2012 reprint of 1956 First edition. Full facsimile of the original
edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. When
Prophecy Fails 1956] is a classic text in social psychology
authored by Leon Festinger, Henry Riecken, and Stanley Schachter.
It chronicles the experience of a UFO cult that believed the end of
the world was at hand. In effect, it is a social and psychological
study of a modern group that predicted the destruction of the
world, and the adjustments made when the prediction failed to
materialize. "The authors have done something as laudable as it is
unusual for social psychologists. They espied a fleeting social
movement important to a line of research they were interested in
and took after it. They recruited a team of observers, joined the
movement, and watched it from within under great difficulties until
its crisis came and went. Their report is of interest as much for
the method as for the substance."-Everett C. Hughes, The American
Journal of Sociology.
