FOREWORD: SINCE its formation in 1936, the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues has undertaken many projects. It has published three yearbooks, in which it has attempted to assemble the best available psychological research and thought concerning the problems of industrial conflict, of civilian morale, and of enduring peace. It publishes the quarterly Journal of Social Issues, each issue of which is devoted to the presentation and interpretation of research findings in some special area of human relations. It has subsidized cooperative research among university centers in this country. It is cooperating in efforts to organize social scientists throughout the world who see much to be gained by pooling their efforts to solve common human problems. It has issued public releases from time to time concerning issues which it believes can be illuminated by psychological understanding.

Prepared for the Committee on the Teaching of Social Psychology of The Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues.
