Science and the person: the research of Willard Waller

Abstract

This article examines the manner in which scientific processes are influenced by social and personal context. It investigates the conceptual framework which Willard Waller brought to his search and how he conducted research. It examines the assumptions Waller carried into his analysis of social phenomena, particularly the manner in which he ordered reality and the consequences of those choices. An understanding of the social context should enable us to understand better Waller's work and the manner in which science is shaped by contextual factors.
