Offering practical stigma and discrimination reduction programs in
a range of domains including mental health, disability, ethnicity,
and sexuality, this book is the answer to "What can we do?" to
improve interpersonal relationships by reducing societal stigma
towards social groups that are prime targets of prejudice. In this
volume, researchers from four continents share
empirically-supported stigma reduction programs that capitalize on
creativity and psychological science. The programs capture a range
of populations including high school and college students,
healthcare providers, war survivors, sexual assault survivors,
business professionals, and community members. With a focus on
controversial topics in society today including racism, sexism,
ageism, ableism, and classism as well as stigma of mental health
and body image, innovative and unexpected methods of interventions
are brought to life in the collected chapters from world-leading
experts. The applications of theater, game playing, text messaging,
and social media, as well as new formulations of educational
workshops and communication strategies, shed new perspectives on
how all of us can use accessible tools to make positive and
productive changes on societal attitudes. This is an essential
reading for professionals, academics, and students of psychology,
business, HR, mental health, counseling, and social work,
especially those interested in stigma reduction.

How does experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV) affect one's
identity, in terms of self-concept and self-esteem? In this
Element, the authors propose a novel framework called the E3 Model
in which relevant theory and research studies can be organized into
three phases: Entrapment, Escape, and Elevation. Entrapment focuses
on how people enter and commit to a relationship that later becomes
abusive and how experiencing IPV affects the self. Escape explores
how victims become survivors as they slowly build the resources
needed to leave safely, including galvanizing self-esteem. Finally,
Elevation centers on how survivors psychologically rebuild from
their experience and become stronger, happier, more hopeful selves.
This Element concludes with a discussion of applications of the E3
Model, such as public and legal policy regarding how to best help
and support survivors.
This award-winning text invites students to discover social
psychology’s relevance to their lives. Authors Thomas Heinzen and
Wind Goodfriend capture student interest by weaving stories drawn
from their own personal experiences with compelling examples from
everyday life, all carefully placed in historical context. Social
psychology is presented as an evolving, science-driven
conversation; chapters build on core questions central to
scientific inquiry, while a methods-in-context approach cultivates
psychological literacy. The Second Edition has been
thoroughly updated with new pop culture examples, additional
diversity coverage, recent controversies related to the Zimbardo
and Milgram studies, and over a hundred new citations from the
latest research.
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.
