The lecture//talk delivered at the special General Assembly of the Psychological Association continues the fact-finding elucidation of the past of psychology in Hungary. It systematically overviews the forces present in the consecutive eight developmental stages of Hungarian society restricting the development of psychology and the different barriers it posed from the 1920s onwards, after the Second World War up until the decade after the political transformation. The science that has established itself at universities as well as within the Academy was successful in battling contra-selective forces. This fact is well represented by the symmetrical eight positive factors, among others the success of Hungarian scientists abroad, the promoting views and attitudes within psychology in Hungary, the healthy generational composition of the field, its publications, reforms regarding training and the mission of the Hungarian Psychological Association.

Sándor Imre, professor of pedagogy realized in the 1920's the need of a distinct institute for psychology at the University of Szeged. In 1926 he submitted his proposal for the new institute of psychology to the Faculty of Humanities. His initiative was supported enthusiastically by Bartók György Málnási, professor of philosophy. On 18 December, 1929, Kuno Klebelsberg, minister of education founded the Pedagogy-Psychology Institute at the University of Szeged. Klebelsberg appointed Hildebrand Dezso Várkonyi (1888-1971), a Benedictine priest teacher as head of the new institute. With this event the first institute of psychology was founded in Hungary. This paper follows through the institutional history of psychology at the University of Szeged from the foundation of the institute until the present.

The present paper provides a comprehensive and exhaustive summary of the cross-cultural and cultural psychological research that has been carried out in Hungary since 1960 up to the present based on all research papers published in Hungarian psychological and psychiatric journals during this period. The analysis takes a chronological and thematic approach. It presents how the gradual opening up of the country made it possible for Hungarian and foreign research groups to establish scientific cooperation and carry out comparative research. It pays special attention to the social-political changes at the end of the eighties that resulted in a rapid increase of the number of research topics, number of countries researched and the number of researchers involved in cross-cultural and cultural comparative research. The main goal of the paper is to put together the accumulated knowledge in the field and provide a solid foundation to the birth of cultural comparative psychology in Hungary as an autonomous psychological discipline with long tradition.

Contemporary social psychology makes rich use of theories and methods from neuroscience. The new discipline of social neuroscience also enjoys much popularity. In this article, I show historical and intellectual reasons behind the interest of social psychologists in biological explanations, and consider the role of such explanations in our discipline. I suggest that the background of the current acceptance of biological approaches lies in the weakening of the computer metaphor that sharply separated the mind and the brain, and in an improved understanding of the necessity for the multilevel analysis of social behavior. I also emphasize the development of powerful new technologies, conceptual advances, and an improvement in inferences about psychological variables from biological data. Due to these advances, psychophysiological research helps us identify new phenomena and solve theoretical debates in social psychology. Throughout this article, I also show dangers that come from naïve interpretation of physiological data, and highlight the uniqueness of psychological level of analysis. In conclusion, I state that social psychology and neuroscience not only need, but might be necessary for each other.
