Social Psychology Research -
from Michael Kearl's site at Trinity University. "Amid this multitude of social
science disciplines is social psychology which, as can be inferred from its label,
involves the ways in which both social and mental processes determine action. What,
precisely, this means research-wise, however, remains a matter of historic debate both
between and within the disciplines of psychology and sociology. What weight is to be given
to the social, the psychological, and the interaction between the two? What does the
interaction between psychological and sociological processes even mean?"
Society for the Psychological Study of
Social Issues - SPSSI is an international group of over 3500 psychologists,
allied
scientists, students, and others who share a common interest in research on the
psychological aspects of important social issues. In various ways, the Society seeks to
bring theory and practice into focus on human problems of the group, the community, and
nations, as well as the increasingly important problems that have no national boundaries.
Society for the Study of Symbolic Interaction -
SSSI - SSSI is a social science professional organization of scholars
interested in qualitative, especially interactionist, research. The society
organizes panels and sessions at annual conferences such as the American Sociological
Association and Midwest Sociology Society Annual Meetings, and each spring
