Star: Social psychologists should use more of the descriptive methods tha sociologists use, is just absolutely true. Some social psychologists very much do that that, right? If you're studying politics at all, you're probably being informed by a lot of sociologists. And i guess i'm just wondering why, why it doesn't seem like, giving that their methodologies are different things, it doesn't necessarily mean that the methodologies would be that different,. I'm answering the question as to why they are two different fields.
Is social psychology just a kid dressing up in grown-up science clothes? Are the methods in social psychology--hypothesis-driven experiments and model-building--appropriate for the state of the field? Or do these methods lead to a narrowing of vision, stifled creativity, and a lack of informed curiosity about the social world> David and Tamler discuss the strong methodological critique of psychology from two of its leading practitioners - Paul Rozin and Solomon Asch.
