This book is about the life and work of a Turkish-American social
scientist, Muzafer Sherif (1905-1988). He was known for his seminal
work on norm and group formations, social judgment, and intergroup
conflicts and cooperation. Although Sherif is identified as one of
the founders of social psychology, his contribution to the science
of psychology goes beyond the limits of social psychology as it is
generally defined today. This volume aims to rediscover the theory
and research of its subject in the socio-historical context of his
time, as well as his relevance for contemporary psychology.
Chapters cover a range of topics: an in-depth portrayal of Sherif's
life and intellectual struggle in Turkey and in the United States;
his metatheoretical considerations on the science of psychology;
his theory and research on group and intergroup relationships,
social norms and social change; formation and change of frames of
reference, ego- involvements and identity; and psychology of
slogans. Sherif had profound life experiences in different cultural
contexts from the Ottoman Empire and World War I to American
universities, which enabled him to see the essentiality of the
historico-cultural context in the formation of human phenomena.
Sherif's psychology is an elegant exemplar of an integrative
science of psychology that is worth rediscovering.
