Gordon W. Allport, one of social psychology's founding fathers,
described the subdiscipline as 'an attempt to understand and
explain how the thoughts, feelings and behavior of individuals are
influenced by the actual, imagined or implied presence of others'.
From pioneering studies in the 1940s and 1950s, via the 'cognitive
revolution' of the 1970s, to the emergence of sophisticated
computerized methodologies and the wonders of functional MRI,
social psychology remains a thriving enterprise. As serious work in
social psychology continues to flourish as never before, this new
title from Psychology Press meets the need for an authoritative
reference work to map and make sense of a vast body of literature
and a continuing explosion in research output. Edited by a leading
scholar, Social Psychology is a four-volume collection which brings
together the very best foundational and cutting-edge contributions.
It is divided into four principal parts: Self and Social Cognition;
Attitudes and Social Influence; Group Processes and Intergroup
Relations; and Aggression and Love. The collection is fully indexed
and has a comprehensive introduction, newly written by the editor,
which places the gathered material in its historical and
intellectual context. Clearly delineating the subdiscipline's key
turning points and critical transitions, Social Psychology will
provide users with a new and coherent understanding of the
subdiscipline's evolution. It is an essential resource and is
destined to be valued by scholars and students as a vital one-stop
research tool.
