Document Summary
The three faces of social psychology by james. Many social psychologists have worried that social psychological work has become too narrow and specialized while others have been worried that it"s become too widely diffused and dissipated. The larger and more serious problem of social psychology is that it"s been divided into three faces: Focused on psychological processes in relation to social stimuli through lab experiments. Relates macrosocial phenomena to individuals" psychological attributes and behaviours, usually using quantitative but nonexperimental methods. The crisis in social psychological is that each face is uninterested in the others. Wwii produced an acceleration of certain trends in social psychology. Created major centres of graduate training in soc psy which were interdisciplinary or informal in their structure and orientation. The substantive focus is on individual psychological processes - perception, cognition, motivation, learning, attitude formation and change, etc. As they operate in relation to social stimuli and situations.
