AB The Annual Review of Psychology, which has been published since
   1950, provides a useful profile of post-World War II
   developments in American psychology. In 1979, Gilgen and
   Hultman identified the authorities and subject matter areas
   emphasized in the volumes for the 1950 through 1974 period. The
   present study extends that investigation through 1998. Based on
   the earlier analyses, American psychology during the third
   quarter of the century was characterized by; a strong interest
   in research methodologies and psychometrics, Hullian and then
   Skinnerian perspectives on learning and conditioning, animal
   research, the perceptual theory of James J. Gibson, Gestalt
   inspired social psychology. and the emerging perspective of
   Carl Rogers on personality and psychopathology. The present
   work shows that, while psychometrics and methodological matters
   remained salient, many American psychologists shifted attention
   to study cognitive processes especially as manifested in social
   and developmental contexts. Interest in gender and women's
   studies, gerontological questions, and psychological aspects of
   both health and sport also accelerated, and many more women
   were highly (very frequently) cited during the final quarter of
   the century than juring the earlier post-World War II years.
