What captivates learners and interests them in studying social
psychology? In Case Studies for Teaching Social Psychology, Tom
Heinzen and Wind Goodfriend use brief, entertaining case stories to
further enhance the historical context, evolution of, and
challenges to major theories within the field. By employing a mix
of unique, contemporary research and hallmark studies to illustrate
classic concepts, Heinzen and Goodfriend steer students to explore
new, meaningful ways of thinking about and connecting with
foundational course concepts. In turn, this approach facilitates
engaged conversation and deeper critical thinking both in and
outside of the classroom.
Although George Pataki campaigned for change, most of the human
infrastructure he inherited is unlikely to change. The
psychological consequences to the people of New York State's
government will continue to develop even under new leadership.
Frustrations caused by downsizing, reduced budgets, institutional
constraints, and stalled careers have led to a variety of very
human responses: self-denigrating humor, clinical depression,
career compromises, organizational sabotage-and several forms of
creativity. This book treats the New York State bureaucracy as a
living laboratory, documenting the ways in which people at work for
New York State respond to the unavoidable frustrations of
government service. This living laboratory was examined using case
studies, interviews, and large-scale surveys. The studies included
members of every state agency, the Public Employees Federation, the
Civil Service Employees Association, the Governor's Office of
Employee Relations and a variety of privatized services. The
portrait that emerges is a governmental bureaucracy whose facade is
distressingly grey, values are frequently compromised, and
experience is often clinically depressing. But beneath it all is an
additional layer of lively plotting, creative coping, and proactive
circumvention. This book identifies both levels of the
psychological experience, anticipates future crises within New York
State, and offers a humanistic philosophy capable of transforming
these developing conflicts into enduring creativity.
