Abstract
Social psychology experiences recurring so-called “crises.” This article maintains that these episodes actually mark advances in the discipline; these “crises” have enhanced relevance and led to greater methodological and statistical sophistication. New statistical tools have allowed social psychologists to begin to achieve a major goal: placing psychological phenomena in their larger social contexts. This growing trend is illustrated with numerous recent studies; they demonstrate how cultures and social norms moderate basic psychological processes. Contextual social psychology is finally emerging.This publication has 55 references indexed in Scilit:
