Publisher's Synopsis
`shows that we are in the midst of a period of thoughtful reflection about the field of social psychology... Particularly impressive are the nuanced terms in which authors discuss the processes by which the discipline develops and its practitioners identify problems as central or peripheral. Also, (the) highlighting of Thibaut′s view that social psychology will become the fundamental social science is an optimistic feature of these articles′ - Alice Eagly This volume was first published as Volume 3 Number 2 (1988) of the Journal of Social Behavior and Personality.
