This timely and applied textbook brings together leading scientists
to illustrate how key theories and concepts in social psychology
help to predict and explain behavior, and can be successfully
applied to benefit social and practical problems. It focuses on
robust theories and models known for their successful applications
and covers a diverse range of settings-spanning classroom
interventions, health behavior, financial decision making, climate
change and much more. Each chapter comprises of a theoretical
section to define the key concepts and summarize the theory,
providing evidence for its reliability and limitations from basic
research, as well as an application section that summarizes
research in an applied context and provides details about a
particular study including the respective application setting. The
textbook expertly shows how theory can make meaningful predictions
for real world contexts, and isn't afraid to explain the potential
hurdles and pitfalls when applying a theory and its underlying set
of concepts in a certain context. Crucially, this format moves
towards theory testing in applied contexts, enabling a closer
examination of why and under what circumstances interventions may
be successful in obtaining a desired behavioral or psychological
end-state. Among the topics explored: Mindset theory of action
phases and if-then planning Quality of motivation in
self-determination theory The focus theory of normative conduct
Social identity theory and intergroup contact theory Intergroup
forgiveness Social Psychology in Action is a critical resource for
advanced undergraduate and graduate students in social and cultural
psychology, as well as students of behavioral economics seeking to
develop a deeper understanding of major theories and applications
of the fields. Practitioners working in the areas of organizational
behavior and management, health communication, social work, and
educational science and pedagogy will also find the volume
pertinent to their work.
