CARVALHO, Paulo Roberto de. Contemporary institutional transformations: an analysis on non-contact relations. Psicol. teor. prat. [online]. 2018, vol.20, n.3, pp. 228-239. ISSN 1516-3687.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5935/1980-6906/psicologia.v20n3p228-239.

Social Psychology emphasizes the analysis of institutions that distribute functions and operate the socialization. In contemporary times, a historical approach of the institutional network reveals that the same process transformed the institutions: the emergence and consolidation of non-contact relationships. This study aims to to analyze the institutions, in the attempt to understand how they take place and what are the functional changes the capitalist societies attach to them, focusing on family, school, prison, and labor organizations. The qualitative method was adopted, characterized by an in-depth study of social events, considering the discourse and practices of their agents. As a result, the research outlined the main changes in the institutional framework the modern societies face.

Keywords : institutions; social transformation; psychology; contemporary; technology.
