Biography
Herbert Langfeld was born in Philadelphia on July 24, 1879.[1] He grew up in Philadelphia and was initially drawn to a diplomatic career. He was working for the American Embassy in Berlin when he was attracted to psychology. He earned a PhD in 1909 at the University of Berlin. He took a faculty position at Harvard University and ultimately went to Princeton University, where he became the psychological laboratory director and later the department chair for psychology.[2] While at Princeton he also directly influenced the ecological psychology approach of J. J. Gibson through his phenomenological ideas.[3]
Langfeld was APA president in 1930.[4] He also held leadership positions with the International Congress of Psychology and the Psychology Section of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.[5]
