Dialogues and Debates in Social Psychology

by J Murphy, M John & H Brown

ISBN (10) - 0863770207

This Open University Reader examines the dialogues and debates in social psychology which have a bearing on twentieth-century problems and preoccupations and explores the nature of social knowledge and the roles a social psychologist can and does play in society. The purpose is to demonstrate that the usefulness and relevance of any research conclusions can only be assessed through an understanding of the social setting that gave rise to the research. The student is provided with examples of the different research traditions, illustrating how social issues are translated into research programmes, revealing the tensions that exist within the discipline and showing how researchers deal with their persisting problems and attempt to reconcile their social and academic roles.
