The Austrian Society for Psychology (ÖGP) is the association of psychologists in Austria who work in research and teaching .
The ÖGP (founded in 1993 in Vienna ) cooperates with the scientific sister societies of the German-speaking area ( German Society for Psychology and Swiss Society for Psychology ) and a federation agreement with the largest professional association, the Professional Association of Austrian Psychologists (BÖP). It is a member of the International Union of Psychological Science (IUPsyS) and has organized the biennial Scientific Conference of the Austrian Society for Psychology since 1994, the largest regular specialist congress in the country.
Before 1993, Austrian psychologists working in science were mainly organized in the German Society for Psychology , which saw itself as a German-speaking professional society (its congresses also took place in Salzburg, Vienna and Zurich). After this society concentrated more on developments in Germany, especially in connection with the reunification of the two German states, differentiation took place, whereby double memberships are still common.
In the course of its existence, the ÖGP has repeatedly turned to the public and politicians (also via the Austrian University Conference, formerly the Rectors' Conference) to draw attention to the unfortunate situation of the “mass subject” of psychology at Austrian universities.
