The magazine for youth studies (ZfJ) was together with the magazine for child research and the magazine for educational psychology from 1931 to 1935 the main organ of the youth studies research . From 1931 to 1933 it appeared as a quarterly for youth customers and was given its new name in 1934 after a change in conception and publication.

history

The quarterly journal for youth customers was first published in 1931 by Julius Klinkhardt . The editor was the education professor Otto Tumlirz from the University of Graz . The magazine initially appeared quarterly. From 1933 psychology professor Friedrich Sander from the University of Jena joined as co-editor. In the 4th year of 1934 the publication frequency was changed to two months and the name was changed accordingly to Zeitschrift für Jugendkunde. Conceptually new paths were also broken. In 1935 there was only one annual edition that was supposed to reflect the “state of youth studies in the countries of European culture”, which is also the title of the publication. Subsequently, the magazine was discontinued without further information.

content

At that time, youth research was still a very young discipline. The magazine was conceived by Otto Turmlitz in order to present the entire field of youth studies and to establish a meaningful link to the specialist sciences of his time. The journal accordingly contained four basic sections:
I. Spiritual currents
II. Progress in research
III. Applied youth studies ( case studies , i.e. case descriptions)
IV. Literature (this meant book and magazine reviews)

In the first year, Édouard Claparède wrote about functional psychology, Edward Lee Thorndike about learning psychology , Theodor Heller about neglect and Friedrich Glaeser about the pedagogical relationship to youth studies. Other authors were Alfred Adler and Rudolf Aller .

The first expansion took place in 1933 when applied youth studies took up more space. This in turn has now been subdivided into criminal biology and forensic psychology of adolescents, psychopathic adolescents and applied adolescent studies in the field of education. The seizure resulted from 1933 first the criminalization of the subject as a new focus, one now with Ferdinand Sauer Reich German was listed as co-editor.

In 1934 the magazine was redesigned. New employees joined the team and a kind of scientific advisory board was held on the title. Psychologists, pedagogues, professional experts, psychiatrists and criminal biologists were now represented in the expanded editorial team. These included criminologist Ernst Seelig , psychopathologist Rudolf Michel , professional psychologist Albert Huth , reform pedagogue Peter Petersen and Hamburg psychologist Gustaf Deuchler . The latter two were known to be anti-Semites .

Against the background of the new zeitgeist, the heading "Spiritual trends" was dropped. Instead, the heading “Position of the younger generation” was added. The goal setting was no longer about internationality in research, but about painting a picture of German political youth, in the sense of their mythologization and heroization, entirely in the sense of nationality. Accordingly, representatives of the National Socialists were elected as new authors. The articles now included essays on the new right-wing youth culture. Petersen wrote about the "psychological meaning of political symbols" or Herbert Sailer about the comradeship house .

In 1935 there was only one annual volume, which was mainly designed by Tumlirz, who did not agree with the new direction of the magazine, but could not prevail against Sander. The annual volume was a final rebellion against the National Socialist glorification of youth, which made youth research as Tumlirz understood impossible. The anthology allowed international youth researchers in Europe to present their latest findings. It was also the last volume of the magazine. There have been several speculations about the reasons. Presumably it was not solely due to the dissent between Tumlirz and Sander, but also had something to do with the death of the publisher Wilhelm Julius Klinkhardt.
