Cookie White Stephan and Walter G. Stephan This is a book about the
two social psychologies-psychological social psychology and
sociological social psychology--written by social psychologists
from both disciplines. It focuses on the benefits and costs of
interchange between psychological social psychology and
sociological social psychology, with the ultimate goal of
encouraging interaction among scholars in the two disciplines. The
primary questions addressed are: What do the two disciplines have
to offer each other? What are the barriers to fruitful interchange?
How can these barriers be overcome? In this introductory chapter we
will first examine some historical reasons for the lack of
interchange between the two social psychologies. Then we will
provide a brief preview of the chapters to follow. The Development
of the Two Social Psychologies The beginning of concern with the
"social animal" can be traced to the ancient Greeks. However,
social psychology's formal beginning is usually dated from Norman
Triplett's 1897 publication of his findings on the effects of
competition or from the publication in 1908 of two books including
the words "Social Psychology" in their titles, one by the
psychologist William McDougall and the other by the sociologist
Edward Alsworth Ross. Thus, from its inception, social psychology
was already divided into two distinct academic units, housed in the
disciplines of sociology and psychology.
