Instinct has been one of the more contentious concepts throughout the history of psychology and social psychology. Broadly defined, instinct is considered innate, patterned behavior for living organisms that does not require learning or experience. Almost all early psychologists engaged in the study of instincts, and many attempted to classify them. One of the debates that emerged was whether there is a simple dichotomy between instinct and reason, with animals endowed with instinct for survival but only humans with the ability to rely on reason. With more influence from Darwin’s evolutionary theory, however, the idea that instincts were modifiable and a common trait for humans and animals became accepted. This also led to the idea that human instincts could be understood by examining the instincts of animals and the mental development of children. With the arrival of behaviorism, the concept of instinct began to fall out of favor altogether, and all behaviors were attributed to learning or conditioning. More recently, evolutionary psychologists have reclaimed the notion of instinct, although the understanding of this concept still varies and has an uncertain fate in the discipline.

An in-depth look at 16 textbooks in child psychology was made. One notable outcome was 96 journal articles published prior to 1950 were cited in three or more instances. Some elaboration is provided for 36 of them. Second, these articles are found in a number of journals, though two dominate. Third, there are “classical” authors, persons who have made major contributions to the literature on developmental psychology. A fourth finding was that reverence for the past and reverence for bibliography in general varies widely in the reviewed textbooks. Finally, certain texts appear to include more of the major articles or “classics” than do others. Suggestions for further research are made.

A parallel is drawn between the geological principle of uniformitarianism and the presuppositions of contemporary behavior modification. The uniformitarian principle has four main aspects: (1) a concern with ultimate origins or ends is futile; (2) any change in topography is gradual rather than sudden, at least in terms of underlying events; (3) the forces that have effected change in the past continue to be operative today; and (4) the proper study of any phenomenon begins with its present state and the forces currently affecting it. Psychological examples of uniformitarian thinking are given for individual and for aggregate behavior.

We first offer a brief review of the history of cognitive consistency theories in social psychology. After promising beginnings as an outgrowth of Gestalt theory, early consistency theories failed to yield a general account of the mechanisms by which attitudes are formed and decisions are made. However over the past decade the principles underlying consistency theories have been revived in the form of connectionist models of constraint satisfaction. We then review experimental work on complex legal decision making that illustrates how constraint satisfaction mechanisms can cause coherence shifts, thereby transforming ambiguous inputs into coherent decisions.

Since the United Nations was formed by 51 nations on June 26, 1945, psychology organizations were slow to register with the UN as nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in the past 75 years. This essay briefly describes the four-stage history of psychology NGOs at the United Nations, which have grown far more active and coordinated since 2004.
