Editorial Note

This volume is the third in a series of three dealing with changing conceptions in social psychology. The chapters contained in these volumes originated in symposia which were organized by the editors with the help of members and guests of the Study Group "Historical Change in Social Psychology." The work of this group has been made possible by a grant and the hospitality offered by the Werner-Reimers Foundation, Bad Homburg, Federal Republic of Germany, with the assistance of the Maison des Sciences de l'Homme, Paris, France. Further volumes:

Changing Concepts of Crowd Mind and Behavior Changing Conceptions of Leadership

Acknowledgments The editors are grateful for the exemplary editorial and production assistance given by the staff of Springer-Verlag, both in New York and Heidelberg. It was again Barbara Keller in the Psychology Department in Heidelberg who most efficiently assisted one of the editors and who, with the help of Guenter Koenemund, finished off the editorial tasks by supplying the index. Their help is deeply appreciated.
