Two fundamentally different research approaches to the study of social behavior are represented in the logico-empirical and the discursive traditions, which have now existed side by side for some time, with little constructive interaction. In this article, we address some of the issues raised by this situation, with particular focus on how the laboratory setting has been and could be used. We propose to redefine the laboratory as an encycIema, a place for the staging of dramatic reconstructions of social episodes in which various psychological phenomena are discursively produced, such as inter group attitudes, conformity, changes of mind, and so on. Of course, this is not a new idea. What is new, we believe, is the consequential project of reinterpreting laboratory studies of the past according to this interpretation. It might even be possible to use the possibility of such interpretations as a criterion for deciding whether or not to accept the results of an experiment into the corpus of established knowledge and how that knowledge is to be categorized
