Lipské učení a odchod do důchodu

V roce 1881 založil Wundt časopis "Philosophical Research". Toto je první odborný časopis experimentální psychologie.

1889-90, působil jako prezident Lipské univerzity.

V roce 1917 odešel z učení a byl úspěšný jeho studentem Felixem Krugerem.

Psychologická nezávislost

I když psychologie má dlouhou historii ,nemá dlouhodobě nezávislý stav kvůli složitosti a nejistotě výzkumných objektů. S rozvojem kapitalistického průmyslu a vedoucím pokrokem ve vědě a technologii se volání po nezávislosti psychologie.využívá. experimentální psychologie na dobrém začátku, ale účelem jeho výzkumu bylo obhájit své filozofické názory, nevytvářet vědeckou psychologii. z filozofie a přírodních věd. V roce 1879 předsedal založení první světové laboratoře věnované psychologickému výzkumu a zavedl nový experimentální psychologický systém využívající experimentálních metod, čímž oficiálně prohlásil vznik psychologie.
