The Theory of Attitude Formation and Change and Its Application to Social Group Work
نویسنده
چکیده
Why do people think the way they do? How do they change their minds? These and similar questions have long been asked by epistomologists and more recently by social psychologists. The latter, since the second world war, have accumulated data from experiments and surveys which are, to a greater degree than heretofore, measurable; and the implications of this research on attitude change extend to social group work. The social group worker asks the question, Why do group members think as they do? And where unacceptable behavior springs from the delinquent's attitude towards society, the group worker may ask, How can the delinquent be induced to change his mind?
