Henry A. Murray on Situations - Dictionary of Arguments

Corr I 30
Situations/Murray/Funder: One of the earliest and most notable conceptions of situations comes from Henry Murray (1938)(1), whose theories illuminate the question of whether or not situations and persons are separable. Specifically, he was interested in the role that the environment played in a person’s ability to express his or her psychogenic needs and dubbed the forces exerted on behaviour by an environment its press. He distinguished between the forces that are intrinsically present in situations (which he called alpha press) and the forces that come about from an individual’s idiosyncratic reaction to objective properties of the situation (which he called beta press).
