TI  - Rethinking the Golden Age of Social Psychology
AB  - It is tragic yet curious to realize that a historical period of great human misery canmotivate great scientific endeavour. This paper argues that the “golden age” ofsocial psychology was driven by the traumas of fascism. We first trace the rootsof the World War II to modernism. We then compare the social psychologicalstudies conducted before and after the World War II in relation to this historicalbackground and the rationality-irrationality debate. Overall, we present a seriesof examples which purport to show that the “golden age” of social psychologyemerged as a response to humans’ violation of different rationality norms. Weconclude with a set of proposals for the amelioration of irrationality derivedagain from social psychological studies.
