Book excerpt: The Center for Population Research has a deep and continuing interest in encouraging population research by psychologists and in educating psychologists in population. This book delineates population-psychology in the process of development from very small beginnings in 1969-70. It demonstrates how psychologists have developed interests in population because of its great importance to the United States and all the other countries in the world, as well as because of the relevance of population to psychology and vice versa. Psychologists are using their backgrounds, theories, and methodologies to study significant population issues and problems. The papers in this book represent pioneering efforts from 1972 to 1975. While not covering all the kinds of population research being done by psychologists, they do present an excellent picture of the range, scope, and diversity of the significant work being done. It is hoped that the articles in this book will stimulate more psychologists to become involved in population research and inspire those now in the field to still greater efforts.
