Social Psychology has many definitions, theories and objects of study. In this dissertation, based on Actor-Network Theory, we argue that these are not different aspects or attributes of a single object, but elements that help to perform different versions of this object. They are, therefore, elements that make Social Psychologies different, although related to each other. They produce a multiple Social Psychology, which is more than one and, at the same time, less than many. To build this argument, we read and reread textbooks on Social Psychology that were available in two reference libraries. After an initial approach to those books, we observed that many of them talk about the reference crisis that assailed Social Psychology in the 1970s. Therefore, we decided to look for materials to help us tell these histories better. As a next step, we selected two master and two doctoral dissertations in the area, since this kind of work tends to describe the procedures used with more details. Finally, we looked up academic texts and public domain documents related to the creation of the Specialist Title in Social Psychology. We treated all those materials not only as texts , but as materialities that produce effects, relate to each other, articulate with other texts, with other practices. That is, we treated them as materialities that produce certain Social Psychology realities. In doing so, we strived to call attention to the possibility of ordinating and coordinating reality in different ways, of recognizing that there are multiple and diverse actants in a discipline and of making a Social Psychology that searches for complex connections that articulate humans and non-humans and perform multiple realities
