| Unknown origins of Czech social psychology. Otakar
Machotka: The function of unconscious agents in social behaviour |
| Although it is generally considered that the
study of social psychology in the former Czechoslovakia
commenced in the 1960s, the author
here establishes the importance of the virtually
forgotten earlier years of the discipline. The
first Czech student of social psychology was a
prominent sociologist and member of the Prague
sociological school, Otakar Machotka (1899-
1970), whose interest in matters psychological
commenced in the 1940s and whose research
into the subject continued during his period of
exile in America in the 1950s and 1960s. Machotka’s
recently discovered post-war manuscript
on the subject of unconscious agents in
social behaviour, which is published in extenso
here, reveals the original and innovative character
of the author’s approach; at the same time, it
offers an important testimony to the epoch both
in terms of the discipline itself and the wider
society. The erstwhile unknown manuscript also
contains the first stage of Machotka’s struggle
for an explanation for quisling behaviour during
the Second World War, which he later published
in his 1964 book |
