Military Psychology - Its Role in the Growth of Psychology in Australia

Abstract

This paper highlights the growth and vitality of military psychology by providing an overview of its research and operations. While the predominant emphasis during wartime was on selection, the accomplishments in this area have bolstered the perception of psychology as a valuable science which has produced practical results of immediate utility. Military psychology has broadened its horizons since World War II. Military psychologists provide professional support and advice to various academic institutions, other government departments and research agencies both in Australia and abroad. Australian military psychologists currently collaborate with their counterparts in allied forces in areas of military manpower trends; training technology; and human factors in man-systems integration.
