Experimental Social Science

Summary/Abstract: My editorial introduction to Selected Topics in Experimental Social Science − the collection of papers which is the bulk of this issue of Studia Sociologica − grew out of the address I delivered at the opening session of the International Symposium on Experimental Research in the Social Sciences, Cracow, June 12−13, 2015. I extended my introductory presentation so much that it turned into a full-size article combining metatheoretical reflections on theory and experiment in empirical sciences with information on laboratory experiments which were done by the Chair of Research on Group Processes from 1989 until the untimely death of Professor Jacek Szmatka (1950−2001), the founder of that research centre which no longer exists at the Jagiellonian University.
