The Making of social psychology

This book is the twelfth in a series based on discussions with outstanding contributors to the field of psychology, and the second to include discussions with a number of contributors. This series was launched in 1957 with completion of the recorded conversations with the late Carl Jung and the late Ernest Jones (Evans 1964, 1976), supported by a grant from the Fund for the Advancement of Education. Continued support for the series has been provided under a grant from the National Science Foundation. The basic purpose of the project is to produce, for teaching purposes, a series of films and books that introduce the student to significant contributors in the field of psychology. It is hoped that these films and books may also serve as documents of increasing value in the history of the behavioural sciences.
