The Western Psychological Association (abbreviated WPA) is an American learned society dedicated to the study of psychology and other behavioral sciences.
[2] It promotes psychological research through an annual conference, which it has held since its founding, and where psychologists read their research papers to one another.
[4][5] The Western Psychological Association was established in 1921 with fourteen members,[3] and held its first meeting in August of that year.
The meeting took place in Berkeley, California, and was held in conjunction with the Pacific division of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
