Opis

Published to mark the 100th anniversary of Tripplet's study of bicycle racers, which has often been cited as the beginning of modern experimental social psychology, this edited collection brings together the reflections of nine social psychologists who spoke at a conference at Yosemite National Park in 1997. The book begins with personal histories of the researchers, which also represent histories of the discipline itself. Subsequent chapters turn to the field's historical roots: its origins, course of theories, methods and approaches. All chapters share a common theme: an examination of the ways in which the lives and experiences of leading social-psychology scholars have helped to shape the history of the field itself.
