Personality in the Social Process

First published in 1985. This book presents a new way to ask an old question. Many fields have considered the nature of the influence that members of a group exert on the course of social events. Social science provides another way to examine this issue. Moreover social science has a particular strength: It helps us to phrase questions more precisely than before it encourages us to follow a line of reasoning systematically and it requires us to evaluate our ideas in light of a particular kind of evidence. The authors want to use these strengths to explore systematically the ways that factors in the person and in the environment together may shape the emergence of social behavior. | Personality in the Social Process

Psychology of Fear Crime and the Media International Perspectives

The media continue to have a significant persuasive influence on the public perception of crime even when the information presented is not reflective of the crime rate or actual crime itself. There have been numerous theoretical studies on fear of crime in the media but few have considered this from a social psychological perspective. As new media outlets emerge and public dependence on them increases the need for such awareness has never been greater. This volume lays the foundation for understanding fear of crime from a social psychological perspective in a way that has not yet been systematically presented to the academic world. This volume brings together an international team of experts and scholars to assess the role of fear and the media in everyday life. Chapters take a multidisciplinary approach to psychology sociology and criminology and explore such topics as dual process theory construal level theory public fascination with gangs and other contemporary issues. | Psychology of Fear Crime and the Media International Perspectives

Politics of Social Psychology

Social scientists have long known that political beliefs bias the way they think about understand and interpret the world around them. In this volume scholars from social psychology and related fields explore the ways in which social scientists themselves have allowed their own political biases to influence their research. These biases may influence the development of research hypotheses the design of studies and methods and materials chosen to test hypotheses decisions to publish or not publish results based on their consistency with one’s prior political beliefs and how results are described and dissemination to the popular press. The fact that these processes occur within academic disciplines such as social psychology that strongly skew to the political left compounds the problem. Contributors to this volume not only identify and document the ways that social psychologists’ political beliefs can and have influenced research but also offer solutions towards a more depoliticized social psychology that can become a model for discourse across the social sciences. | Politics of Social Psychology

Principles of Social Psychology Third Edition

Originally published in 1987 this third edition won praise from students and instructors alike for its challenging no nonsense approach to the field. Thoroughly updated to reflect current research of the time the text retains the qualities that had become its hallmarks: a cognitive approach to the process of socialization and an emphasis on the ideas that give the discipline continuity. It offers clear conceptually integrated discussions of all of the major topics in social psychology from the time. Shaver's focus on the concepts of social psychology provides a framework for students to develop their own applications. The principles of social behavior are presented in the text in the same way they develop in the individual moving from internal processes (social perception self-recognition) to external issues (the environment the law) that influence behavior. Shaver weaves contemporary issues into his treatment of basic theories using examples from everyday situations. His supple writing engages students in the complexity of social behavior and is one reason this title remained one of the most highly regarded texts in the field at the time. | Principles of Social Psychology Third Edition

Straight Choices The Psychology of Decision Making

Straight Choices provides a fascinating introduction to the psychology of decision making enhanced by discussion of relevant examples of decision problems faced in everyday life. Thoroughly revised and updated throughout this edition provides an integrative account of the psychology of decision-making and shows how psychological research can help us understand our uncertain world. The book emphasizes the relationship between learning and decision-making arguing that the best way to understand how and why decisions are made is in the context of the learning and knowledge acquisition which precedes them and the feedback which follows. The mechanisms of learning and the structure of environments in which decisions are made are carefully examined to explore their impact on our choices. The authors then consider whether we are all constrained to fall prey to cognitive biases or whether with sufficient exposure we can find optimal decision strategies and improve our decision making. This edition highlights advances made in judgment and decision making research with additional coverage of behavioral insights nudging artificial intelligence and explanation-based decision making. Written in a non-technical manner this book is an essential read for all students and researchers in cognitive psychology behavioral economics and the decision sciences as well as anyone interested in the nature of decision making. | Straight Choices The Psychology of Decision Making
