LIMA, Marcus Eugênio Oliveira. Social psychology: fundamentals and fundamentalisms. Temas psicol. [online]. 2014, vol.22, n.1, pp.179-193. ISSN 1413-389X.  https://doi.org/10.9788/TP2014.1-14.

This manuscript proposes a theoretical analysis of the lack of contact between the different social psychologies existing in Brazil. We present two viewpoints that characterize extreme positions in the discipline, on the one hand a more empirical social psychology; on the other a social psychology predominantly theoretical and anti-empirical. Lack of contact feeds stereotypes and prejudices, which, in turn, create a vicious cycle that creates and expands differentiation between groups, feeding ethnocentric blindness. In conclusion we propose that the lack of contact between the more empiricist social psychology and the critical social psychology renders the first irrelevant and the second dogmatic, with wide repercussions for the area's bibliographic production, the formal training of social psychologists, and professional meetings.

Palavras-chave : Social Psychology; tensioning; integration and development.
