The Behavioral and Social Sciences: Achievements and Opportunities
- Share to:
This is a report on scientific frontiers in the behavioral and social sciences —leading research questions and fundamental problems—and on the new resources needed to work on them. This volume is a successor to two earlier studies by the Committee on Basic Research in the Behavioral and Social Sciences. In one, Behavioral and Social Science: Fifty Years of Discovery (1986), we scanned the work of the past, identifying specific lines of accumulated knowledge and broad shifts in emphasis since the 1933 report of the President's Research Committee on Social Trends. In the other, Behavioral and Social Science Research: A National Resource (1982), we considered particular cases and presented our judgments concerning the present value, significance, and social utility of basic research in these disciplines.
