Abstract
This is a particularly good time to reexamine research priorities and paradigms in social psychology. Much of social psychology today is like a torrent of water that has reached a mountain ridge and is unable to find an exit toward the sea. Most of it consists of going around in circles.
I am most grateful to Drs. Strickland and Tajfel for the invitation to present a paper on cultural analysis and I am indebted to D. Carlston, M. Fishbein, P. Laughlin, J. McGrath, and R. Wyer for critical reviews of an earlier draft.
