This book, which is in its second edition, provides a provocative
mirror from which to discern more clearly one's own assumptions
about human nature. . . . I found myself reflecting on the subject
matter and its impact on my own life, including relationships,
teaching, research, and therapy. . . . The author has done a superb
job of raising our consciousness about human nature in this book,
an I strongly recommend it to academic and applied psychologists.
If you need an invitation to examine your views about human nature,
this book is it. --C. R. Snyder, University of Kansas, Lawrence In
general, are people trustworthy or unreliable, altruistic or
selfish? Are they simple and easy to understand or complex and
beyond comprehension? Our assumptions about human nature color
everything from the way we bargain with a used-car dealer to our
expectations about further conflict in the Middle East. Because our
assumptions about human nature underlie our reactions to specific
events, Wrightsman designed this second edition to enhance our
understanding of human nature--the relationship of attitudes to
behavior, the unidimensionality of attitudes, and the influence of
social movements on beliefs. Psychologists, social workers,
researchers, and students will find Assumptions About Human Nature
an illuminating exploration into the philosophies of human nature.
