Aportaciones de la psicología social a la ciencia de la comunicación

Abstract

This text presents a brief conceptual revision of Social Psychology as scientific historical source of the Communication Science. Starting off from the proposal of the Grupo hacia una Comunicología Posible (GUCOM), in the text the main conceptual relations between Communication and Social Psychology are settled top-down, as two fields of knowledge that, although apparently separated, have much in common. In a first moment relations between interaction and communication are established, being interaction the dimension more akin to interpersonal bonds. Then a synthetic map of the concepts, ideas and basic theories of Social Psychology are presented. The third moment is dedicated to the interaction concept, which is exposed from a psycho-social approach, in order to conclude with a presentation of the conceptual relations between the disciplines discussed in this article.
