Download or read book Foundations of Interpersonal Attraction written by Ted L. Huston and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foundations of Interpersonal Attraction is intended to provide students of interpersonal relationships with a source book that reviews, integrates, and elaborates basic material concerned with interpersonal attraction—the affectional component of social relationships. All interpersonal relationships can be characterized, in part, by the strength and nature of the affectional tie between the persons involved. The ubiquity of attraction phenomena, and the extensive data that have begun to emerge concerning its nature, antecedents, and interpersonal correlates, provided the original rationale and impetus behind the development of the book. The book contains 16 chapters organized into five parts. Part I briefly highlights the history of attraction research and lays out some central themes related to conceptualizing and researching attraction. All persons develop attachments through social interaction, but the nature and antecedents of such feelings differ depending on the age and cognitive-developmental level of the persons involved as well as on the sociocultural context in which the interaction takes place. Part II is devoted to detailing these issues. Parts III and IV consist of a series of contributions that provide conceptual frameworks for studying attraction. Part V is devoted to romantic attraction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultural factors also mediate the formation and interpretation of first impressions. Different cultures have varying norms regarding personal space, greeting behaviors, and the display of emotions, which can influence how individuals perceive and are perceived upon initial encounters. For example, cultures that emphasize collectivism may prioritize consensus and group harmony, leading individuals to form impressions based on group affiliations rather than individual characteristics. Understanding these cultural dimensions is critical for navigating multicultural interactions and leveraging diversity to foster positive social perceptions. At its core, social psychology is the scientific study of how individuals perceive themselves in relation to others, how they are influenced by the social context, and how their behaviors are shaped by the presence of others, whether those others are real, imagined, or implied. Allport (1954) defined social psychology as the “scientific attempt to understand and explain how the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors of individuals are influenced by the actual, imagined, or implied presence of other human beings.” This definition encapsulates three essential components of social psychology: the individual, the social context, and the interaction between the two. Furthermore, social psychology is distinguished from other branches of psychology by its emphasis on the social environment. While other psychological disciplines such as clinical or developmental psychology may focus on individual differences, social psychology seeks to understand how social situations and group dynamics shape behaviors universally. The field investigates phenomena ranging from interpersonal relationships and group behavior to organizational dynamics and cultural differences.

Download or read book Social Groups in Action and Interaction written by Charles Stangor and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-10-16 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social Groups in Action and Interaction reviews and analyzes the human group as it operates to create both social good and, potentially, social harm. It summarizes current knowledge and contemporary research, with real-world examples in succinct yet engaging chapters, to help students understand and predict group behavior. Unlike other texts, the book considers a wide range of topics—such as conformity, leadership, task performance, social identity, prejudice, and discrimination—from both an intragroup and an intergroup perspective. By looking at behavior both within and between groups, it bridges the gap between these interconnected approaches. The second edition is thoroughly updated to include new discussion of the biology and neuroscience of group formation, recent developments in social identity theory, and recent advances in the study of social networks. It also includes questions for review and discussion in the classroom. It provides the most comprehensive and essential resource for courses on group dynamics and behavior.
Download or read book Psychotherapeutic Attraction written by Arnold P. Goldstein and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychotherapeutic Attraction is an experimental study that focuses on gauging whether the effects of relationship and attraction between therapist and patient are potent when it comes to psychotherapy, as both theory and research suggests. The book is not limited to the relationship between therapist and patient, as it also includes clinical reports of successful ""treatment"" of patients by diverse paraprofessionals and lay people. The book includes a short introduction of the psychotherapeutic relationship and interpersonal attraction; an analysis of direct structuring, trait structuring, and therapist structuring to the relationship of the therapist and patient as well as the effectiveness of therapy; and the effects of relationship and attraction in matching, modeling, and role-playing. The book is meant for psychotherapists, psychologists, and psychology undergraduates who wish to know if relationship, interaction, attraction, transference and co-transference between therapists, patients, and the people around them effect the therapy, as well as those who wish to improve current psychotherapy practices or seek alternative ones.
Download or read book Consistency in Cognitive Social Behaviour written by C.J. Mower White and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2015-06-19 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social psychology remains unbalanced as long as we study human behaviour exclusively ‘from the outside’, leaving out of account people’s own reasons for acting as they do. Originally published in 1982, the result of the author’s emphasis on the cognitive dimension is a much more complete and well-rounded textbook of social psychology than had previously been available. Beginning with an exploration of the various models that have been suggested to explain the whole range of social behaviour, the book goes on to argue that consistency – comparability, similarity, congruity – is the principle by which social behaviour can best be explained. It goes into the cognitive processes that determine social attitudes, ascription of certain characteristics to individuals, and the attraction we feel to some people but not others. It also shows how these processes can be extended and affected by group membership. Consistency is important, the author believes, because it allows the maximum prediction of others’ behaviour and guidance of our own. These functions are demonstrated by observing failures of consistency, such as occur in humour and in negative self-esteem, and the author examines these inconsistencies in a final chapter.
