This paper is to describe the heart of Japanese Association of Psychological Science as the followings: First, the research questions rise from the problems themselves, but not from the research methodology at first; Second, we perceive the person as a subject to construct his or her life, but not as a object that is just studied; Third, we see phenomena historically and critically. We specify these views to say that we understand a person as a subject with right: First, there is the relationships of equality, but not that of authoritarian and obligation; Second, assertion of right is owing to the duty to other people, but not only to his or her benefits; Third, it is fostered by the expectation-system among members who share goals.
