological (CPA). To be sure, a number of scholars have already examined this question. What is interesting, however, is that they have provided ambiguous answers. purpose of this article is three-fold: First, document the sequence of events that led the decision form the CPA; second, highlight some of the ambiguities contained in the literature regarding the beginnings of the Association; and third, explain how and why these ambiguities may have arisen. article illuminates a number of historiographical issues of importance for those writing the history of Canadian psychology. This article examines the founding of the Canadian Psychological (CPA). Specifically, it addresses the question of when and where the decision was made form the CPA. To be sure, a number of important scholars have already examined this question, if only in passing (e.g., English, 1992; Ferguson, 1992; Wright, 1974). What is interesting, however, is that they have provided ambiguous answers. purpose of this article is three-fold: First, document the sequence of events that culminated in the decision form the CPA; second, highlight some of the ambiguities contained in the secondary source literature regarding the beginnings of the Association; and third, explain how and why these ambiguities may have arisen in the first place. article illuminates a number of historiographical issues of critical importance for those writing the history of the CPA and the history of Canadian psychology more generally. BEGINNINGS OF THE CPA summary that follows is sketchy for there is very little in the way of original primary source material regarding the establishment of the CPA. paucity of material is partly due the fact that George Humphrey, the first Secretary of the Association, kept poor records (Bernhardt, 1961).1 It is also due the fact that what records were kept went with Humphrey when he left Canada for England shortly after the Second World War (Humphrey, 1959; Inglis, 1982).2,3 What follows is based on all the material I have been able obtain from the National Archives of Canada, the University of Toronto Archives, newspapers, and the secondary source literature. It is possible that there are still papers buried in someone's drawers that will one day see the light of day and perhaps further elucidate the events of this period. sequence of events that led the decision form the CPA began in 1938. In the spring of that year, a questionnaire was distributed Canadian psychologists to ascertain their views on the question of forming a Canadian Association (Organization of a, 1938, p. 1).4 The response was very favourable but the matter seemed warrant further discussion (Organization of a, 1938, p. 1). American for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) was holding its summer meeting in Ottawa, Ontario, June 27 July 2, 1938 (Moulton, 1938a, 1938b). With a considerable number of Canadian psychologists planning attend (see American for the Advancement of Science, 1938), a dinner meeting was arranged for Wednesday, June 29, 1938 at 6:30 p.m. at the Chateau Laurier for those interested in partaking in a Discussion on the subject of the organization of a Canadian Psychological Association (AAAS, 1938, p. 56). dinner meeting was held under the Chairmanship of Edward Alexander Bott of the University of Toronto (Organization of a, 1938). Altogether some 40 people attended this first meeting (Organization of a, 1938). Among those present were psychologists5 employed in various academic institutions. They included Sperrin Noah Fulton Chant of the University of Toronto and George Humphrey of Queen's University (Organization of a, 1938). There were some American psychologists who attended this meeting as well. …" @default.
