Abstract

In this research we present an analysis concerning the scientific collaboration of social and personality psychology, shaped from the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology (JPSP) since its beginning in 1965 until the year 2000. We made it from a double prospective: a bibliometric cuantitative analysis and a descriptive historical analysis of social and personality psychology. Moreover, we present an analysis of the insti tutional cooperation and the invisible colleges of the "Small Worlds" theory. We analyse the most significative theories and authors to its historical development in some scientific subjects and the most important areas in which they are developed. From a bibliometric prospective, usual options to make a bibliometric research are studied.
