This volume presents a contemporary and comprehensive overview of
the great diversity of theoretical interests, new ideas, and
practical applications that characterize social psychological
approaches to stereotyping and prejudice. All the contributions are
written by renowned scholars in the field, with some chapters
focusing on fundamental principles, including research questions
about the brain structures that help us categorize and judge
others, the role of evolution in prejudice, and how prejudice
relates to language, communication, and social norms. Several
chapters review a new dimension that has frequently been
understudied-the role of the social context in creating stereotypes
and prejudice. Another set of chapters focuses on applications,
particularly how stereotypes and prejudice really matter in
everyday life. These chapters include studies of their impact on
academic performance, their role in small group processes, and
their influence on everyday social interactions. The volume
provides an essential resource for students, instructors, and
researchers in social and personality psychology, and is also an
invaluable reference for academics and professionals in related
fields who have an interest in the origins and effects of
stereotyping and prejudice.

Arie W. Kruglanski, University of Maryland College Park, (series editor). The aim of this series is to make available to senior undergraduate and graduate students, key articles in each area of social psychology in an attractive, user friendly format. Many lecturers want to encourage their students to engage directly with research in their fields, yet these can often be daunting for students coming to detailed study of a topic for the first time. Moreover, declining library budgets mean that articles are not always readily available, and course packs can be expensive and time-consuming to produce. Key Readings in Social Psychology aims to address this need by providing comprehensive volumes, each one of which will be edited by a senior and active researcher in the field. Articles will be carefully chosen to illustrate the way the field has developed historically as well as current issues and research directions. Each volume will have a similar structure to include: * An overview chapter, as well as introductions to sections and articles * Questions for class discussion * Annotated bibliographies * Full author and subject indexes

Social Groups in Action and Interaction reviews and analyzes the
human group as it operates to create both social good and,
potentially, social harm. It summarizes current knowledge and
contemporary research, with real-world examples in succinct yet
engaging chapters, to help students understand and predict group
behavior. Unlike other texts, the book considers a wide range of
topics-such as conformity, leadership, task performance, social
identity, prejudice, and discrimination-from both an intragroup and
an intergroup perspective. By looking at behavior both within and
between groups, it bridges the gap between these interconnected
approaches. The second edition is thoroughly updated to include new
discussion of the biology and neuroscience of group formation,
recent developments in social identity theory, and recent advances
in the study of social networks. It also includes questions for
review and discussion in the classroom. It provides the most
comprehensive and essential resource for courses on group dynamics
and behavior.

This book turns the tables on the way prejudice has been looked at
in the past. Almost all of the current information on prejudice
focuses on the person holding prejudiced beliefs. This book,
however, provides the first summary of research focusing on the
intended victims of prejudice. Divided into three sections, the
first part discusses how people identify prejudice, what types of
prejudice they encounter, and how people react to this prejudice in
interpersonal and intergroup settings. The second section discusses
the effect of prejudice on task performance, assessment of ones own
abilities, self-esteem, and stress. The final section examines how
people cope with prejudice, including a discussion of coping
mechanisms, reporting sexual harassment, and how identity is
related to effective coping.
Key Features
* Includes an introduction, the consequences of prejudice, and how
to cope with prejudice
* The editors are top researchers in the field of prejudice
* All the contributors are major figures in the social
psychological analysis of intergroup relationships
Where do stereotypes come from? How accurate are they, and how do
they affect interpersonal and intergroup relations? Can stereotypes
be changed? Stereotypes structured sets of beliefs about the
characteristics of members of social categories influence how
people attend to, encode, represent, and retrieve information about
others, and how they judge and respond to them. A comprehensive
overview of contemporary research, this volume highlights important
approaches that have considerably expanded our understanding of
stereotyping in recent years. Integrating cognitive, motivational,
emotional, and linguistic perspectives, "Stereotypes and
Stereotyping" demonstrates the diversity and richness of the field
today and illuminates new directions for future research.
