[19/20, 7] This paper deals, as the title indicates, with the problem of the interaction of 'psychology' and 'ideology'. In the broader sense, it has been attacked by Hegel, Marx, Pareto, Weber, Durkheim and Mannheim, in the narrower, by a number of other writers. The present paper, is, in effect, an attempt to throw some light on this standing problem of the social and historical sciences, by reducing it to manageable proportions. This is done by restricting inquiry to a circumscribed case of such interaction as we meet it in the institutional field. Accordingly, attention is focused on divergence of actual motives of individual participating in a institution – a psychological factor, from their motives as assumed on the part of the institution in question – an ideological factor. Such a specific investigation may yield the clue to the solution of the wider problem. Apart from the specific results which it may yield, such a line of investigations may offer a clue to the solution of the wider problem.
The argument is mainly concerned with the formal aspects of such an approach. No general theory of institutional change is intended. The application to market-economy is incidental (6 & 8) and is merely meant to serve as an illustration.
This approach to the problem of the relations of psychology and ideology, it is claimed (1) is independent of specific psychological assumptions; (2) may offer an avenue for a theory of social change, which does not rely on the assumption of antecedent changes occurring outside the system; and (3) should therefore facilitate sociological research, theoretical as well as empirical.

- ↑ See explanation on 41/07.
- ↑ Since presentations of the two versions are very similar, and since the archive 19/20 has no date, we can reasonably think that the pages in 19/20 are a first version of the text with the same title, found in 41/07. That's why I merge both in one text. -- Santiago Pinault
