Развитие предметной области
Establishment and development of the subject area
Psychology established itself as a scientific discipline in the last third of the 19th century. During this time, the University of Leipzig set up its first laboratory to investigate psychological phenomena. Numerous universities then set up institutes for psychology and a large number of textbooks on the subject were published. In the 20th century, various basic currents in psychology emerged, including psychoanalysis founded by Sigmund Freud and behaviorism, which focuses on behavior analysis. Today, psychology is divided into numerous subject areas.
On the way to becoming an independent subject of study
Business psychology as a focus within general psychology developed as early as the beginning of the 20th century. The first textbook appeared in 1912 under the title "Psychology and Business Life". Within this focus, research focused on the analysis of economic behavior in private households and companies, but also on work psychology aspects such as employee selection and employee satisfaction. Since the labor market signaled a need for interdisciplinary trained employees, independent courses in business psychology were designed and established from the mid-1990s.
