Carl Friedrich Graumann (2004)

Carl-Friedrich Graumann (born March 31, 1923 in Cologne ; † August 8, 2007 ) was a German psychologist and university professor.

Graumann dealt with both theoretical problems and empirical research in psychology. In basic research, he pursued new approaches. The focus of his work was in the following areas:

  1. The importance of language for psychology and its empirical investigation
  2. The entanglement of cognition and communication
  3. The ecology of human experience and behavior
  4. The historicity of all human experience and psychological knowledge

As a representative of social psychology in the German-speaking area, he recognized the intersections of this area with general psychology , such as memory . His publication on "Interaction and Communication" from 1972 can be regarded as an important contribution to the development of communication psychology . The Collaborative Research Center “Language and Situation”, which he initiated, was funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). Here researchers from psychology, linguistics, sociology and other sciences worked together for several years on a subject-specific basis, which enhanced the interdisciplinary context within psychology.

Graumann worked to ensure that psychology could establish itself as a science and practice in the German-speaking area. As a board member of the German Society for Psychology , which he chaired from 1968 to 1970, he published for the first time a "report on the state of psychology", which has been prepared by the respective presidents every two years since then. In the first of these reports he chose a format that is still relevant today, reflecting psychology as a science, as a subject and as a profession; in the sense of his ideology, this would have to be supplemented by the area of ​​representation of psychology in public.

Life

Graumann took advantage of distance learning psychology at the University of Saskatchewan, Canada in 1943/44. He finished his studies in psychology, philosophy and physiology at the Universities of Cologne and Bonn. His doctorate in psychology took place at the University of Cologne in 1952. He completed his habilitation at the University of Bonn in 1959. From 1963 until his retirement in 1991, Graumann was a full professor at the University of Heidelberg . In 1962 he was visiting professor at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh and at the New School for Social Research (Graduate Faculty) New York City in 1973/74. He came to various research stays at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales and the Maison des Sciences de l'Homme in Paris. In 1984 he married the psychologist Lenelis Kruse .

Graumann was spokesman for the research group “Speaking and Understanding Language in a Social Context” in Heidelberg / Mannheim from 1983 to 1988 and the Collaborative Research Center “Language and Situation” Heidelberg / Mannheim from 1989 to 1993. He was also an honorary member of the DGPs and a founding member of the Wilhelm Wundt Society .

Together with Hubert Feger, Martin Irle and Klaus Holzkamp , he founded the Zeitschrift für Sozialpsychologie in 1970 (published since 2008 under the title Social Psychology ). With Johannes Linschoten (1925–1864) Graumann published the series of publications on phenomenological-psychological research .
