Boundary -work in United States psychology: A study of three interdisciplinary programs

Between 1970 and 2000 scientists from three interdisciplinary programs---evolutionary psychology, cognitive science, and chaos theory---contributed to changing U.S. psychology\u27s disciplinary boundaries. These interdisciplinary scientists brought about this change through their conceptual, material, and social practices. Psychologists used boundary-work as a means to control the influx of these various practices. Boundary-work connotes activities that promote scientists\u27 epistemic authority in society. Boundary-work also serves to demarcate a science\u27s particular collection of knowledge from other collections. Through their boundary-work activities, various psychologists resisted some of the practices of these interdisciplinary scientists while making accommodations for other types of practices. These resistances and accommodations illustrate the ways in which psychologists conveyed their epistemic authority and demarcated their discipline\u27s boundaries between these three decades. The purpose of my dissertation is to describe psychologists\u27 boundary-work in reaction to the introduction of these interdisciplinary programs\u27 practices between 1970 and 2000. First, I present an overview of psychology\u27s complex disciplinary boundaries. I then use the history of psychology and sociology of scientific knowledge literature to describe the nature of boundary-work activities. Next, I present the foundational components and a brief history of each interdisciplinary program. Fourth, I outline each program\u27s conceptual, material, and social practices. Lastly, I discuss psychologists\u27 resistances and accommodations to each interdisciplinary program\u27s practices with reference to how they affected psychology\u27s disciplinary boundaries. My results indicate that certain psychologists most often resisted evolutionary psychologists\u27, cognitive scientists\u27, and chaos theorists\u27 conceptual practices. Psychologists\u27 resistances seemed ineffective in preventing these conceptual practices from entering the discipline and did not stop other psychologists from using them. Accommodations occurred for all types of practices for all three programs, indicating that psychology\u27s disciplinary boundaries are relatively permeable. I argue that psychologists made accommodations for these practices to increase their epistemic authority within the scientific community and throughout society. Finally, I discuss the advantages of writing psychology\u27s history through an examination of psychologists\u27 boundary-work
