Julian Ochorowicz (1850–1917) belonged to the first generation of psychologists who regarded this discipline as a scientific, positive endeavor. At the same time, he was a representative of psychic sciences, following a strictly positivist attitude to researching psychic phenomena. This article discusses the key event of his career, experiments with the famous medium Eusapia Palladino, in Warsaw, between late 1893 and early 1894. Ochorowicz's séances with Palladino attracted wide local and international attention and improved his standing as an internationally leading psychic researcher. In Warsaw, however, these experiments were fiercely controversial and, as a result, Ochorowicz was discredited and left the city. As I argue, this dissociation of credibilities was the outcome of a changing media landscape in the late nineteenth century. While Ochorowicz's strategy of boundary-work and asserting his credibility aimed at scholarly media, it proved fatal when facing intensive, daily coverage in the popular press.

Julian Ochorowicz 对 Eusapia Palladino 的实验 1894：大众媒体的时间性和地方信誉的危机

Julian Ochorowicz (1850-1917) 属于第一代心理学家，他们认为这门学科是一门科学的、积极的努力。同时，他是精神科学的代表，以严格的实证主义态度研究精神现象。本文讨论了他职业生涯中的关键事件，即 1893 年末至 1894 年初在华沙对著名的灵媒 Eusapia Palladino 的实验。奥乔罗维茨与帕拉迪诺的降神会引起了当地和国际的广泛关注，并提高了他作为国际领先的通灵研究者的地位。然而，在华沙，这些实验引起了激烈的争议，结果，奥乔罗维茨名誉扫地，离开了这座城市。正如我所说，这种可信度的分离是 19 世纪后期不断变化的媒体格局的结果。
