References

1 A more comprehensive outline of the relation between psychology and political science will be presented by the writer as a chapter in “The Inter-relations of the Social Sciences,” edited by W. F. Ogburn and A. Goldenweiser.

2 The entire situation necessary to render this act a “political” stimulus might be regarded, in terms of the modern Gestaltpsychologie as a “pattern” or “structure” which is necessary before any of its parts can have significance, and which is therefore in a sense more real than any of its parts. The behavioristic analysis which follows shows another way out of the difficulty.

3 The word “with” is here used in the sense with which we say a man lifts a stone “with” his hand.

4 The militaristic consequences of this fallacy have been discussed by the writer in an article entitled ‘The Psychology of Nationalism”, Harper's Magazine, August, 1927 Google Scholar.
