Antisemitism and anti-Zionism are complex, delineable, yet
inter-related social-psychological phenomena. While antisemitism
has been described as an irrational, age-old prejudice,
anti-Zionism is often represented as a legitimate response to a
'rogue state'. Drawing upon media and visual sources and rich
interview data from Iran, Britain and Israel, Antisemitism and
Anti-Zionism: Representation, Cognition and Everyday Talk examines
the concepts of antisemitism and anti-Zionism, tracing their
evolution and inter-relations, and considering the distinct ways in
which they are manifested, and responded to, by Muslim and Jewish
communities in Iran, Britain and Israel. Providing insights from
social psychology, sociology and history, this interdisciplinary
analysis sheds light on the pivotal role of the media, social
representations and identity processes in shaping antisemitism and
anti-Zionism. As such, this provocative book will be of interest to
social scientists working on antisemitism, race and ethnicity,
political sociology and political science, media studies and Middle
Eastern politics.

This book explores the social psychological aspects of trans
women's experiences of living with HIV in the UK. Drawing on

analysis of the EXTRA Study - one of the first in-depth empirical
studies of trans women's experiences of living with HIV in the UK.
Trans Women and HIV: Social Psychological Perspectives examines
issues of identity, threat and coping among trans women - a key
population in the HIV epidemic - and presents a model for
describing and predicting health outcomes in this population.
Underpinned by the Health Adversity Risk Model, this book examines
the role of psychological constructs, such as identity, risk and
stigma, in behaviour and psychological wellbeing. This informative
and thought-provoking text is an invaluable resource for scholars,
clinicians and students working in the fields of HIV and trans
health.
This book focuses on the clinical, social and psychological aspects
of HIV among gay men and examines the complex factors that can
contribute to HIV risk in this key population. With the target to
end all HIV transmissions in the UK by 2030 in mind, Jaspal and
Bayley combine elements of HIV medicine and social psychology to
identify the remaining barriers to effective HIV prevention among
gay men. The authors take the reader on a journey through the
history of HIV, its science and epidemiology and its future,
demonstrating the vital role of history, society and psychology in
understanding the trajectory of the virus. Underpinned by theories
from social psychology and clinical snapshots from practice, this
book considers how psychological constructs, such as identity, risk
and sexuality, can impinge on physical health outcomes. This
refreshing and thought-provoking text is an invaluable resource for
scholars, clinicians and students working in the field of HIV.

This book focuses on the social psychological aspects of gay men's
lives and provides a cutting-edge examination of topics including
sexual orientation, sexual behavior, identity, relationships,
prejudice, and health. The Social Psychology of Gay Men forces us
to re-think existing theory and research, much of which has taken
heterosexuality for granted. With identity process theory at its
heart, this book advocates a social psychology of gay men which
incorporates three levels of analysis - the psychological,
interpersonal and societal. The book promises not only a deeper
understanding of gay men's lives but also pathways for enhancing
wellbeing, intergroup relations and equality in this key
population. This illuminating and thought-provoking text is an
invaluable resource not only for psychologists, but for students,
scholars and practitioners working in the area of gay men's life.
We live in an ever-changing social world, which constantly demands
adjustment to our identities and actions. Advances in science,
technology and medicine, political upheaval, and economic
development are just some examples of social change that can impact
upon how we live our lives, how we view ourselves and each other,
and how we communicate. Three decades after its first appearance,
identity process theory remains a vibrant and useful integrative
framework in which identity, social action and social change can be
collectively examined. This book presents some of the key
developments in this area. In eighteen chapters by world-renowned
social psychologists, the reader is introduced to the major social
psychological debates about the construction and protection of
identity in face of social change. Contributors address a wide
range of contemporary topics - national identity, risk, prejudice,
intractable conflict and ageing - which are examined from the
perspective of identity process theory.

By analysing research into links between low psychological
wellbeing and sexual risk-taking behaviours that occur in men who
have sex with men (MSM), this book demonstrates what impact social
and psychological interventions could have on MSM at risk of poor
sexual outcomes. At the heart of the book is Identity Process
Theory, co-developed by the author, a social psychological theory
of identity construction, threat and coping. The book considers the
emerging debates in MSM's health, such as the use of Grindr and
'chemsex', and also explores the socio-structural factors, such as
homophobia and stigma, that threaten the self-identity of MSM. The
book offers principles and techniques from this theory that can be
used as an effective intervention and therapeutic model with MSM to
build more positive identities and reduce sexual risk-taking.
World-renowned social psychologists present some of the key
developments in identity process theory, examining identity, social
action and social change.
