THEORIES IN SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY Theories in Social Psychology
develops a deeper, more robust understanding of the theoretical
framework underlying the field. Providing rich insights into the
central theories and perspectives that continue to shape the
discipline, this edited volume brings together a panel of
distinguished scholars to address thirteen social psychological
theories relating to social cognition, social comparison, social
reinforcement, and self. In-depth critical discussions examine
topics including cognitive dissonance, reactance, attribution,
social comparison, relative deprivation, equity, interdependency,
social identity, and more. The expanded second edition fills a
substantial gap in current literature by articulating the important
psychological theories rather than placing emphasis on applied
research. New and revised content helps students understand the
construction and complexity of key theories while inspiring
researchers of social behavior to reflect on their current work and
consider future areas of investigation. This comprehensive
resource: Identifies and discusses the theoretical perspectives and
specific theories that form the foundation of the study of social
psychology Features work from leading scholars including Bertram F.
Malle, Paul R. Nail, Richard E. Petty, Thomas Mussweiler, Faye J.
Crosby, and Miles Hewstone Helps students move from introductory
concepts to multifaceted theoretical frameworks Theories in Social
Psychology, Second Edition, remains the perfect textbook for
academics and students wanting to study and discuss important
social psychological perspectives and theories and attain a deeper
understanding of the theoretical framework. "This book will be a
very valuable tool for students and professionals alike who wish to
learn theories in social psychology and the role they have played
in the development of the discipline. It is comprehensive in its
coverage and covers the theories in an objective and engaging way."
--Robert J. Sternberg, Professor, Department of Psychology, College
of Human Ecology, Cornell University, Honorary Professor of
Psychology, University of Heidelberg, Germany "In this wonderful
new edition of compilation of theories, at the core of modern
social psychology, presented to us by Derek Chadee, we are given a
special gift that enriches scholars, teachers and students of
psychology in social and general psychology. We are treated to a
clear exposition of these theories some of the research and
controversy that each has generated, and are given some guidelines
to new paths for future exploration of their implications. My
research career has benefitted from working in the domains of
dissonance, attribution, and social comparison theories, but my
teaching and textbook writing has relied on all of the theories and
their concepts so elegantly orchestrated here." --Phillip G.
Zimbardo, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus, Stanford University
