A new outline of social psychology.The person.

A new outline of social psychology.: The person. The person is at the core of the model of social psychology. This chapter presents how the social psychological model conceptualizes individuals so that their experience and actions can be explained insofar as they are determined by and influence the social environment. The theoretical strategy is to characterize the person in terms of constructs that serve two functions: to summarize the whole range of psychological processes that generate action and experience, bringing them thus by proxy into the zone of interpenetration with the social environment; and to facilitate translating the influence of the whole range of social influence into psychological terms and vice versa. These psychological constructs thus act in the model as prisms, collecting forces from the psychological and from the social levels and refracting them onto the others. In this chapter, these constructs are defined and their relationships to other psychological concepts and to each other are posited.

Abstract

The person is at the core of the model of social psychology. This chapter presents how the social psychological model conceptualizes individuals so that their experience and actions can be explained insofar as they are determined by and influence the social environment. The theoretical strategy is to characterize the person in terms of constructs that serve two functions: to summarize the whole range of psychological processes that generate action and experience, bringing them thus by proxy into the zone of interpenetration with the social environment; and to facilitate translating the influence of the whole range of social influence into psychological terms and vice versa. These psychological constructs thus act in the model as prisms, collecting forces from the psychological and from the social levels and refracting them onto the others. In this chapter, these constructs are defined and their relationships to other psychological concepts and to each other are posited. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
