Abstract Although experimental research continued to increase throughout the 1930s, the conflict between psychology and sociology was temporarily obscured by the brief entry of two new disciplines, psychoanalysis and cultural anthropology, and by a more general concentration on the psychological study of social problems brought on by the Great Depression. The stock market crash of 1929 and the depression marked a dramatic shift in cultural and intellectual trends and a pendulum swing away from the conservative focus on the individual that was characteristic of the 1920s. Social psychologists, like other social scientists, were profoundly aware of the impact of the environment during the depression and began once again to look for the causes of behavior within the broader social context. The development of social psychology during the 1930s reflected a blend of progressive ideals prevalent in America before World War I and new trends imported from Europe, such as Marxism and psychoanalysis.
