Abstract

This article examines the psychological commitment of the United Nations Educational, Scientific & Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Three sections in the primary organization of UNESCO are central in discharging UNESCO's psychological commitment: the Social Sciences section, the Education section and the section dealing with Mass Media of Communication such as the film, the radio and the press. The Social Sciences Sub-Commission presented the bulk of the essentially psychological projects. The Sub-Commission distinguished what may be described as a broad field of tension centering around three interconnected groups of world problems: those relating to nationalism and internationalism; those relating to population; and those relating to technological progress.
