日本心理學協會(JPA)成立于1927年4月7日，是一個學術組織。作為日本歷史最悠久的全國性心理協會，我們通過包括學術研究人員和專業從業者在內的會員基礎，為日本心理活動的發展做出了貢獻。2011年4月1日，經內閣辦公室批準成立公益法人協會。截至2012年3月底，我們的會員總數為7411人。自成立以來，我們繼續舉辦學術會議，出版會員名錄和主要學術期刊《日本心理學雜志》。我們還出版了一本英文期刊《日本心理學研究》和一本具有啟發性和知識性的雜志《心理學世界》。我們的其他活動包括認證心理學家、公開講座、公開研討會、為注冊心理學家舉辦的工作坊，以及向杰出的研究人員頒發獎項。作為我們致力于國際交流的一部分，自1951年第13屆國際心理學大會在斯德哥爾摩召開以來，我們一直是國際心理科學聯盟(lUPsyS)的國家成員。1972年在東京舉辦了第20屆國際心理學大會，1990年在京都舉辦了第22屆國際應用心理學大會，都取得了很大的成功。第31屆國際心理學大會(ICP2016)將于2016年7月24日至29日在橫濱舉行。在國內，我們通過與日本心理協會聯合會的其他心理相關協會的交流，探討教育課程和認證問題。
