This paper explores the disciplinary status of social psychology through an analysis of the history of the boundary relations of psychology, sociology, and social psychology. After outlining some research on the nature of scientific disciplines, on the role of rhetoric in the constitution of disciplines, and on "boundary work," I consider the singular importance of social psychology as a discipline for the analysis of boundary relations, examining its units of analysis and its "disciplining." The boundaries of the disciplines of social psychology were seen as fluid, contingent, local, and contestable, reflecting the thematic preoccupations, disciplinary origins, and meta-theoretical commitments of social psychologists, of the parent disciplines, and of those who represent disciplinary practices.
本文通过分析心理学、社会学和社会心理学边界关系的历史，探讨社会心理学的学科地位。在概述了一些关于科学学科性质、修辞在学科构成中的作用以及“边界工作”的研究之后，我认为社会心理学作为一门分析边界关系的学科具有独特的重要性，审视了其分析单位及其“学科化”。社会心理学各学科的边界被视为流动的、偶然的、局部的且有争议的，反映了社会心理学家、母学科以及代表学科实践的那些人的主题关注点、学科起源和元理论承诺。
