This book critically examines the work of a number of pioneers of
social psychology, including legendary figures such as Kurt Lewin,
Leon Festinger, Muzafer Sherif, Solomon Asch, Stanley Milgram, and
Philip Zimbardo. Augustine Brannigan argues that the reliance of
these psychologists on experimentation has led to questions around
validity and replication of their studies. The author explores new
research and archival work relating to these studies and outlines a
new approach to experimentation that repudiates the use of
deception in human experiments and provides clues to how social
psychology can re-articulate its premises and future lines of
research. Based on the author's 2004 work The Rise and Fall of
Social Psychology, in which he critiques the experimental methods
used, the book advocates for a return to qualitative methods to
redeem the essential social dimensions of social psychology.
Covering famous studies such as the Stanford Prison Experiment,
Milgram's studies of obedience, Sherif's Robbers Cave, and
Rosenhan's expose of psychiatric institutions, this is essential
and fascinating reading for students of social psychology, and the
social sciences. It's also of interest to academics and researchers
interested in engaging with a critical approach to classical social
psychology, with a view to changing the future of this important
discipline.
