Using vivid examples of both historical and current events,
acclaimed scholar Thomas Pettigrew’s compelling book advocates
for a robust contextual social psychology, maintaining that far
more attention should be paid to the social context of various
phenomena relevant in the world today. Â The volume traces
the author's 65-year career, and offers a contextual, three-level
approach for studying and theorizing about a variety of social
psychological phenomena, combining cultural, situational, and
personality levels of analysis. Each chapter illustrates concepts
important to the field and provides insight into its advantages,
applying these analyses to critical topics such as prejudice,
far-right voting patterns, relative deprivation, and intergroup
contact. The book describes milestones in establishing a
theoretically and methodologically sound contextual approach,
including major statistical advances that have made this research
easier to conduct, more rigorous, and more commonplace. Â As
the book demonstrates, in an educational capacity, contextual
social psychology opens the possibility for joint undergraduate and
graduate courses with other social science classes, such as
sociology and political science. Pettigrew paints a broad picture
of how social science truly operates at multiple levels.
