Notes Toward a Contextualist Understanding of Social Psychology

Notes Toward a Contextualist Understanding of Social Psychology This article attempts to consolidate various contextualist ideas that have emerged out of the "crisis "that social psychology experienced over the past two decades. It proceeds on the philosophical premise that all sociopsychological knowledge is perennially conceptual and conjectural and no method can conclusively demonstrate the truth. Other assumptions and assertions of this experiential, interpretive orientation that recognizes the plurality, spontaneity, and ecological dependency of social behavior are exploited, with particular emphasis on their implications for a profoundly relativistic and pluralistic shift in sociopsychological thinking. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin SAGE

Abstract

This article attempts to consolidate various contextualist ideas that have emerged out of the "crisis "that social psychology experienced over the past two decades. It proceeds on the philosophical premise that all sociopsychological knowledge is perennially conceptual and conjectural and no method can conclusively demonstrate the truth. Other assumptions and assertions of this experiential, interpretive orientation that recognizes the plurality, spontaneity, and ecological dependency of social behavior are exploited, with particular emphasis on their implications for a profoundly relativistic and pluralistic shift in sociopsychological thinking.
