Manford H. Kuhn founded the branch of sociological social psychology referred to as the Iowa School. Kuhn's approach put an emphasis on empirical techniques that could be used to investigate and generalize about human interaction and cognition. While Kuhn conceptualized social structure as being created, maintained, and altered through social interaction, he also thought of social structure as providing constraints on social action. His most recognized empirical contribution, the Twenty Statements Test, equips social psychologists with a method for uncovering self‐identifications which exist because of the social roles people embody. Kuhn's work was not restricted to the realm of the self in social psychology. He published research on a variety of subjects in different publication outlets
