Committed Social Psychology

Abstract

Abstract Committed social psychology, often also known as critical social psychology, aims to expose the ways that existing power relations psychologically affect the lives of the powerless. This sort of research, which can be traced back to the classic prewar study of unemployment in the Austrian town of Marienthal, is politically committed to changing the world and to criticizing orthodox social psychology. Some of the similarities and differences between the Marienthal study and today's committed social psychology are outlined.
