A new outline of social psychology.: Integrative strategies. In this chapter I review three strategies that theorists have used to take psychological and social conditions jointly into account when explaining human behavior and experience. The strategies of reductionism and metalanguage are analyzed at some length here in order to bring out their strengths and weaknesses for building social psychological theory. The levels of analysis approach is discussed only briefly at this point because it is presented by using it primarily throughout the rest of this volume. Reductionism and metalanguage strategies have certain advantages that can be incorporated into a levels of analysis approach for integrating the social and the psychological. None of the three strategies alone is adequate for pursuing the mission of social psychology.

Abstract

In this chapter I review three strategies that theorists have used to take psychological and social conditions jointly into account when explaining human behavior and experience. The strategies of reductionism and metalanguage are analyzed at some length here in order to bring out their strengths and weaknesses for building social psychological theory. The levels of analysis approach is discussed only briefly at this point because it is presented by using it primarily throughout the rest of this volume. Reductionism and metalanguage strategies have certain advantages that can be incorporated into a levels of analysis approach for integrating the social and the psychological. None of the three strategies alone is adequate for pursuing the mission of social psychology. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
