Makale Özeti: A REAPPRAISAL OF WUNDT’S INFLUENCE ON SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY

Wundt is generally recognized as a pioneer and institutional founder of the academic study of scientific psychology in Europe. He effectively created the first laboratory, textbook, journal, and PhD program in experimental psychology. Wundt also thought that this form of experimental individual psychology should be supplemented by Völkerpsychologie, a social or group or cultural or folk psychology, concerned with the complex mental products of social communities. Wundt followed in Darwin’s footstep to create social/psychological part of his system. Wundt looked at the products of cultural evolution. Also, Wundt offered accounts of the development of mind, as culture, and social life. Article examines in particular link Wundt’s social psychology.
According to Wundt, the nature of higher mental processes could be deduced from the cultural products as religion, social customs, myths, history, language, morals, art, and the law. Wundt studied these topics with his research culminating in his Völkerpsychologie. Völkerpsychologie is not interested in the unique and specific facts of this nation's history or that tribe's language as such, but only insofar as these reveal the general psychological developments that arise from the connection of individual. While Völkerpsychologie does not concern itself with historical or linguistic facts as such, this does not mean that it is not concerned with individuality. Indeed, it is through the study of the psychological motives only apparent in history or language i.e.; in communal existence. It’s our understanding of the individual is completed.
According to article, experimental social psychology has a direct connection to a modified version Wundt’s experimental psychology but this article said that there is no connection to Wundt’s social psychology.
According to this article, Wundt’s social psychology had no influence directly on the general psychology or we can also say that social psychology was to develop in the 20th century.
