This book is about the social psychological dynamics and
phenomenology of social inclusion and exclusion. The editors take
as their starting point the assumption that social life is
conducted in a framework of relationships in which individuals seek
inclusion and belongingness. Relationships necessarily include
others, but equally they have boundaries that exclude. Frequently
these boundaries are challenged or crossed. The book will draw
together research on individual motivation, small group processes,
stigmatization and intergroup relations, to provide a comprehensive
social psychological account of social inclusion and exclusion.

Organizations are groups. They compete with other groups; they are
internally structured into subgroups and roles; and they influence
and are influenced by social identity processes. This volume brings
together social and organizational psychologists to explore social
identity theory in organizational contexts. The chapters are wide
ranging - they deal with basic social identity theory,
organizational diversity, leadership, employee turnover, mergers
and acquisitions, organizational identification, co-operation and
trust in organizations, commitment and work, and socialization and
influence within organizations. This book is an integrative
platform for a closer relationship between social psychologists and
organizational psychologists who study social identity processes in
organizations.
Organizations are groups. They compete with other groups; they are internally structured into subgroups and roles; and they influence and are influenced by social identity processes. In recent years there has been an explosion of interest in social identity processes among both social and organizational psychologists. However, the two groups have rarely appeared on the same stage - this book is a first attempt at a closer relationship between these two literatures. The contributors to this volume range from primarily social psychologists to primarily organizational psychologists, but through various shades of combined emphasis. The chapters are wide ranging - they deal with basic social identity theory, organizational diversity, leadership, employee turnover, mergers and acquisitions, organizational identification, cooperation and trust in organizations, commitment and work, and socialization and influence within organizations. This book is an integrative platform for a closer relationship between social psychologists and organizational psychologists who study social identity processes in organizations - a relationship that will fuel new directions in basic and applied social identity research, and will significantly advance our understanding of organizational life.

Relations between groups, for example those based on race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, age, ability, and socio-economic status, provide the context for everyday life. Intergroup relations frame the way we define and think about others, and how they treat and think about us. Consider how profoundly affected everyday life is by whether relations between groups are harmonious and peaceful, or conflicting and hostile. Not surprisingly, intergroup relations is an exhilarating core topic in social psychology; a topic which connects social psychology with other social sciences, and which challenges social psychology to marshal and to integrate concepts relating to individual cognition, social interaction, and social history. This book is a collection of classic and contemporary readings that help to define the social psychological study of intergroup relations. In making the selection the editors have tried to capture the diversity and complexity of the topic, as well as some of the major controversies, but with an eye to choosing readings that are accessible to and engaging for students and others who are new to the area.

The reasons why people do not always act in accord with their
attitudes has been the focus of much social psychological research,
as have the factors that account for why people change their
attitudes and are persuaded by such influences as the media. There
is strong support for the view that attitude-behavior consistency
and persuasion cannot be well understood without reference to the
wider social context in which we live. Although attitudes are held
by individuals, they are social products to the extent that they
are influenced by social norms and the expectations of others. This
book brings together an international group of researchers
discussing private and public selves and their interaction through
attitudes and behavior. The effects of the social context on
attitude-behavior relations and persuasion is the central theme of
this book, which--in its combination of theoretical exposition,
critique, and empirical research--should be of interest to both
basic and applied social psychologists.
The authors of Social Identifications set out to make accessible to students of social psychology the social identity approach developed by Henri Tajfel, John Turner, and their colleagues in Bristol during the 1970s and 1980s. Michael Hogg and Dominic Abrams give a comprehensive and readable account of social identity theory as well as setting it in the context of other approaches and perspectives in the psychology of intergroup relations. They look at the way people derive their identity from the social groups to which they belong, and the consequences for their feelings, thoughts, and behaviour of psychologically belonging to a group. They go on to examine the relationship between the individual and society in the context of a discussion of discrimination, stereotyping and intergroup relations, conformity and social influence, cohesiveness and intragoup solidariy, language and ethnic group relations, and collective behaviour. Social Identifications fills a gap in the literature available to students of social psychology. The authors' presentation of social identity theory in a complete and integrated form and the extensive references and suggestions for further reading they provide will make this an essential source book for social psychologists and other social scientists looking at group behaviour.

Somewhere between 40 and 50, the ageing process starts in most men.
It impacts negatively on their mood, energy levels and their sex
drive. It's a downward spiral that most men notice with dread and
which influences the rest of their lives. Michael Hogg spent the
first 40 years of his life learning how to live, building his
career and creating wealth. As he hit his 40s, not only did Mother
Nature start ageing him, but he is also went through a classic
"middle-age crisis" that saw him lose his family and high-powered
job. This book is partly about Michael's journey of rejuvenation
and his obsession with getting fit and healthy as he got older. In
doing so, it also describes the various treatments and preventative
solutions to help men fight the ageing process, with expert input
from medical doctors and psychologists. Ultimately, the book is an
inspiration to any middle-age man wanting to enjoy the best years
of their life in a healthy and fit state.
