HUMOR-INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HUMOR RESEARCH

日本心理学协会(JPA)成立于1927年4月7日，是一个学术组织。作为日本历史最悠久的全国性心理协会，我们通过包括学术研究人员和专业从业者在内的会员基础，为日本心理活动的发展做出了贡献。2011年4月1日，经内阁办公室批准成立公益法人协会。截至2012年3月底，我们的会员总数为7411人。自成立以来，我们继续举办学术会议，出版会员名录和主要学术期刊《日本心理学杂志》。我们还出版了一本英文期刊《日本心理学研究》和一本具有启发性和知识性的杂志《心理学世界》。我们的其他活动包括认证心理学家、公开讲座、公开研讨会、为注册心理学家举办的工作坊，以及向杰出的研究人员颁发奖项。作为我们致力于国际交流的一部分，自1951年第13届国际心理学大会在斯德哥尔摩召开以来，我们一直是国际心理科学联盟(lUPsyS)的国家成员。1972年在东京举办了第20届国际心理学大会，1990年在京都举办了第22届国际应用心理学大会，都取得了很大的成功。第31届国际心理学大会(ICP2016)将于2016年7月24日至29日在横滨举行。在国内，我们通过与日本心理协会联合会的其他心理相关协会的交流，探讨教育课程和认证问题。
