John B. Watson is a significant figure in the history of psychology. Although some scholars contest the thesis that he was the creator of the behaviorist movement, he was undoubtedly a great popularizer of behaviorism, and many of the psychologists who proposed new varieties of behaviorism admit that they were directly influenced by him. Most psychologists, and probably all behavior analysts, read and heard about Watson at some point in their apprenticeship. Nevertheless, Watson's works are usually misunderstood, mainly because most of his publications are unknown to the majority of psychologists and historians of psychology. The publication of a more complete and precise bibliography may help to solve this problem. This article presents an updated bibliography of John B. Watson's published works; it contains 209 entries, including 50 new ones compared with the last, and at that point the most developed, bibliography available. The bibliography we present here is offered to assist researchers, historians, and other scholars in taking a broader view of Watson's behaviorism and its impact on academic and lay audiences.
约翰·B·华生是心理学史上的重要人物。尽管一些学者对他是行为主义运动创始人这一论点提出质疑,但他无疑是行为主义的伟大推广者,许多提出新行为主义变体的心理学家都承认受到了他的直接影响。大多数心理学家,可能所有行为分析师,在其学徒生涯的某个阶段都读过或听说过华生。然而,华生的著作通常被误解,主要是因为大多数心理学家和心理学史学家对他的大部分出版物并不了解。一份更完整、精确的书目可能有助于解决这个问题。本文呈现了约翰·B·华生已发表著作的最新书目;它包含209个条目,与上一版当时最完善的书目相比,新增了50条。我们在此呈现的书目旨在帮助研究人员、历史学家和其他学者更全面地了解华生的行为主义及其对学术界和普通大众的影响。
