Social Psychology and Human ValuesAuthor(s): M. Brewster Smith\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Inc, United States\nImprint: AldineTransaction\nISBN-13: 9780202308920, 978-0202308920\nSynopsis\nReflecting the contributions of M. Brewster Smith to social psychology and personality study, this selection includes not only his best known essays but also previously unpublished material. Professor Smith's consistent striving for a psychology both scientific and humane unifies the collection; it is a valid and valuable overview of the relevance of social psychology to human experience and societal problems by a man at the midstream of his career.\n\nAn introductory essay traces the major themes in Professor Smith's work. Part I discusses the interdisciplinary relations of social psychology with other behavioral sciences; it shows that social psychology, standing at the crossroads of the social sciences, must articulate its contributions with those of the other disciplines.
