Issues in Contemporary German Social Psychology

Until now language barriers have prevented the well established and prolific social psychology of German-speaking countries from being easily accessible to the Anglo-American scholar. Covering the breadth of contemporary study, this unique volume presents original work by German-speaking social psychologists who have been prominently involved in the establishment and development of their field in the post-war period. These exceptional contributions, most of which appear in English for the first time, arise from an intellectual tradition different in part from that underlying most Anglo-American social psychology.
