Fundamentos da psicologia social

Resumo

The central theme of this study refers to the foundations of Social Psychology. In this case both the ontological, epistemological, logical and axiologial suppositions, as well as conceptual, theorical and methodological fundaments of this field of contemporary Psychology were examined. Two suppositions justify this task the first one is, that all sciences are inexorably based on metaphysical and logical fundamentals and the second is, that the lack of clarity about these elements hinders the development of consequent research pro grams. The aims collimated in the achievement of this work can be specified as follows: characterization of Social Psy-chology; analysis of the philosophical and logical fundamentals of that discipline; specification of the origin and attempt to classify the psychological concepts; evaluation of the theoretical level achieved in Social Psychology; and discussion of the epistemological aspects of the methodology used in this field. This dissertation may be classified as philosophical, due to the nature of the problems submitted to investigation and of the methodology used to this end. Three main conclusions were reached: first, that in all human and social sciences, due to persistence of several anthropological assumptions or images of Man, it is convenient to promote the theoretical pluralism; second, that in psychological disciplines, the nomothetical orientation – one of several existent doctrinary alternatives - should continue to be developed; and, finally, that Social Psychology occupies the place of an important element in the process of Man's self-consciousness.
