This Handbook is a comprehensive and scholarly overview of the
latest research on prejudice, stereotyping, and discrimination. The
Second Edition provides a full update of its highly successful
predecessor and features new material on key issues such as
political activism, economic polarization, minority stress,
same-sex marriage laws, dehumanization, and mental health stigma,
in addition to a timely update on how victims respond to
discrimination, and additional coverage of gender and race. All
chapters are written by eminent researchers who explore topics by
presenting an overview of current research and, where appropriate,
developing new theory, models, or scales. The volume is clearly
structured, with a broad section on cognitive, affective, and
neurological processes, and there is inclusion of studies of
prejudice based on race, sex, age, sexual orientation, and weight.
A concluding section explores the issues involved in reducing
prejudice. The Handbook is an essential resource for students,
instructors, and researchers in social and personality psychology,
and an invaluable reference for academics and professionals in
sociology, communication studies, gerontology, nursing, medicine,
as well as government and policymakers and social service agencies.

This volume provides a fast and efficient way for undergraduate and
graduate students to gain a solid understanding of the social
psychology literature. Each chapter reviews a major subsection of
research in the field, written by a leading social psychology
researcher in that area. Coverage includes all the major empirical,
theoretical and methodological developments in its subfield of
social psychology. Beginning social psychologists, as well as those
who may have emerged from their formal training with a
less-than-solid grounding in the research literature, will find
this volume invaluable. It is the book all social psychologists
wished they had access to when they were getting grounded in the
research literature!

Classic and Contemporary Studies in Social Psychology is a combined
text and reader that presents social psychology firsthand through
the influential studies that have shaped the field. Each topic
includes annotated readings to demystify the research design
process and help students understand how theory connects to
experimental design in social psychology. To prepare readers for
concepts within each original journal article, Todd D. Nelson
discusses pivotal themes, ideas, and methods in introductory
sections that precede the reading. Following each article, Nelson
reinforces key topics and links the article to related concepts
within the field.
Current research and theory from a range of disciplines on ageism,
discussing issues from elder abuse to age discrimination against
workers, revised and updated. People commonly use age to categorize
and stereotype others-even though those who stereotype the elderly
are eventually bound to become elderly themselves. Ageism is found
cross-culturally, but it is especially prevalent in the United
States, where most people regard growing older with depression,
fear, and anxiety. Older people in the United States are
stigmatized and marginalized, with often devastating consequences.
This volume collects the latest theory and research on prejudice
against older people, offering perspectives from psychology,
nursing, medicine, social work, and other fields. The second
edition has been completely updated, with new or extensively
revised contributions. The contributors, all experts in their
fields, consider issues that range from elder abuse to age
discrimination against workers. There has been a relative dearth of
research on ageism, perhaps because age prejudice is still
considered socially acceptable. This book is still the only one
that examines ageism in such detail, from such diverse scholarly
perspectives. The contributors discuss the origins and effects of
ageism and offer suggestions for how to reduce ageism as the wave
of baby boomers heads for old age. Contributors Yoav S. Bergman,
