Yuzero Motora was the founder of psychology in Japan, acting as an organizer, executive, and administrator of psychological science and practice and as a vocal link between psychology and the larger philosophical and pedagogical community. He studied under Professor G. Stanley Hall and earned his PhD at Johns Hopkins University. An article coauthored by Hall and Motora was published in the first issue of The American Journal of Psychology. Findings presented herein are based partially on the biographical records, articles, and books written by Motora and partially on Motora’s personal documents and course curriculum from Johns Hopkins University. We focus on Motora’s life and work with Hall at Johns Hopkins, the research described in the article coauthored with Hall and the impact that it had, and the influence of Hall on Motora’s career after he returned to Japan.

Big data is a commanding presence in psychology today, yet it also has an extensive history within the discipline. This article outlines shifting frameworks of big data from the earliest years of scientific psychology. From the 1880s, American Psychological Association founder G. Stanley Hall’s extensive undertakings with questionnaires were a key means of collecting mass data. Although these efforts produced descriptive data that were difficult to manage, later innovations in scaled questionnaires by psychologists L. L. Thurstone and Rensis Likert rendered mass data numerical and therefore more amenable to synthesis. In the context of ongoing and ever more massive big data initiatives in psychology, this article raises questions about the historical and current place of the individual in big data.

In the conclusion of the book, Hall expressed a tangible sense of personal anger against this form of discrimination.5 His stirring call for a better understanding of the aging process anticipated the development of gerontology, and his critique of the marginalization of the elderly still resonates today.

Recent studies of G. Stanley Hall's opus, \"Adolescence: Its Psychology and Its Relations to Physiology, Anthropology, Sociology, Sex, Crime, Religion and Education\" (1904), have highlighted one of the book's most problematic implications: if young people were thought to be the developmental analogues of \"primitive\" or \"savage,\" then the treatment of young people might be \"influenced by colonialist discourse, with its racist and evolutionist bases\" (Lesko 1996). As Stephen Jay Gould has written, the theory of recapitulation--which rendered young people and members of the \"lower races\" evolutionary equivalents--provided \"an arsenal of racist arguments supplied by science to justify slavery and imperialism\" (Gould 1977, 126). Recapitulation was central to Hall's work, and virtually no theme in \"Adolescence\" was explored without its application. This prompts a troubling question: If Hall's work on child development was based on a racial theory that legitimized the oppression of colonized peoples, did it also justify the subjugation of young people? If so, this was clearly not Hall's intent. Instead, \"Adolescence\" was published in an effort to liberate young people from conditions that he likened to those faced by colonial peoples. Rather than seeing Hall as one of the most important (and radical) advocates of children's rights, however, historians have generally written him off as a mystical crackpot (Kliebard 1995, 38). In this article, the author critiques the views forwarded by Hall in his article, \"Adolescence: Its Psychology And Its Relations to Physiology, Anthropology, Sociology, Sex, Crime, Religion and Education\".

The CMHF is a national charitable organization that has honoured the accomplishments of Canadian medical professionals since 1994. An arms-length selection committee selects up to six laureates. Anyone can submit a nomination, said Lissa Foster, executive director of the CMHF, but it's important to nominate individuals who inspire people to take up careers in health services. \"The selection committee can only choose from what they have in front of them, so the strength of the entire [Judith G. Hall] is built on the quality and quantity of the nominations we get.\" The six laureates for 2015: Dr. Julio Montaner is internationally recognized for his contributions to new approaches to HIV and AIDS treatment. He led an international team that tested the viability of an innovative drug cocktail called highly active antiretroviral therapy, which helped to increase survival rates for people with HIV worldwide. Montaner also pioneered the idea of treatment as prevention, which was incorporated into WHO guidelines in 2013. He is a professor of medicine at UBC, founding codirector of the Canadian HIV Trials Network and director of the BC Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS.
