Why were the views of women held by Titchener, Munsterberg, and Hall considered paradoxical?
Hall’s views about the women was widely accepted at the time but later on Diehl indicates the views presented by the hall on the women were paradoxical in nature just like Titchener’s and Munsterberg’s views. According to the hall, the females were responsible for the evolution of the species of human in the future. He suggested that for females the adolescence is the right stage for training of the motherhood.
Hall was univocally against the coeducation system. According to him, the primary role of the every woman is motherhood only but on the other hand under the leadership of the Hall Clack university was considered as the most open institutions for the female graduate level students.
He seems to be the most prominent supporter of the female graduate students in the psychological field as well as in the other related fields. Hall’s study on adolescence stage revealed that the development of the habits and the study of the instinctual makeup of the human have to be done during the adolescence stage only.
