This volume has been turned out by the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues. The subject was one chosen by the membership. The Introduction gives the following motif and plan for the book: “It is our belief that the scholarship of our time which magnifies the integration phases of its growth will be more fruitful than that which confines itself to the advancement of the differentiation process.” “The viewpoints represented by the contributors differ not only in their technical affiliations, but also in their general social attitudes, which range all the way from undisguised proletarian sympathies to marked conservative positions.” “The spirit which animated the editors in organizing this Yearbook may loosely be described as scientific humanism.” “The present Yearbook is edited from a pro-labor standpoint.”
The volume is divided into five parts; a—Industrial Conflict and Community Organization, b—Individual Tensions, Needs, and Satisfactions, c—Causes of Group Identification, d—Efforts to Eliminate Conflicts, e—Editorial Summary. There are twenty-four chapters by as many authors. There are name and subject indices, the former listing over two hundred names. It is impossible to review such a volume in detail. Those interested in Industrial Conflict will utilize the volume as something of a source book. An innovation is a business reply envelope that comes with the volume and in which the reader is solicited for critical opinion.
