This book not only documents the authors' own studies of real life
social situations, but also provides an extensive review of other
literature in this field. Michael Argyle and his colleagues are
particularly concerned with the practical applications of
situational analysis - to social skills training, mental health and
deviance, intergroup behaviour, personnel selection and consumer
research. In addition, by concentrating on situational variables,
the volume makes an important contribution to the study of
personality, since personality-situational interaction is at least
as important in determining behaviour as are general personality
traits. During recent years there has been extensive criticism of
the conduct of research in social psychology. Social Situations
points the way forward to a resolution of the crisis in the
discipline. It marks an important advance in our understanding of
social behaviour which will interest social and clinical
psychologists and sociologists.
