In recent decades, various studies have challenged the traditional view that John Broadus Watson's Behaviorist Manifesto prompted a psychological revolution. However, methodological hindrances underlie all these attempts to evaluate the impact of Watson's study, such as the absence of comparative parameters. This article remedies this problem by conducting a comparative citation analysis involving Watson and eight other representative psychologists of the time: J. R. Angell, H. Carr, J. M. Cattell, J. Dewey, G. S. Hall, W. James, E. L. Thorndike, and E. B. Titchener. Eight important American journals were scrutinized for the period between 1903 and 1923, a decade before and a decade after the publication of Watson's Manifesto. The results suggest that even if Watson's study cannot be taken as revolutionary, it had an impact between 1914 and 1923 that was close to Dewey's, Titchener's, and Thorndike's and higher than Angell's, Carr's, Cattell's, and Hall's, although distant from James's. Finally, some methodological implications of this study are discussed.

重新评估John Broadus Watson对美国心理学的最初影响：比较参数的必要性。

在最近的几十年中，各种研究挑战了传统观点，即约翰·布劳德·沃森的行为主义者宣言引发了一场心理革命。然而，所有这些试图评估沃森研究影响的尝试都是方法论上的障碍，例如缺乏比较参数。本文通过对包括Watson和当时八位其他代表性心理学家的比较引文分析进行补救，以解决此问题：JR Angell，H。Carr，JM Cattell，J。Dewey，GS Hall，W。James，EL Thorndike和EB Titchener。在1903年至1923年之间，即《沃森宣言》发表之前和之后的十年，对八种重要的美国期刊进行了审查。结果表明，即使沃森的研究不能被视为革命性的，在1914年到1923年之间，它的影响力与杜威（Dewey），蒂金纳（Titchener）和桑代克（Thorndike）差不多，并且比安杰尔（Angell），卡尔（Carr），卡特尔（Cattell）和霍尔（Hall）更高，尽管与詹姆斯的差距很大。最后，讨论了这项研究的一些方法论意义。
