| Summary |
This book begins with a description of the author's sense of the disciplinary problems of social psychology--framing them in terms of the field's defining mission to explain the reciprocal influence of the person and his or her social environment. The literature of proposed conceptual strategies for relating the social and the psychological is next surveyed. The emphasis at this point is not upon the substantive details of the various strategies but upon the different strategic choices that scholars have made. He then offers his own integrative model and definition of social psychology |
