Social Psychology in PUCRS Post-Graduate Program and its Connections with Psico Journal

Abstract

This text presents a survey of themes and authors published in the Social Psychology field in the course of the forty years of existence of Psico journal. This effort is relevant because of the importance of that field for the consolidation of the Post-Graduate Program, especially from 1983, with the creation of the Graduate Specialization Course in Social Psychology, which made even more visible the necessity of production of knowledge by means of researches and their publication. Thereby, the processes of construction and fortification of the field in the Post-Graduate Program had – and has – in the Psico journal an important research source, as well as support for the processes of investment in research and socialization of the produced knowledge.
