Social Psychology Quotes"Man is a social animal." "There is as much difference between us and ourselves, as between us
and others." For some people friendship is the thief of time while for others time
available for friendship is a measure of civilised life. "While the modern social psychologist does indeed need experimental,
statistical, and computer skills, he needs also historical perspective.
He needs immersion in theories (both macro and micro). Above all,
he needs an ability to relate his problem to the context in which it
properly belongs. Sometimes the context lies in the traditions of
academic psychology, often in sociology or anthropology, sometimes in
philosophy or theology, occasionally in history or in economics,
frequently in the political life of our day. Sometimes the science
of genetics or clinical experience provides the context." ReferencesCherry, F. (1995). The 'stubborn' particulars of social psychology: Essays on the research process. Routledge: London. |
