Muzafer Sherif on Individuals - Dictionary of Arguments
Haslam I 146 Individuals/Sherif: Carolyn), the individual should not be conceived in isolation from the rest of the world, but as interdependent with it, so that the individual ‘is not merely the recipient of sociocultural influences … [but] is an active participant in the reaction of social influences’ (Sherif and Sherif, 1969(1): 9). [Sherif] believed that ‘interpersonal relations occur within larger organized contexts, so that it is very difficult to consider other individuals as discrete social stimuli’ (1969(1): 15).
