Book The Social Influence Processes

Download or read book The Social Influence Processes written by James T. Tedeschi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 716 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social psychologists have always been concerned with two-person interactions and the factors enabling one person to gain dominance. Although social psychology has devised a revolutionary set of techniques to investigate the phenomenon of power, hypotheses are too often ambiguously stated, research programs end in cul-de-sacs, and experiments take on the character of one-shot studies. In an attempt to stimulate new directions in research and to provide cumulative emphasis on the development of scientific theory in the area of power relations, Tedeschi has assembled original and path breaking essays from a dozen outstanding scholars and researchers in the behavioral sciences. More tightly integrated than leading books in the field of power relations, The Social Influence Processes focuses on two-person interactions. A full explanation of the terms "power" and "influence" is followed by an analysis of the major variables in connections between two persons that must be taken into account in a scientific theory of social influence. The subsequent chapters respond to the categories established, attempting a comprehensive construction of social reality and offering suggestions and techniques for measuring and ordering its complexity. Particular areas of research and theory are isolated for consideration in depth--such topics as personality as a power construct (Power and Personality by Henry L. Minton), influence in exchange theory (The Tactical Use of Social Power by Andrew Michener and Robert W. Suchner), and leadership through charisma (Interpersonal Attraction and Social Influence by Elaine Walster and Darcy Abrahams). In the final chapter, Tedeschi, Thomas Bonoma, and Barry R. Schlenker attempt to provide a general theory of social influence processes as they affect the target individual by reviewing the research literature in their own theoretical terms. This remarkable volume will be of interest to students as well

Book Negotiating Parent Adolescent Conflict

Download or read book Negotiating Parent Adolescent Conflict written by Arthur L. Robin and published by Guilford Press. This book was released on 2002-12-18 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parent-adolescent discord is often handled from a unitary perspective, whether the focus is on enhancing parenting skills, resolving conflicts in family relationships, or working to improve the behavior of the individual child. This important work shows the clinician how to incorporate all of these crucial elements into a single, research-based treatment program. Presented is the authors' influential integration of cognitive-behavioral constructs and family systems theory, grounded in consideration of adolescent developmental concerns. The book describes effective ways to conceptualize and assess the problems of embattled parents and teens; use assessment data in treatment planning; overcome resistance and other therapeutic hurdles; and implement carefully sequenced skills training, cognitive restructuring, and functional/structural interventions. The theoretical and empirical bases of the treatment approach are also discussed in depth.

Book Conflict Promoting Conflict

Download or read book Conflict Promoting Conflict written by Alexis Marsh and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study asks the question: Are there differences among how adolescents perceive discussions about the civil conflict of Northern Ireland with their families depending on their parents’ behaviors and communication styles? Using parent behavior measures and participant perceptions of conversations regarding the social conflict of Northern Ireland, the current study aims to bridge the relationship between Baumrind’s parenting styles (authoritarian, authoritative, and permissive) and the Family Communication Patterns Theory discussion styles. Collected through convenience sampling methods from various universities and churches in Northern Ireland, 103 individuals (27 male and 76 female) between the ages of 15 and 25 (M = 19.61, SD = 1.68) participated. Based on reported behaviors as they relate to descriptions from the development and communication theories, each participant was placed into an associated parenting practice category. Responses to the researcher-created Perception of Political/Social Conflict Questionnaire were analyzed in relation to each parenting practice category. Results specific to mother-adolescent outcomes show that 59% fell within the authoritative parenting practice category, followed by “other” (23%), authoritarian (11%), and permissive (7%). Discussions about civil conflict did change slightly as a function of the parenting practice category. Suggestions for future theory development within family dynamics are discussed..
