Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Hypocrite, or Sketches of American Society, From a Residence of Forty Years This same true Yankee, if he wants a single copy of a certain book, will step into a bookstore, and ask how much a copy, if he will take fifty. Well, so much, replies the bookseller. Well, I'll take a copy, and show it to my uncle, cousin, or some other person. But here, he says, lay ing down the wholesale price of a single copy, I shall be back immediately! That's the last of him; and well he did not steal it. Hundreds and thousands of such tricks as these, on a larger or smaller scale, to which an honorable mind could not stoop, together with equivocation and denial of facts when there was no evidence, are the circumstances which indicate the true Yankee, no matter to what nation he may belong. It' is, however, admitted among the new-york mer chants, that the N ew-englanders are extremely cu at this system. Honorable men, whether of new-england or not, can have no objection to have the characters of such persons portrayed in their true light. In matters of religion, too, the true Yankee will be anything you please, with a very easy conscience. A Churchman, a Calvinist, a Quaker, a Baptist, a Papist, a Methodist, or a Mormon, will suit him equally well, so long as money can be made by his profession of faith. Joe Smith, the Mormon prophet, who says he has been several times in heaven and hell, is a true Yankee, of the true Yankee States. There are a great many Joe Smiths, in commerce, politics, and reli gion, throughout this great and glorious country, who may expect to receive some comfort from the following confessions.

The towns of the old world have alternations of penury and atflu ence. In them also picturesque squalor obtrudes itself upon an ugly splendour. But New York, above all other cities, is the city of contrasts. As America is less a country than a collection of countries, so New York is not a city it is a collection of cities.

Download or read book Cognitive Dissonance written by Joel Cooper and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2007-03-27 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ′Dr. Joel Cooper has been at the very forefront of research on dissonance theory for decades now. In this book, he provides a brilliant and engagingly-written review of the 50-year history of dissonance research and a masterful account of the ensuing developments in the theory. The book will be an outstanding resource for readers familiar with dissonance research and an enlightening introduction for those who are not′ - Professor Russell H. Fazio, Ohio State University Why is it that people who smoke continue to do so knowing how bad it is for them? What drives people to committing adultery even though they inherently believe this is wrong? What′s the outcome of this contradiction in the mind? Cognitive dissonance has been an important and influential theory since Leon Festinger published his classic work in 1957. It is known by every social psychologist, most psychologists of any stripe, and the lay public, making its way into such mainstream publications as The New York Times with increasing frequency and accuracy. Ultimately, dissonance has become one of the most popularly known expressions of social psychological insights, making its way into the literature in consumer, health and economic behavior, and has become a frequently used explanation of political behavior in the popular press and magazines. In marking the 50th anniversary of the theory′s inception, Joel Cooper - arguably the scholar most associated with dissonance research in the past few decades - has presented a beautiful, modern and comprehensive analysis of the state of dissonance theory. This book charts the progress of dissonance theory, assessing its impact not only within our understanding of psychology but in everyday experiences as well. It should be important reading for students in social psychology, either undergraduate or graduate, but equally relevant to a host of other readers who need to understand or share the same passions for appreciating the significance of cognitive dissonance in the human psyche.
