The experimental literature published by Canadian-based researchers in social psychology for the period of 1970-1979 was examined. The topics of study included attitude change, group processes, aggression, helping behaviour, impression formation, attribution, moral judgment, the social psychology of criminal justice, and discipline related issues. Contributions based on systematic empirical work and/or conceptual insights were noted especially in the areas of attitudes, aggression, moral judgment and the social psychology of criminal justice. Progress was achieved on historically traditional issues, as well as on new areas of concern. Unfortunately programmatic research constituted only a small portion of the reviewed literature. The review of the entire body of experimental literature did not reveal any distinctively Canadian issues but rather those of social psychologists in general.
