Introduction In addition to the obvious space restrictions, the representativity of the present review is also reduced by the following factors: (a) the prejudices of the present reviewers what they do and do not include as social psychology; and (b) information or communication barriers. Social psychology is conducted at different types of institution and at various places in Norway. The institutional go-between, however, is far from perfect. Hence the nationwide review has been kept to a minimum, and research conducted at the institutions at which the present reviewers belong are chosen for further illustrative presentation. Psychology in Norway is predominantly professionally clinical, traditionally individual-centred and psychoanalytically oriented. However, there have been strong tendencies recently to adopt more social oriented perspectives and approaches within almost every field of professional psychological activity. Activities conducted by psychologists in Norway which may reasonably be classified as social psychology, thus prove to represent a rich and mixed pattern. In accordance with the instructions for writing the present review, we will restrict ourselves to (a) education in social psychology; (b) research (oriented work) in social psychology; and (c) try not to describe the variety of relevant social psychology to be found in professional clinical psychology proper. This, however, will naturally not prohibit us from presenting the rapidly growing field of research in applied social psychology
