Psychology in Japan Principles : Rules and standards associated with the school of thought. Before 1900, Japanese psychology was a hodgepodge of many different religious psychological/theological perspectives (Buddhism, Confucianism, Shintoism, etc). Cerca de 1900, Psychology in Japan grew into a science not too different from what it did in the Western world. They follow the same rules of experimentation due to the roots of Japanese psychology starting in the Western world (Kido, 1961). Fukari was the pinnacle of academic persecution due to his book Clairvoyance and Thoughtgrapgy and its lack of scientific procedures and verification (Sato & Sato, 2005). In the end, Japanese psychology maintained a scientific soundness similar to Western countries. Values Psychology in Japan has two sides: the first is the ethnic side in which the study of the metaphysics and mental philosophy that existed from long before Motora and his introduction of a more Westernized version of psychology that was introduced to Japan upon returning from his Western studies (Sato & Sato, 2005). In the early 1900s, the early form of psychology was eventually flushed out of higher education and towards the more favorable scientific-based Western psychology. For this reason, many of the renowned early psychologists from Japan studied in the Western world before returning to Japan, and they have values that are very similar to Western psychology. Subject Matter Motora primarily focused on three areas of study: Psychophysics (mainly on attention and perception), mental philosophy, and clinical/educational psychology, and is considered a pioneer of cognitive psychology (Sato & Sato, 2005). After Motora, many of his students pursued different schools of thought: Matsumoto studied experimental psychology, Tsukahara studied child psychology, and Kakise studied perception (response time). Hayami introduced behavioralism to Japan, and Ueno and Otsuki expanded upon the school of thought in Japan (Iwahara and Osamu, 1963). Not all researchers have moved on to the Western Conception of psychology. Kato (2005) researched the relationship between Zen and psychology. Some still seek cultural perspectives in psychology and pursue the Gestaltist-inspired phenomenological approach, which would factor in all the pre-1900 influences. Research Methods and Other Applied Methodologies : While Motora was still at the university, an abandoned building was transformed into a lab with two time rooms, a sound room, a silent room, a
dark room, a vision room, a battery room, a workshop, a library, and a lecture room. Matsumoto was the first to use a sound room in an experiment. The experiments were heavily focused on different perceptions and sensory understanding. There were other findings from Motoras students, but almost all used Western ideology and instruments(Sato & Sato, 2005). References Iwahara, S., & Fujita, O. (1963). Behaviorism in Japan.
