[Review of the book Experimental Social Psychology

Abstract

Reviews the book, Experimental Social Psychology by Gardner Murphy and Lois Barclay Murphy (see record 1931-03866-000 ). Without doubt this work will establish itself as a guide to the region of science devoted to social psychology. The fundamental view-point is well expressed in a sentence from page 488. "It must, of course, be borne in mind that here--as in so many other places in this book--our interest is to open experimental questions, not to close them." In closing it must be said that the House of Harpers has mightily strengthened its psychology list with this title and has redeemed itself for past errors.
