"The treatment of social psychology in this book departs from tradition in that it is not an attempt to develop the subject on the basis of a single explanatory principle (such as instinct, imitation, or the "crowd mind"), but bases it on the total results of general psychology. This, in the author's opinion, is the most important feature of the volume, and the source of such value as it may have. On the other hand, the treatment is conservative in that it makes no use of "unconscious mental processes, " "the unconscious mind, " or other popular substitutes for scientific principles. Psychology is fully competent to explain all mental processes, social as well as individual, without recourse to mysticism or pseudopsychology. The treatment is not intended to be comprehensive, nor absolutely systematic. Certain topics, for example, racial psychology, are omitted because, in the opinion of the author, the present state of our information on these topics is such that their treatment in an elementary and general text would be useless. Topics have been selected which are central in their interest, vital in their relation to the general subject, and definite enough to constitute together a starting point from which further progress may be made. Concrete facts of organization are, in the main, put first, and generalizations of principles last, although the principles are to some extent developed in the treatment of data, and the later generalizations are limited in scope. The topics discussed in this book of social psychology include: sex differences; marriage and family; religious organization; civic and martial organization; the condition of social progress; and the principles of social organization and propaganda"--(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2007 APA, all rights reserved).
