Participation in Social Action.

Comments on the M. Krim article (see record 1963-04092-001), which discusses the participation of psychologists in demonstrations and social activism. While it is held to be acceptable for psychologists to participate in these actions as individuals, the author argues that it is not acceptable for psychologists to participate as psychologists, with explicit or implicit indication that psychological science is responsible for the social or political views of the psychologist.
