Field Theory and Experiment in Social Psychology: Concepts and Methods

The field theoretical approach is instrumental in integrating divergent physiological, psychological, and sociological facts on the basis of their interdependence.

Certain geometries are offered as adequate for representing social fields. The problem of adolescence and the concept "social group" are discussed in detail asexamples.
