ABSTRACT
Social psychology shares with other social and policy sciences an interest in understanding how to motivate cooperative behavior on the part of the people within groups, organizations, and societies. In particular, the social sciences are united by an interest in organizational design. We all want to understand how to structure social situations so as to most effectively promote cooperative behavior among the people within them. As a result of this common interest, there are considerable mutual benefits to be gained from bridging among social psychology, economics, organizational psychology, law, political science, and management.
