To what extent -- and why -- do many people share similar views in
socially significant domains such as politics, the economy, race,
and gender? Both the conceptual and substantive approaches to these
questions are explored in this new book. Part I introduces the
approach adopted, reviews recent developments in the area of
belief, and endeavors to synthesize speculations from anthropology
and from psychology. Part II concentrates on four different sets of
concepts for the social psychological study of widespread beliefs.
Finally, contributions from six social psychologists -- each
examining a substantive area or series of studies with an analysis
of the empirical work in that area -- comprise Part III. This fully
up-to-date work provides a broad conceptual approach to this
contemporary, important topic. Social psychologists, social
anthropologists and sociologists will find this work particularly
useful.
