tradition, its present flowering is recognized to be characteristically an American
phenomenon. One reason for the striking upsurge of social psychology in the United
States lies in the pragmatic tradition of this country. National emergencies and
conditions of social disruption provide special incentive to invent new techniques, and
to strike out boldly for solutions to practical social problems.
Social psychology began to flourish soon after the First World War. This event,
followed by the great depression of the 1930s, by the rise of Hitler, the genocide of
Jews, race riots, the Second World War and the atomic threat, stimulated all branches
of social science. A special challenge fell to social psychology. The question was
asked: How is it possible to preserve the values of freedom and individual rights under
condition of mounting social strain and regimentation? Can science help provide and
answer? This challenging question led to burst of creative effort that added much to
our understanding of the phenomena of leadership, public opinion, rumor, propaganda,
prejudice, attitude change, morale communication, decision- making, race relations,
and conflicts of war.
Reviewing the decade that followed World War II, Cartwright [1961] speaks of the
“excitement and optimism” of American social psychologists, and notes “the
tremendous increase in the total number of people calling themselves social
psychologists.” Most of these, we may add, show little awareness of the history of their
field.
Practical and humanitarian motives have always played an important part in the
development of social psychology, not only in America but in other lands as well. Yet
there have been discordant and dissenting voices. In the opinion of Herbert Spencer in
England, of Ludwig Gumplowicz in Austria, and William Graham Sumner in the
United States, it is both futile and dangerous for man to attempt to steer or to speed
social change. Social evolution, they argue, requires time and obeys laws beyond the
control of man. The only practical service of social science is to warn man not to
interfere with the course of nature [or society]. But these authors are in a minority.
Most social psychologists share with Comte an optimistic view of man’s chances to
better his way of life. Has he not already improved his health via biological sciences?
Why should he not better his social relationships via social sciences? For the past
century this optimistic outlook has persisted in the face of slender accomplishment to
date. Human relations seem stubbornly set. Wars have not been abolished, labor
troubles have not abated, and racial tensions are still with us. Give us time and give us
money for research, the optimists say.
