- The humanistic tradition in personality psychology emerged during a period of great uncertainty and upheaval. World War II and the Cold War contributed to a widespread feeling of unease and anxiety which led to a growing interest in human psychology and a desire to understand how people can thrive in the face of adversity.
- Humanistic psychologists believe that people are fundamentally good and have the innate capacity to grow and develop. They focus on someone's subjective experience and their potential for self-actualization. They also emphasize the importance of free will and personal responsibility.
- In the second half of the past century, an influx of immigrants from all over the world brought a new wave of educated specialists.

New and intriguing debates about the role of psychology emerged in the 1950s (Shiraev 2015):
- Some psychologists argued that psychology should use primarily experimental methods of investigation, while others believed that psychology should also embrace other approaches such as studying happiness, self-improvement, and compassion
- Humanistic psychologists believe that psychology should pay significant attention to human suffering and injustice and pursue goals to make society better.
- This view accelerated in the changing political culture of the 1960s as people challenged traditional norms and focused on civil rights and discrimination.
