An Acultural Perspective on Experimental Social Psychology

Jane Sell

Michael W. Martin

University of Southern Mississippi

It has been argued that experimental social psychology is the study of industrialized societies. If this is the case, it appears that cross-cultural theories cannot be advanced experimentally. Contrary to this, we argue that experimental social psychology is not the study of industrialized societies or any actual society. It is because experiments do not investigate any single given society that they can help advance cross-cultural theories.
