According to social constructionism, social psychologists do not formulate universal theories because people conform to culturally and historically changeable influences, and the phenomena and processes investigated by social psychology are specific and unique. In opposition to this position, a case of a fully universal theory is analyzed, as well as examples of several other theories that are - in the light of research outcomes, especially of the cross-cultural comparisons - only historical generalizations, or their universality is incomplete. Possibilities are discussed of separating time and space limitations from the theories with the help of: (1) identification of the described commonalities’ universal determinants; (2) ad hoc formulation of more general assertions; (3) indication of new relations between theories.

The usefulness of historical comparisons in social psychology is limited because, first, they are not based on experimental tests of hypotheses, and second, the historical sources used usually are not sufficiently cred- ible and present cases that are not representative for relevant historical periods (epochs). Such comparisons serve various goals, but mainly they act as a supplement to cross-cultural comparisons which help assess the universality of theories. In order to increase the usefulness of historical comparisons, it is necessary to diversify the analyzed historical contexts and, if possible, to draw cases for comparison from various, rela- tively isolated systems of phenomena.

In this answer to comments on my target article, social psychology was presented as a nomothetical science. This science needs general, universally accurate theories that will take into account various psychological universals. Sometimes such theories possess features similar to “the theories of the middle range”, whose status and tasks are different in experimental social psychology and in sociology.
