Introduction
Social psychology has been interested in applying its knowledge base to solve problems of a practical nature. Recognized as the founder of empirically based social psychology, psychologist Kurt Lewin made three key points about how principles of social psychology can be used to help improve people's lives.

Explanation of Solution
Correct answer and explanation
The best answer is (C), in which the statement that is not one of Lewin's three key points is that some social problems prove so pressing that we should endeavor to solve them prior to conducting experiments. In his three main points about how to apply knowledge to solve practical problems, Lewin proposed that social psychological questions should be tested using the experimental method, experimental studies can be used to comprehend rudimentary psychological processes and form theories about social influence, and that such theories and methods can be used to resolve pressing social issues. However, we should never try to draw conclusions without conducting experiments.
Explanation for incorrect statements
Option (A) refers to social psychological questions being tested with the experimental method. However, this is indeed one of Lewin's three key points about how social psychologists should apply knowledge to solving practical problems. So, option (a) is incorrect.
Option (B) refers to experimental studies being used to understand psychological processes and to form theories about social influence. However, this is indeed one of Lewin's three key points about how social psychologists should apply their knowledge to solving practical problems. So, option (b) is incorrect.
Option (D) refers to social psychological theories and methods being used to address pressing social problems. However, this is actually another one of Lewin's three key points. So, option (d) is incorrect.
Therefore, the options (A), (B), and (D) are incorrect.

- Print Download Morality without God Last unit, you learned about how monotheistic religions of Islam, Judaism and Christianity, might contribute, or maybe not contribute, to world peace and happiness in ways that political institutions cannot. In this unit, a similar question is tabled. Western views of happiness are contrasted with non- Western views; however, the Western views of happiness in this unit are not derived or based on religion, but instead on social and historically defined norms. That is to say, the non-religious Western views of happiness are not moored in a principle, ground, or end that transcends human making and history. Instead, the views of happiness discussed in this unit were developed during the 18th century European Enlightenment.arrow_forwardDiscussion #8 Keynes' Prediction Did John Maynard Keynes prediction about leisure for his grandchildren come true?
