Abstract
This study analyzed how the Social Question (SQ) appears in the productions of Brazilian Social Psychology (SP). A narrative review of the literature with non-systematic searches of articles, books and academic productions in general that approached SQ in the Brazilian context was conducted based on the various theoretical references of the Brazilian PS. The approach to SQ was underscored by its immanence and relevance in the constitution of our reality, both quantitatively and qualitatively, traversed by the following factors: (a) transversalization of SQ with its dissolution in supposedly autonomous social problems that are, in fact, its various manifestations; (b) polysemy of the concept coupled with different meanings and forms of approach and their consequences (individualization, subjectivation, individual responsabilization, etc.); (c) or even a lack of familiarity of a large part of the Brazilian SP with it as an analytical concept that expresses reality. There is, therefore, a need for greater incorporation of SQ, its expressions and mediations as object of study and practice in the SP reverberating in the epistemes and methods that serve to ensure to the SP an understanding of reality that is focused and aims to intervene.
