Social decentering theory was developed in response to the
confusion created by the use of the term empathy and to a lesser
extent, perspective-taking, to reflect a wide and varied set of
human cognitive processes and behaviors. Theory of Social
Decentering: A Theory of Other-Orientation Encompassing Empathy and
Perspective-Taking, presents an innovative approach to the social
cognitive process by which humans take into consideration the
thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and dispositions of other people.
The multidimensional theory and measure of social decentering
represents a unifying theory that identifies and incorporates key
elements imbedded in other-oriented terms. The first chapters
present the theory and development of a measure of social
decentering in a complete and detailed manner examining the
important role that social decentering plays in human
communication. The remaining chapters of the book examine the role
that social decentering, empathy, and perspective-taking play in
the development and management of interpersonal relationships, in
marital relationships, in teams and group interactions, and in the
workplace. The final chapter examines the negative consequences to
individuals, decisions, and relationships potentially created by
engaging in social decentering. The appendices include copies of
the measure of social decentering and the measure of
relationship-specific social decentering. The book is of interest
for graduates in communication studies, psychology, and sociology,
and valuable for communication and social psychology scholars
interested in empathy or perspective taking.
