This paper investigates three conflicting reconstructions of the historical relationship between personality and social psychology and addresses questions they raise regarding the subdisciplinary status of personality in the 1920s and the way in which the field gradually emerged as a separate area of psychology. Contesting claims that Floyd Allport first connected social psychology to a separate "branch" of personality psychology in the 1920s, I argue that he drew upon earlier work of psychologists and sociologists who treated personality as a central topic of social psychology. I compare Floyd Allport's views with those of Gordon Allport, who endeavored to establish personality as a separate subdiscipline.
本文探讨了关于人格与社会心理学历史关系的三种相互冲突的重构,并解决了它们所引发的有关20世纪20年代人格子学科地位以及该领域如何逐渐成为心理学一个独立领域的问题。对于那种认为弗洛伊德·奥尔波特在20世纪20年代首次将社会心理学与人格心理学的一个独立“分支”联系起来的观点,我提出了质疑,我认为他借鉴了早期心理学家和社会学家的研究成果,他们将人格视为社会心理学的核心主题。我将弗洛伊德·奥尔波特的观点与戈登·奥尔波特的观点进行了比较,后者致力于将人格确立为一个独立的子学科。
