Series

ww.keyreadings.com/social The aim of the series is to make available to senior undergraduate and graduate students key articles in each area of social psychology in an attractive, user-friendly format. Many professors want to encourage their students to engage directly with research in their fields, yet this can often be daunting for students coming to detailed study of a topic for the first time.

Moreover, declining library budgets mean that articles are not always readily available, and course packs can be expensive and time-consuming to produce.

Key Readings in Social Psychology aims to address this need by providing comprehensive volumes, each one of which is edited by a senior and active researcher in the field. Articles are carefully chosen to illustrate the way the field has developed historically as well as current issues and research directions.

Each volume has a similar structure that includes: • An overview chapter, as well as introductions to sections and articles • Questions for class discussion • Annotated bibliographies • Full author and subject indices • The article How to Read a Journal Article in Social Psychology, especially prepared for this series by Christian H. Jordan and Mark P. Zanna.

Social Psychology: A Modular Course

Introductory Psychology FUNDAMENTALS OF Introductory Psychology

Psychology

Michael W. Eysenck, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK “This must be surely one of the most comprehensive psychology textbooks in existence. It covers the diverse and multi-leveled discipline that psychology is and it does so in a highly sophisticated yet also readable and interesting way. I appreciated the historical perspective, and the focus on long-standing issues that perplexed and fascinated psychological scientists over the years, and found new framings with the introduction of new methods and techniques of inquiry.” - Arie W. Kruglanski, University of Maryland

This textbook is also accompanied by a comprehensive program of resources for both students and instructors, which is available free to qualifying adopters. The resources include a webbased Student Learning Program, as well as chapter-by-chapter lecture slides and an interactive chapter-by-chapter multiple-choice question test bank.

“In my opinion Eysenck is the finest textbook author in the world at this level.The sheer breadth of material with which he is comfortable is most impressive, and he has a unique ability to communicate complex and contemporary material so as to make it accessible and interesting.” - Matt Jarvis, Southampton and Keele Universities

Combining exceptional content, abundant pedagogical features, and a lively full-color design, Fundamentals of Psychology is an essential resource for anyone new to the subject and more particularly those beginning undergraduate courses.

Bestselling!

Social Psychology 3rd Edition Eliot R. Smith, University of Indiana, USA Diane M. Mackie, University of California at Santa Barbara, USA “In my view, Social Psychology, 3rd Edition, by Smith & Mackie, has many advantages over its competitors.

It presents, and consistently reiterates, themes that operate across areas of social psychology, giving social psychology a “unified” feel that is often absent from other textbooks. Even more importantly, this is a text that does not treat social psychology as if it were intellectual candy, but instead presents a meaty, comprehensive, sophisticated, and nuanced view of the field. It manages to maintain intellectual rigor while maintaining a high standard of readability, often conveying and contextualizing findings in terms of engaging real examples. In my opinion, this book is an excellent way to introduce people to the science of social psychology!”

- John J. Skowronski, Northern Illinois University “This book puts an end to the notion that social psychology constitutes a collection of loosely related topics. In a revolutionary organization of the field, Smith & Mackie identify the fundamental principles of human motivation, cognition, and behavior that form a common undercurrent for all of social psychology. Not only does this integrative approach present a more coherent view of the field, but it also encourages students to understand social psychology, rather than simply remember the facts.” - Jeffrey W. Sherman, University of California, Davis Social Psychology, 3rd Edition provides the only conceptually integrated undergraduate introduction to social psychology, offering a clear synthesis of the cognitive and social, and individual and group influences that shape social behavior.

This textbook offers comprehensive coverage of classic, contemporary, and emerging topics in social psychology.

The focus is on underlying, unifying principles that operate across topics, rather than treatment of each topic in isolation, a focus that reflects the increasingly crossdisciplinary developments within and beyond psychology.

An emphasis on research carried out in different parts of the world and a sensitivity to cross-cultural perspectives

highlight the internationalization of the field in recent years. In addition, the text offers real-world applications of scientific principles to areas such as marketing, law, education, and health. Throughout, the discussion conceptually integrates the pervasive impact of social groups on all aspects of social behavior.

Extensive feedback from reviews of prior editions has helped make this third edition comprehensive, contemporary, and relevant to social psychology students’ and instructors’ needs. Effective and helpful pedagogical features include chapter summaries, margin glossaries, tables, graphs, and photographs.

An attractive student-friendly format, and a narrative by two leading scholars that is both lively and rigorous, make this text one of the most respected and acclaimed on the market.

This edition is supported by an extensive online Social Psychology Student Learning Program (SocSLP) and CDROM based Instructor Resources, both of which are free of charge to qualifying adopters.

James R. Larson Jr., University of Illinois at Chicago, USA

Bernard A. Nijstad University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands Series: Social Psychology: A Modular Course “Bernard Nijstad is one of the “young lions” of this field and has made substantial contributions to a number of the content areas covered in the book.

Group Performance handles the conceptual and empirical material very well, leaving the reader with a good sense of what we currently know about the psychology of behaviour in and by groups. Overall an excellent introduction to the area.” - R. Scott Tindale, Loyola University, Chicago “Bernard Nijstad, a brilliant and enthusiastic researcher, provides a comprehensive, cutting-edge perspective on a fascinating area of social psychology. This textbook will be a classic. I seriously could not stop reading it until the very last page. Highly recommended!”

- Andreas Mojzisch, University of Goettingen, Germany People interact and perform in group settings in all areas of life.

Organizations and businesses are increasingly structuring work around groups and teams. Every day, we work in groups such as families, friendship groups, societies and sports teams, to make decisions and plans, solve problems, perform physical tasks, generate creative ideas, and more.

Group Performance outlines the current state of social psychological theories and findings concerning the performance of groups. It explores the basic theories surrounding group interaction and development and investigates how groups affect their members. Bernard Nijstad discusses these issues in relation to the many different tasks that groups may perform, including physical tasks, idea generation and brainstorming, decision making, problem solving and making judgments and estimates.

Finally, the book closes with an in-depth discussion of the context in which groups interact and perform.

Offering an integrated approach, with particular emphasis on the interplay between group members, the group task, interaction processes and context, this book provides a state-of-the-art overview of social psychological theory and research. It will be highly valuable to undergraduates, graduates and researchers in social psychology, organizational behavior and business.

This volume critically evaluates more than a century of empirical research on the effectiveness of small, task-performing groups, and offers a fresh look at the costs and benefits of collaborative work arrangements. The central question taken up by this book is whether – and under what conditions – interaction among group members leads to better performance than would otherwise be achieved simply by combining the separate efforts of an equal number of people who work independently. This question is considered with respect to a range of tasks (idea-generation, problem solving, judgment, and decision-making) and from several different process perspectives (learning and memory, motivation, and member diversity).

As a framework for assessing the empirical literature, the book introduces the concept of ‘synergy.’ Synergy refers to an objective gain in performance that is attributable to group interaction.

Further, it distinguishes between weak and strong synergy, which are performance gains of different magnitude. The book highlights the currently available empirical evidence for both weak and strong synergy, identifies the conditions that seem necessary to produce each, and suggests where the search for synergy might best be directed in the future.

The book is at once a high-level introduction to the field, a review of the field’s history, and a scholarly critique of the current state-of-art. As such, it is essential reading for graduate students, advanced undergraduate students, and researchers interested in group dynamics generally – and small group performance in particular.

CONTENTS 1. Introduction: Mapping the Territory. 2. Tasks: What Groups Do. 3. Idea Generation: Creative Thinking in Groups. 4. Problem Solving: Performing Tasks with Correct Solutions. 5. Judgment Calls: Performing Tasks with Hard-to-demonstrate Correct Answers. 6. Decision Making: Selecting from Among Discrete Choice Alternatives. 7. Learning and Memory: Acquiring, Retaining, and Retrieving Knowledge in Groups. 8. Motivation: Energizing and Directing Behavior in Groups. 9.

Minority Influence and Innovation Antecedents, Processes and Consequences Robin Martin, Aston University, UK Miles Hewstone, Oxford University, UK (Eds.) Social groups form an important part of our daily lives. Within these groups, pressures exist which encourage the individual to comply with the group’s viewpoint. This influence, which creates social conformity, is known as ‘majority influence’, and is the dominant process of social control. However, there also exists a ‘minority influence’ which emerges from a small subsection of the group and is a dynamic force for social change.

Minority Influence and Innovation seeks to identify the conditions under which minority influence can prevail, to change established norms, stimulate original thinking and help us to see the world in

Intergroup Relations The Role of Motivation and Emotion Sabine Otten, University of Groningen, The Netherlands; Kai Sassenberg, University of Tuebingen, Germany; Thomas Kessler, University of Exeter, UK (Eds.)

belongingness, etc.), the present book focuses not only on the question of what motivates intergroup behavior, but especially on how the motivation of intergroup behavior functions.

The book focuses on the role of emotion and motivation in the development of intergroup conflict, social exclusion, tolerance and other group-related phenomena. The first section demonstrates how classical theories in the field have been further developed, enriched, and more sophisticatedly tested over the years. The second section summarizes research on affect and memory and develops a group-based self-regulation approach. The third section examines several specific emotions as motivational forces of intergroup behavior, and the fourth section looks at factors of intergroup relations that lead to social change, and details the implementations and evaluations of intergroup tolerance programs.

simultaneously take into account both the attitudes, beliefs, emotions, and actions of the different groups that shape the nature of intergroup relations. Understanding how members of different groups interact is critical beyond the value of understanding how majority groups behave and how minority groups respond in isolation. Indeed, as the book exemplifies, groups interpret their interaction differently, experiencing different social realities; approach interactions with different goals; and engage each other with different, and often non-compatible, means or strategies.

These different realities, goals, and strategies can produce misunderstanding, suspicion, and conflict even when initial intentions are positive and cooperative.

The book will be of interest to professionals and students in social psychology, sociology, social work, education, political science, and conflict management, as well as scholars, students, and practitioners interested in anti-bias education and prejudice reduction techniques and strategies.

Interpersonal Processes The New Psychology of Leadership Identity, Influence and Power S. Alexander Haslam, University of Exeter, UK; Stephen D. Reicher, University of St. Andrews, UK; Michael J. Platow, Australian National University, Canberra, Australia This landmark text provides an overview of the new understanding of leadership that has emerged in the last two decades in social and organizational psychology, as part of the development of selfcategorization and social identity theories.

The New Psychology of Leadership advances the argument that leadership is a group process grounded in the creation, management and control of group identity – a shared sense of ‘us’.

Written in an accessible and engaging manner, The New Psychology of Leadership discusses multiple aspects of leadership.

It examines leadership as the product of dynamic principles reflecting the variable and flexible nature of identity; the active role of leaders in shaping and changing social identities and intergroup relations; the distinction between power and influence and the role of legitimacy; the place of justice, fairness and consideration in binding members to the leader; and the basis of leadership charisma and vision.

The book will appeal to academics, practitioners and students in social and organizational psychology and any other discipline or profession interested in leadership, influence and power. It should also be of interest to members of the reading public who have an interest in these issues.

Interpersonal Processes

The Handbook of Relationship Initiation is the first volume to focus specifically on the very beginning stage of relationships – their origin. In this Handbook, leading scholars on relationships review the literature on various processes related to the initiation of relationships: how people meet, communicate for the first time, and begin to define themselves as being in a relationship. Topics include attraction, mate selection, influence of social networks on relationship initiation, initiation over the internet, hook-ups among young adults, and flirting and opening gambits. In addition, the dark side of relationship initiation is considered, including unwanted relationship pursuit and barriers to relationship initiation including social anxiety.

Interpersonal Processes

Series: Frontiers of Social Psychology The study of the relationship between the person and the situation has had a long history in psychology. Many theories of personality are set on an interpersonal stage and many social phenomena are played out differently as the cast of characters change. At times the study of persons and situations has been contentious; however, recent interest in process models of personality and social interaction has focused on the ways people navigate, influence, and are influenced by their social worlds.

Personality and Social Behavior contains a series of essays on topics where a transactional analysis of the person and situation has proved most fruitful. Contributions span the personality and social psychology spectrum and include such topics as new units in personality; neuroscience perspectives on interpersonal personality; social and interpersonal frameworks for understanding the self and self-esteem; and personality process analyses of romantic relationships, prejudice, health, and leadership.

This volume provides essential reading for researchers with an interest in this core topic in social psychology and may also be used as a text on related upper-level courses.

This book provides an overview of the self-esteem construct and defines it, reviews its history, explains its development, draws comparisons of it across gender, racial, and ethnic groups, and discusses its significance in counseling and therapy. It is organized around the five developmental stages of life: childhood, adolescence, early adulthood, midlife, and late life. Each chapter incorporates principles of self-esteem to target an identified selfesteem issue at one of these developmental stages and provide intervention strategies suitable for enhancing or changing selfesteem.

Attitudes & Persuasion Attitudes Insights from the New Implicit Measures Richard E. Petty, Russell H. Fazio, Ohio State University, USA; Pablo Briñol, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Spain (Eds.) This book tackles a subject that has captured the imagination of many researchers in the field: attitudes.

Although the field has always recognized that people’s attitudes could be assessed in different ways, from direct self-reports to disguised observations of behavior, the past decade has shown several new approaches to attitude measurement.

Despite the fact that there is no monolithic point of view with respect to implicit attitudes or measures, this book proves informative in capturing the exciting developments that have taken place over the past decade in the study of attitudes, and point the way for future exploration. Although researchers in the field have long used physiological measures, more sophisticated approaches have now been developed that rely on brain imaging techniques to examine evaluative processes. This book addresses all of these new techniques, as well as the new wave of implicit measures and the contribution they have made to understanding attitudes and attitude change.

This volume will be an essential resource for students and researchers in social psychology with an interest in the core topic of attitudes.

Consumer Psychology Arena Social Psychology of Consumer Behavior Consumer Psychology

Michaela Wänke (Ed.) Universität Basel, Switzerland Series: Frontiers of Social Psychology This book brings together the most promising and theoretically fruitful research developments by internationally renowned scholars, whose work is at the cutting edge of research.

Experts from both fields – social psychology and consumer behavior – provide an informed, up-to-date overview, from an original integrative perspective.

The aim of this volume is two-fold. On the one hand, the application of social psychology to consumer behavior is meant to broaden the horizon of social psychologists. On the other hand, students and researchers of consumer behavior are offered an advanced account of relevant theories tailored to their interests. While the range of topics is rather broad – including the construal of judgments and decisions, affective and cognitive feelings, social and media influences, and goals and self-regulation – each chapter is focused on one specific theoretical or methodological perspective and thereby gives a comprehensive and penetrative account of the relevant issues and the respective research.

Krugman Consumer Behavior and Advertising Involvement

The volume provides an invaluable resource to students, researchers, and instructors in social psychology, consumer psychology, consumer behavior, and marketing.

Social Cognition/Social Psychology of Emotions

Social Cognition Social Cognition The Basis of Human Interaction Fritz Strack, Universitat Würzburg, Germany Jens Förster, Universiteit Van Amsterdam, The Netherlands (Eds.) Series: Frontiers of Social Psychology Social cognition is an area of social psychology that has been flourishing over the past two decades. It has harnessed basic concepts from cognitive psychology and developed and refined them to explain human thinking, feeling, and acting in a social context.

Moreover, social cognition has integrated emotional influences and unconscious processes to reach a more complete understanding of social psychological phenomena.

In this volume, the reader will find a representative sample of outstanding research in the field of social cognition.

The chapters address its central themes, roughly organized along the temporal axis of information processing. They include basic operations like perception, categorization, representation, and judgmental inferences. Other chapters focus on issues like social comparison, emotion, language and culture. All of the contributors are internationallyrenowned experts who share with the reader their accounts of the research experience in each of their domains.

A Social Science Reader Monica Greco, Goldsmiths College, UK Paul Stenner, University of Brighton, UK (Eds.)

Are emotions becoming more conspicuous in contemporary life? Are the social sciences undergoing an an ‘affective turn’? This Reader gathers influential and contemporary work in the study of emotion and affective life from across the range of the social sciences. Drawing on both theoretical and empirical research, the collection offers a sense of the diversity of perspectives that have emerged over the last thirty years from a variety of intellectual traditions. Its wide span and trans-disciplinary character is designed to capture the increasing significance of the study of affect and emotion for the social sciences, and to give a sense of how this is played out in the context of specific areas of interest. The volume is divided into four main parts: universals and particulars of affect, embodying affect, political economies of affect and affect, power and justice.

Each main part comprises three sections dedicated to substantive themes, including emotions, history and civilization; emotions and culture;

Social Psychology of Emotions

emotions, selfhood and identity; emotions and the media; emotions and politics; emotions, space and place, with a final section dedicated to themes of compassion, hate and terror. Each of the twelve sections begins with an editorial introduction that contextualizes the readings and highlights points of comparison across the volume. Cross-national in content, the collection provides an introduction to the key debates, concepts and modes of approach that have been developed by social scientist for the study of emotion and affective life.

Self & Identity Narratives of Identity and Place

Self & Identity

Stephanie Taylor The Open University, UK Contemporary Western societies are marked by movement.

Traditional connections to birthplaces, home towns and countries are broken as people relocate and migrate, yet where we live remains significant in shaping who we are. This can have a special importance for women in terms of community and family change.

This book explores the changing meanings of place for our identities and life stories in the 21st Century, using an empirical approach developed in narrative and discursive psychology.

Stephanie Taylor introduces a theoretical and empirical approach to the study of identity, which follows the ‘discursive turn’ and ‘narrative turn’ in psychology. Place-related identities are investigated through the analysis of women’s talk. The book shows how commonsense meanings shape and limit people’s identity work to establish a connection to place. It argues that talk about place, and especially place of residence, enables a complex positioning of self and others in which identities of gender, class and national identity intersect. It explores ‘new’ identities of place, and the trouble which women encounter in their identity work around where they live.

Narratives of Identity and Place presents a unique and valuable integration of the popular methods of narrative and discourse analysis, compellingly demonstrating the value of these approaches for research on identity.

CONTENTS 1. The Meanings of Place for Identity. 2. Narrative and Construction in a Contemporary Identity Project. 3. Gender, Place and Identity. 4. Places I Remember: Memory and Continuity in a Life Narrative. 5. A Place for the Future? Trouble in Identity Work. 6. New Identities of Place?

Handbook of Approach and Avoidance Motivation Andrew J. Elliot University of Rochester, USA (Ed.) “Elliot’s Handbook is the A to Z of approach and avoidance. The list of authors reads like a ‘who’s who’ of the very best leaders in psychology and neuroscience today. The topics include brain mechanisms of fear and desire, basic elements of emotion and personality, evaluation and self-regulation, and social and achievement motives. Everything one could want in an up-to-date analysis of motivation and emotion is here. In short, the Handbook is sure to be required reading for anyone who wants to understand feelings or motives.”

“A clear understanding of the approach-avoidance distinction is as important in setting the scientific course for psychology as determination of the periodic table was for chemistry. This enormously ambitious book, containing work by the leading scholars in the field, is a landmark effort in reaching that goal.” Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Claremont Graduate University “Approach and avoidance motivation are central to key issues at all levels in the biobehavioral sciences. This Handbook brings all of these levels together for the first time, and does so in impressive fashion. It is a comprehensive, essential resource for all students of motivation in the social sciences, psychology, and neuroscience.” Richard J. Davidson, University of Wisconsin-Madison Of the many conceptual distinctions present in psychology today, the approach-avoidance distinction stands out as one of, if not the, most fundamental and basic. The distinction between approach and avoidance motivation has a venerable history, not only within but beyond scientific psychology, and the deep utility of this distinction is clearly evident across theoretical traditions, disciplines, and content areas. This volume is designed to illustrate and highlight the central importance of this distinction, to serve as a one-stop resource for scholars working in this area, and to facilitate integration among researchers and theorists with an explicit or implicit interest in approach and avoidance motivation.

The main body of this volume is organized according to seven broad sections that represent core areas of interest in the study of approach and avoidance motivation, including neurophysiology and neurobiology, and evaluative processes. Each section contains a minimum of four chapters that cover a specific aspect of approach and avoidance motivation. The broad applicability of the approach-avoidance distinction makes this Handbook an essential resource for researchers, theorists, and students of social psychology and related disciplines.

Social Identity 3rd Edition Richard Jenkins University of Sheffield, UK Series: Key Ideas This third edition builds on the international success of previous editions, offering an easy access critical introduction to social science theories of identity, for advanced undergraduates and postgraduates. All of the previous chapters have been updated and extra material has been added where relevant, for example, on globalization. Two new chapters have been added; one addresses the debate about whether identity matters, discussing, for example, Brubaker; the second reviews the postmodern approach to identity.

The text is informed by relevant topical examples throughout and, as with earlier editions, the emphasis is on sociology, anthropology and social psychology; on the interplay between relationships of similarity and difference; on interaction; on the categorization of others as well as self-identification; and on power, institutions and organizations.

Psychology of Self-Regulation Cognitive, Affective, and Motivational Processes Joseph P. Forgas, University of New South Wales, Australia; Roy F. Baumeister, Dianne F. Tice, Florida State University, USA (Eds.) Series: Sydney Symposium in Social Psychology The ability to regulate and control our behaviors is a key accomplishment of the human species, yet the psychological mechanisms involved in self-regulation remain incompletely understood. This book presents contributions from leading international researchers who survey the most recent developments in this fascinating area. The chapters shed new light on the subtle and often subconscious ways that the people seek to regulate their thoughts, feelings and behaviors in everyday social life. The contributions seek answers to such intriguing questions as: how can we improve our ability to control our actions? How do people make decisions about which goals to pursue? How do we maintain and manage goal-oriented behavior?

What happens when we run out of self-regulation resources? Can we match people and the regulatory demands of to specific tasks so as to optimize performance? What role does self-regulation play in sports performance, in maintaining successful relationships, and in managing work situations?

The book offers a highly integrated and representative coverage of this important field, and is suitable as a core textbook in advanced courses dealing with social behavior and the applications of psychology to real-life problems.

JOURNAL Selected for inclusion in the Social Science Citation Index!

Self and Identity The journal for the International Society for Self and Identity New EDITOR 2009 Mark Alicke, Ohio University, USA Work on self and identity has a special place in the study of human nature, as selfconcerns are arguably at the center of individuals’ striving for well-being and for making sense of one’s life. Life goals develop and are influenced by one’s view of what one is like, the way one would ideally like to be (or would like to avoid being), as well as one’s perceptions of what is feasible.

Furthermore, conceptions of self and the world affect how one’s progress towards these goals is monitored, evaluated,

redirected, re-evaluated, and pursued again. Thus, the “self” as a construct has far-reaching implications for behavior, self-esteem, motivation, experience of emotions and the world more broadly, and hence for interpersonal relationships, society, and culture.

Self and Identity is devoted to the study of these social and psychological processes of the self, including both its agentic aspects, as well as the perceived and construed aspects as reflected in its mental representations. The Journal aims to bring together work on self and identity undertaken by researchers across different subdisciplines within psychology (e.g., social, personality, clinical, development, cognitive), as well as across other social and behavioral disciplines (e.g., sociology, family studies, anthropology, neuroscience). Special emphasis is placed on theories and research that are generative in opening new terrain for future investigation. A second continual motivating goal of the journal, will be work that offers integration at the level of basic processes. The Journal publishes empirical articles of all lengths, and occasional theoretical pieces.

Two Sides to Every SelfProcess: The Pros and Cons Guest Editors: Virginia S.Y. Kwan and Lowell Gaertner Volume 8, Issues 2-3 April 2009: 208pp Hb: 978-1-84872-703-8: $79.95 Reflecting the importance of the self in optimal functioning, a vast literature on the value of different self-processes is accumulating.

Individual research reports, however, frequently present a onesided view, focusing either on the benefits or the liabilities of the self-process under study. A more complete understanding of both the benefits and liabilities of a self-process is essential because it profoundly shapes the conclusions of existing research and directions of future research. To that end, this Special Issue brings together leading researchers to present their unique perspectives on the benefits and liabilities of the self-process they study.

JOURNAL

Positive psychology is about scientifically informed perspectives on what makes life worth living. It focuses on aspects of the human condition that lead to happiness, fulfillment, and flourishing. It is devoted to basic research and professional application on states of optimal human functioning and fulfillment, and the facilitation and promotion of well-being.

Identity The Journal of the Society for Research on Identity Formation (SRIF) EDITOR Alan S. Waterman, The College of New Jersey, USA Identity is international and multidisciplinary in scope, and this cuttingedge journal provides a forum for identity theorists and researchers around the globe to share their ideas and findings regarding the problems and prospects of human selfdefinition. The unifying thread of these articles is “identity” in its various manifestations throughout the life course.

The operating assumption is that people in many parts of the world are struggling with aspects of their identities and that many of these problems transcend national, political, and cultural boundaries, taking on global proportions.

Social Psychology of Culture Theory, Research, and Application Robert S. Wyer, Jr., Hong Kong University; Chi-yue Chiu, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Ying-yi Hong, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA This volume contains contributions from twenty-four internationally known scholars covering a broad spectrum of interests in cross-cultural theory and research. This breadth is reflected in the diversity of the topics covered in the volume, which include theoretical approaches to crosscultural research, the dimensions of national cultures and their measurement, ecological and economic foundations of culture, cognitive, perceptual and emotional manifestations of culture, and bicultural and intercultural processes.

In addition to the individual chapters, the volume contains a dialog among fourteen experts in the field on a number of issues of concern in cross-cultural research, including the relation of psychological studies of culture to national development and national policies, the relationship between macro structures of a society and shared cognitions, the integration of structural and process models into a coherent theory of culture, how personal experiences and cultural traditions give rise to intra-cultural variation, whether culture can be validly measured by self-reports, the new challenges that confront cultural psychology, and whether psychology should strive to eliminate culture as an explanatory variable.

Symbolic Transformations The Mind in Movement Through Culture and Society Brady Wagoner (Ed.) Cambridge University, UK Series:Cultural Dynamics of Social Representation This book brings together scholars in the social sciences from around the world, to address the question of how mind and culture are related through symbols. Through symbols we feel, perceive, imagine, think, dream and remember; to understand the structure, function and development of symbols is to understand what it means to be human.

This book explores symbols through a number of theoretical lenses including semiotics, sociocultural psychology, psychoanalysis and social representations as well as through different levels of explanation: microgenetic, ontogenetic, sociogenetic and phylogenetic. Part 1 of the book constructs a theoretical foundation in semiotics for thinking about symbols.

Part 2 explores how experience is transformed through symbols – why we are moved by a particular political speech or movie, how bread and wine can taste like body and blood, and how our memories are forever changing. Part 3 focuses on symbols in ontogeny – in particular, in their relationship to play, language and art. And finally, Part 4 looks at identity and how it is constituted in social relationships through society’s symbols.

This broad interdisciplinary synthesis on the problem of symbols is an essential resource for anyone studying culture and mind from a dynamic perspective, including advanced students in the social sciences, psychology and semiotics, anthropology, communications and philosophy.

Cultural Issues in Psychology Andrew Stevenson Freelance author, UK Series: Foundations of Psychology: A Modular Course “This book is up-to-date, showing familiarity with contemporary debates within the discipline. It is also very readable, thoughtprovoking, and broad in its coverage. Difficult concepts are introduced in a gentle fashion, and the whole book should develop the students’ understanding and thinking about this fascinating area.” - Peter Banister, Manchester Metropolitan University How does where we come from influence the way we think, act and feel about ourselves and those around us? For generations psychologists have pondered the relationship between our cultural background and a range of psychological attributes, including how intelligent we are, how we choose partners, and how we bring up our children. Cultural Issues in Psychology will help students think about these kinds of issues from a global perspective.

The book begins by exploring some of the key controversies in the field of culture and psychology, along with some of the concepts that enable us to understand and participate in them. In examining such concepts as “Culture”, “Relativism” and “Ethnocentrism” from various perspectives, a series of burning issues from global psychology are explored. These include: • Should global research aim to uncover human universals or investigate diversity?

• Why does so much of the research we read about emerge from just a few regions of the world?

• What methods are used to conduct research in different cultures?

With insightful classroom activities included throughout, this book gives introductory-level psychology students access to a concise review of key research, issues, controversies and diverse approaches in the area of culture and psychology. This detailed, yet accessibly written, introductory text will also be useful to anyone interested in the application of global research to cognitive, developmental, social and abnormal psychology.

Social Psychology of Religion Religious Fundamentalism Global, Local and Personal Peter Herriot University of Surrey, UK “Peter Herriot has written a remarkably comprehensive study of fundamentalism around the world. His work is comprehensive, scholarly, yet wonderfully readable. Names and movements such as Al-Qaida, Gush Emunim, Sayeed Qutb and Jack Straw and the niqab are presented in provocative case studies that illuminate fundamentalism from a global, local, and personal perspective.”- Ralph W. Hood Jr., University of Tennessee at Chattanooga How does a religious fundamentalist come to embrace a counter-cultural world view?

Fundamentalism can be analyzed from a variety of perspectives. It is a type of belief system which enables individuals to make sense of their lives and provides them with an identity. It is a social phenomenon, in which strictly religious people act according to the norms, values, and beliefs of the group to which they belong. It is a cultural product, in the sense that different cultural settings result in different forms of fundamentalism. And it is a global phenomenon, in the obvious sense that it is to be found everywhere and also because it is both a reaction against, and also a part of, the globalizing modern world.

Religious Fundamentalism deals with all of these four levels of analysis, uniquely combining sociological and psychological perspectives, and relating them to each other. Each chapter is followed by a lengthy case study, and these range from a close textual analysis of President George W. Bush’s second inaugural speech through to a treatment of Al-Qaida as a global media event.

JOURNAL

International Journal for the Psychology of Religion EDITOR Raymond F.

Social Psychology of Politics Political Psychology Situations, Individuals, and Cases David P. Houghton, University of Central Florida, USA. “I had come to believe that I would never find a political psychology text that treated this rapidly developing field in a readerfriendly yet sophisticated way. David Patrick Houghton’s Political Psychology: Situations, Individuals, and Cases has disabused me of this belief. Houghton’s book is not only a lucid and thorough overview of the “situationistdispositionist” debate in the field. It also employs these ostensibly opposing positions to integrate both an impressive range of ‘classic readings’ in the field and an extraordinary array of topics. Houghton’s book will be from henceforth the core text of my, and I suspect many others’, political psychology course.

“– Ronald P. Seyb, Skidmore College What shapes political behavior more: the situations in which individuals find themselves, or the internal psychological makeup – beliefs, values, and so on – of those individuals? This is perhaps the leading division within the psychological study of politics today. This text provides a concise, readable, and conceptuallyorganized introduction to the topic of political psychology by examining this very question.

Using this situationism-dispositionism framework – which roughly parallels the concerns of social and cognitive psychology – this book focuses on such key explanatory mechanisms as behaviorism, obedience, personality, groupthink, cognition, affect, emotion, and neuroscience to explore topics ranging from voting behavior and racism to terrorism and international relations.

Houghton’s clear and engaging examples directly challenge students to place themselves in both real and hypothetical situations which involve intense moral and political dilemmas.

This highly readable text will provide students with the conceptual foundation they need to make sense of the rapidly changing and increasingly important field of political psychology.

Psychology of Terrorism Classic and Contemporary Insights Jeff Victoroff, University of Southern California, USA Arie W. Kruglanski, University of Maryland, College Park, USA (Eds.) Series: Key Readings in Social Psychology Substate terrorism now represents one of the gravest threats to human civilizations.

As the frequency of interstate wars has declined since the end of WWII, terrible violence against innocent civilians is increasingly perpetrated by non-state groups with extreme agendas and virtually no restraints. Why do people become terrorists? Are terrorists crazy? Simply evil?

Normal people driven to extremes? What social factors and tensions are most likely to provoke terrorist behaviors? And how can we use our rapidly growing understanding of the psychology of terrorism to anticipate coming attacks and protect the international community?

Psychology of Terrorism is a definitive collection of the best classic and contemporary writings about the mind of the terrorist.

Carefully selected by a panel of world-renowned authorities for value and readability, this collection provides the reader with deep knowledge and unique insights into the ideas, feelings, and social influences of modern terrorist groups. General readers who wish to understand this deadly phenomenon, students and scholars of human psychology or political science, and decision makers facing the challenge of designing effective counterterrorism policies will enjoy and profit from these essential readings and the inescapable conclusion they suggest: by ignoring the psychology of terrorism, Western nations have been making grave errors in the so-called war on terrorism. Understanding the deep roots of terrorist behaviors gives us tools that are absolutely vital to any effort in reducing this escalating threat.

Social Neuroscience Developmental Social Cognitive Neuroscience Philip David Zelazo, University of Minnesota, USA; Michael Chandler, University of British Columbia, Canada; Eveline Crone, Leiden University, The Netherlands (Eds.) Series: Jean Piaget Symposia Series This volume in the JPS Series is intended to help crystallize the emergence of a new field, “Developmental Social Cognitive Neuroscience,” aimed at elucidating the neural correlates of the development of socio-emotional experience and behavior. No one any longer doubts that infants are born with a biologically based head start in accomplishing their important life tasks––genetic resources, if you will, that are exploited differently in different contexts. Nevertheless, it is also true that socially relevant neural functions develop slowly during childhood and that this development is owed to complex interactions among genes, social and cultural environments, and children’s own behavior. A key challenge lies in finding appropriate ways of describing these complex interactions and the way in which they unfold in real developmental time. This is the challenge that motivates research in developmental social cognitive neuroscience.

The chapters in this book highlight the latest and best research in this emerging field, and they cover a range of topics, including the typical and atypical development of imitation, impulsivity, novelty seeking, risk taking, self and social awareness, emotion regulation, moral reasoning, and executive function. Also addressed are

the potential limitations of a neuroscientific approach to the development of social cognition.

Intended for researchers and advanced students in neuroscience and developmental, cognitive, and social psychology, this book is appropriate for graduate seminars and upper-level undergraduate courses on social cognitive neuroscience, developmental neuroscience, social development, and cognitive development.

Handbook of Imagination and Mental Simulation Keith D. Markman, William M. P. Klein, Julie A. Suhr, Ohio University, USA (Eds.) Over the past thirty years, and particularly within the last ten years, researchers in the areas of social psychology, cognitive psychology, clinical psychology, and neuroscience have been examining fascinating questions regarding the nature of imagination and mental simulation – the imagination and generation of alternative realities. Some of these researchers have focused on the specific processes that occur in the brain when an individual is mentally simulating an action or forming a mental image, whereas others have focused on the consequences of mental simulation processes for affect, cognition, motivation, and behavior.

This Handbook provides a novel and stimulating integration of work on imagination and mental simulation from a variety of perspectives. It is the first broad-based volume to integrate specific sub-areas such as mental imagery, imagination, thought flow, narrative transportation, fantasizing, and counterfactual thinking, which have, until now, been treated by researchers as disparate and orthogonal lines of inquiry. As such, the volume enlightens psychologists to the notion that a wide-range of mental simulation phenomena may actually share a commonality of underlying processes.

Judging Merit Warren Thorngate, Carleton University, Canada; Robyn M. Dawes, Carnegie Mellon University, USA; Margaret Foddy, Carleton University, Canada Merit-based tests and contests have become popular methods for allocating rewards – from trophies to contracts, jobs to grants, admissions to licenses. With origins in jurisprudence, methods of rewarding merit seem fairer than those rewarding political or social connections, bribery, aggression, status, or wealth. Because of this, meritbased competitions are well-suited to the societal belief that people should be rewarded for what they know or do, and not for who they know or are; however, judging merit is rarely an easy task – it is prone to a variety of biases and errors. Small biases and errors, especially in large competitions, can make large differences in who or what is rewarded. It is important, then, to learn how to spot flaws in procedures for judging merit and to correct them when possible.

Based on over twenty years of theory and research in human judgment, decision making and social psychology, this unique book brings together for the first time what is known about the processes and problems of judging merit and their consequences.

It also provides practical suggestions for increasing the fairness of merit-based competitions, and examines the future and limits of these competitions in society.

European Review of Social Psychology

Volume 19

The journal of the European Association of Social Psychology EDITORS Wolfgang Stroebe, Utrecht University, The Netherlands Miles Hewstone, Oxford University, UK The European Review of Social Psychology (ERSP) is an e-first journal published under the auspices of the European Association of Social Psychology.

ERSP is an international journal which aims to further the international exchange of ideas by providing an outlet for substantial accounts of theoretical and empirical work, whose origins may be, but need not be, European. The emphasis of these contributions is on substantial individual programmes of research and on critical assessment of major areas of research, as well as on topics and initiatives of contemporary interest and originality.

With the help of an international editorial board of established scholars, the editors invite outstanding researchers to contribute to these volumes. All manuscripts are externally reviewed, and publication is subject to a positive outcome of the review process. ERSP (now in its 20th year) is widely accepted as one of the major international series in social psychology. With its e-first publishing model it offers authors an opportunity to participate in a well-respected publication and to disseminate their ideas quickly, while allowing readers the chance to see individual articles as soon as they are completed, without waiting for a whole volume or issue to be prepared.

Each article is published online shortly after it has been accepted. Subscribers immediately receive an email alerting them to the article’s publication, and all users at that institution are able to view and print the article from links in the email. This is an excellent resource for graduate students.

MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION All submissions and proposals should be made through the editorial office. Please email your paper, saved in a standard document format type such as Word or PDF, to Duncan.Nicholas@psypress.co.uk.

Evolutionary Social Psychology

Evolutionary Social Psychology Evolution, Culture, and the Human Mind Mark Schaller, Ara Norenzayan, Steven Heine, University of British Columbia, Canada Toshio Yamagishi, Tatsuya Kameda, Hokkaido University, Japan An enormous amount of scientific research compels two fundamental conclusions about the human mind: the mind is the product of evolution; and the mind is shaped by culture. These two perspectives on the human mind aren’t incompatible, but, until recently, their compatibility has resisted rigorous scholarly inquiry. Evolutionary psychology documents many ways in which genetic adaptations govern the operations of the human mind, but evolutionary inquiries only occasionally grapple seriously with questions about human culture and cross-cultural differences.

Cultural psychology documents many ways in which thought and behavior are shaped by different cultural experiences, but cultural inquires rarely consider evolutionary processes. Even after decades of intensive research, these two perspectives on human psychology have remained largely divorced from each other, but that is now changing.

This is the first scholarly book to integrate evolutionary and cultural perspectives on human psychology. The contributors include world-renowned evolutionary, cultural, social, and cognitive psychologists. These chapters reveal many novel insights linking human evolution to both human cognition and human culture – including the evolutionary origins of crosscultural differences. The result is a stimulating introduction to an emerging integrative perspective on human nature.

JOURNAL 11% more pages in 2009! Plus CD Psychology: IUPsyS Global Resource

International Journal of Psychology EDITOR Claudia Dalbert, Martin Luther University, Germany The International Journal of Psychology (IJP) is the journal of the International Union of Psychological Science (IUPsyS) and is published under the auspices of the Union.

IJP seeks to support the IUPsyS in fostering the development of international psychological science. It aims to strengthen the dialog within psychology around the world and to facilitate communication among different areas of psychology and among psychologists from different cultural backgrounds. IJP is the outlet for empirical basic and applied studies and for reviews that either (a) incorporate perspectives from different areas or domains within psychology or across different disciplines, (b) test the culture-dependent validity of psychological theories, or (c) integrate literature from different regions in the world. IJP does not publish technical articles, validations of questionnaires and tests, or clinical case studies. Special topical issues or sections are also published two or three times a year. All articles include a detailed abstract in English, French and Spanish.

IJP Special Section issues In an ongoing initiative from 2007, certain issues of IJP are now designated as Special Section issues, where a number of articles concentrate on a single topic. These issues are sent to subscribers as usual, and are also available to buy individually from the IJP website. As of early 2009, seven Special Section issues have been published on a wide variety of topics, representing some of the leading thought in their respective fields: •

Special Section - Volume 44 (2009) issue 1 – Expressions of “New” Racism

•

Special Section - Volume 43 (2008) issue 5 - Insights from Research on Asian Students’ Achievement Motivation

•

Special Section - Volume 43 (2008) issue 2 - Culture and Human Development

•

Special Section - Volume 43 (2008) issue 1 - New Research on Acculturation among Diaspora Migrants

•

Special Section - Volume 42 (2007) issue 4 - Psychological Research in Berlin, the Host City of ICP 2008 (This issue is available for free online download.)

•

Special Section - Volume 42 (2007) issue 3 - Implicit Representations and Personality
