The European criticism of the Americanization of social psychology holds it (mainly against Floyd Allport) that it was a mistake to give up the tradition of collective psychology (Völkerpsychologie, national characterology, collective representations, mass psychology) in the first third of the 20th century, and - in the spirit of individualism - to concentrate on the individual and the individual's social interactions in research. Reviewing the history of the discipline, however, it can be seen that research has never shifted to either extreme permanently, variable and alternating attention has always been paid to the individual and to society as a whole. Actually, 'methodological individualism' did not prevent, in fact, it contributed to the production of well founded social psychological findings both in the area of cognitive processes in society and in the field of emotional dynamics of society, as illustrated by the 7 -7 main topics of the present study. According to the prognosis of the author, after a period of individual processes of social information, the study of societal groups and their affective relationships will come to the fore in social psychological research.

The theory of Béla Hamvas on Hungarian national character is one of the less known aspects of his oeuvre concentrating upon the question of self-redemption with the help of ancient esoteric wisdom hidden in the holy books of different world religions. The paper puts the conception of Hamvas concerning national character into the interwar Hungarian and European context giving special emphasis to the German thought. The main hypothesis that national characterology was a reaction to the modernity-crisis of the interwar period that culminated in totalitarianism. Hamvas wasn’t an exception to the rule in this respect: his national characterology had been intertwined with his cultural criticism: the core of his theory was the resacralization of soulless, profaniszed modernity. This is true for the theories of László Németh, János Kodolányi and Sándor Karácsony.
