与人类社会本身一样古老，谣言在战争和萧条中，在和平与繁荣中蓬勃发展。它们为什么存在？他们满足了什么样的动机？它们能被科学地理解，并可能被控制吗？戈登·W哈佛大学社会关系系心理学教授奥尔波特和心理学讲师利奥·波兹曼对其中一些问题提出了答案。他们试图说明谣言的基本规律。这些因素，如投影，扭曲，和自我辩护进行了讨论，并说明与案例材料。这项研究部分基于两位作者即将出版的新书《谣言心理学》。
As old as human society itself, rumors have flourished in wars and depressions, in peace and prosperity. Why do they exist? What motives do they satisfy? Can they be scientifically understood, and possibly controlled?Gordon W. Allport, Professor of Psychology in the Department of Social Relations, and Leo Postman, Instructor of Psychology, both at Harvard University, present answers to some of these questions. They seek to state the basic law of rumor. Such factors as projection, distortion, and self-justification are discussed, and illustrated with case material. The study is based in part on the authors' forthcoming book, entitled The Psychology of Rumor.
