The sociology of knowledge approach to discourse (SKAD) is a social science research programme for studying discourse developed by Reiner Keller in order to analyze knowledge relationships and conditions in society.
 SKAD stems from the sociology of knowledge of Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luckmann who in the 1960s studied the processes involved in the social construction of generally accessible everyday knowledge in their defining work, "The Social Construction of Reality".
 Keller combines this approach with Michel Foucault's discourse theory, whose work responsible for the prominent role of discourse concepts in social science and inspired several approaches to discourse analysis in other scientific disciplines.
 As a comprehensive analytical perspective, SKAD has been applied in a number of empirical studies, not only within social science but also in disciplines that extend beyond its borders (e.g., in archaeology, Japanese studies, criminology, or in linguistics).
 SKAD is predominantly in use within German-speaking academia, though interest has recently been increasing in the English-speaking world.
Pi Gamma Mu or ΠΓΜ (from Πολιτικές Γνώσεως Μάθεται) is the oldest and preeminent honor society in the social sciences.
 It is also the only interdisciplinary social science honor society.
 It serves the various social science disciplines which seek to understand and explain human behavior and social relationships as well as their concomitant problems and issues.
 Pi Gamma Mu's constitution defines the social sciences to include the disciplines of history, political science, sociology, anthropology, economics, psychology, international relations, criminal justice, social work, social philosophy, history of education, and human geography.
 Membership is also extended to interdisciplinary social science fields that build on the core social science disciplines, such as business administration, education, cultural and area studies, public administration, and organizational behavior.
In social science, a social relation or social interaction is any relationship between two or more individuals.
 Social relations derived from individual agency form the basis of social structure and the basic object for analysis by social scientists.
 Fundamental inquiries into the nature of social relations feature in the work of sociologists such as Max Weber in his theory of social action.
The International Bibliography of the Social Sciences (IBSS) is a bibliography for social science and interdisciplinary research.
 The database focuses on the social science disciplines of anthropology, economics, politics and sociology, and related interdisciplinary subjects, such as development studies, human geography and environment and gender studies.
 It was established in 1951 and prepared by the Fondation Nationale des Sciences Politiques in Paris.
 Production was transferred to the London School of Economics in 1989, and then to ProQuest in 2010.
Chinese social relations are social relations typified by a reciprocal social network.
 Often social obligations within the network are characterized in familial terms.
 The individual link within the social network is known by "guanxi" (关系/關係) and the feeling within the link is known by the term "ganqing" (感情).
 An important concept within Chinese social relations is the concept of face, as in many other Asian cultures.
 A Buddhist-related concept is "yuanfen" (缘分/緣分).
Reconceptualizing India Studies, by S. N. Balagangadhara, is a book published in 2012 about the problems that the postcolonial studies, India studies and Indology are facing today, and the possible new directions for rejuvenating them.
 The emergence of the postcolonial scholarship had ingested a new life in the quest of the 'third world countries' to produce knowledge about themselves.
 However, over the years, postcolonial scholarship has become obsolete and is in need of a rejuvenation and rethought.
 This book is a stronger voice in the recent attempts to do this.
 This book avers that the post-colonial studies about India is, perhaps, unknowingly, promoting "the same old colonial ideas it had set out to debunk, lacking a original framework to study India from the Indian perspective the current model borrows the Oriental/colonial framework, thereby constraining the social science studies in India.
 The author of the book, S.N. Balagangadhara, here "urges his fellow-intellectuals from India to stop ‘mimicking’ western descriptions of India and to provide descriptions of themselves and their society against the background of their own culture.
 Although his book is addressed to Indian intellectuals, it ... reminds [the western social scientists and philosophers] ... that the social sciences as these have developed until now, cannot lay a claim to the predicate ‘science’ if and in so far their research-objects cannot escape from the scope of secularized Christian discourse."
The Department of Social Relations for Interdisciplinary Social Science Studies, more commonly known as the "Department of Social Relations" was an interdisciplinary collaboration among three of the social science departments at Harvard University (anthropology, psychology, and sociology) beginning in 1946.
 Originally, the program was headquartered in Emerson Hall at Harvard before moving to William James Hall in 1965.
 While the name "Social Relations" is often associated with the program's long-time chair and guiding spirit, sociologist Talcott Parsons, many major figures of mid-20th-century social science also numbered among the program's faculty, including psychologists Gordon Allport (personality and motivation), Jerome Bruner (cognitive psychology and narrative analysis), Roger Brown (social psychology and psycholinguistics), and Henry Murray (personality); anthropologists Clyde and Florence Kluckhohn (value orientations), John and Beatrice Whiting (cross-cultural child development), Evon Z. Vogt (comparative religion); and sociologist Alex Inkeles (Soviet studies and national character).
 Many of its graduate students also went on to be major figures in U.S. social sciences during the latter part of the twentieth century; their work tends towards strong interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary approaches.
Norbert Schwarz is Provost Professor in the Department of Psychology and the Marshall School of Business at the University of Southern California and a co-director of the USC Dornsife Mind and Society Center.
 He received a Ph.D. in sociology from the University of Mannheim, Germany (1980) and a "Habilitation" in psychology from the University of Heidelberg, Germany (1986).
 Schwarz taught at the University of Heidelberg from 1981 to 1992 and served as Scientific Director of ZUMA, now , an interdisciplinary social science research center(1987–1992).
 From 1993 to 2013, he worked at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, where he held appointments as the Charles Horton Cooley Collegiate Professor of Psychology in the Social Psychology program, Professor of Marketing at the Ross School of Business, Research Professor in the Program in Survey Methodology, and Research Professor at the Institute for Social Research.
 He was a Fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences (2000/01; 2009/10) and held visiting positions at universities in Europe (e.g., University of Wurzburg, Germany) and Asia (e.g., Hong Kong University of Science and Technology).
In Social Science, Methodological Nationalism is a term used to describe an intellectual orientation and pattern in scholarly research that conceives of the nation-state as the sole unit of analysis or as a container for social processes.
 This term has been greatly developed by Andreas Wimmer and Nina Glick Schiller, who specifically define methodological nationalism as "understood as the assumption that the nation/state/society is the natural social and political form of the modern world".
 Methodological Nationalism has been identified in many social science subfields, such as anthropology, sociology, and the interdisciplinary field of migration studies.
 Methodological Nationalism, as a practice within Social Science, has been further critiqued by scholars such as Saskia Sassen, who contends that the nation-state and its borders are an insufficient unit of analysis and that the national is at times the "terrains of the global".
Henry Alexander Murray (May 13, 1893 – June 23, 1988) was an American psychologist at Harvard University.
 He was Director of the Harvard Psychological Clinic in the School of Arts and Sciences after 1930.
 Murray developed a theory of personality called personology, based on "need" and "press".
 Murray was also a co-developer, with Christiana Morgan, of the Thematic Apperception Test (TAT), which he referred to as "the second best-seller that Harvard ever published, second only to the Harvard Handbook of Music."

Question: What theory was developed by a member of the Department of Social Relations for Interdisciplinary Social Science Studies?
Answer: personology
