Leonard Berkovitz on Social Psychology - Dictionary of Arguments
Haslam I 217 Social Psychology/VsSocial Psychology/Sherif/Berkowitz: In the 1970s, the field of social psychology, many argued, was in a state of crisis. Many critics questioned the generalizability of social psychological findings and, ultimately, the practical relevance not only of its findings but also of the field itself. Leonard Berkowitz observed that ‘social psychology is now in a “crisis stage”…. We seem to be somewhat at a loss for important problems to investigate’ (as quoted by Smith, 1972(1): 86). Muzafer Sherif further noted ‘the skyrocketing volume of research which yields but little of substance’ (Sherif, 1977(2): 368). >M. Sherif.
