Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Theory and Problems of Social PsychologyThis book is designed for the teacher and the student who are primarily interested in the science of psychology as a systematic, interpretive account of human behavior and who are interested in applying the science of psy chology to current social issues. In attempting to meet these requirements the authors have not found it necessary to keep two sets of readers in mind or to treat the subject matter of this book from two points of view. The basic guiding principle has been that a theoretically sound social psychology is also a practically valid and immediately useful social psychology. Neither the pure scientist nor the man of action can neglect public opinion survey data or experiments on perceptual organization without running the risk of making his theory truncated and narrow or his program of action superficial and ineffective.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Social Psychology My debt to my students is greater, I am sure, than any of them can ever believe. The limitations of this book would be far greater than they are if several dozens of them had not patiently, kindly, and astutely criticized its preliminary edition, which they suffered as a text. Apart from this very practical help, moreover, the classroom is the crucible in which any textbook is fired, and to those several generations of students on whom I have tried out this theory or that manner of approach I am eternally grateful.

This book was released on 2016-10-01 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Integrating Principles of Social Psychology First, we are convinced that the psychological study of social behavior and experience must focus on the nature of the social individual. Second, we hold that the available facts of social behavior and experience provide strong support for a cognitive-theoretical position. Third, we believe that man's social behavior must be viewed as a constant process of adaptation; and, as a consequence, an adequate evaluation of man's place in nature requires a healthy respect for comparative psychological and ethological information. In essence, then, we are hopeful that this book will acquaint students with some of the ways in which social psychologists have approached the problem of understanding the individual's social behavior. We emphasize the word some: we have reviewed the problems we believe to be especially relevant to the field. And with the help of our integrating principles, or concepts, we hope that we have suggested ways of making some psycho logical sense out Of social confusion.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to Social Psychology Since this volume is designed to promote this change of practice, it is fitting that it should Open with a brief inquiry into the causes of the anomalous state of affairs at present Obtaining and with some indication of the way in which it is hoped that the change may be brought about. For there can be no question that the lack Of practical recognition of psychology by the workers in the social sciences has been in the main due to its deficiencies, and that the only way of establishing it in its true place is to make good these deficiencies. What, then, are these deficiencies, and why have they so long persisted? We may attempt very brie y to indicate the answers to these questions without presuming to apportion any blame for the long continuance Of these deficiencies between the professed psychologists and the workers in the social.

Download or read book The Social Psychology of Groups written by John W. Thibaut and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-29 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This landmark theory of interpersonal relations and group functioning argues that the starting point for understanding social behavior is the analysis of dyadic interdependence. Such an analysis portrays the ways in which the separate and joint actions of two persons affect the quality of their lives and the survival of their relationship. The authors focus on patterns of interdependence, and on the assumption that these patterns play an important causal role in the processes, roles, and norms of relationships. This powerful theory has many applications in all the social sciences, including the study of social and moral norms; close-pair relationships; conflicts of interest and cognitive disputes; social orientations; the social evolution of economic prosperity and leadership in groups; and personal relationships.
Download or read book The Social Psychology of Groups Classic Reprint written by John W. Thibaut and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-14 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Social Psychology of Groups Some of the implications of Ross's injunction, to begin with social interaction, may be seen by considering the distinctive aspects of social interaction that are revealed when it is compared with the simpler situation with which individual psychology has traditionally dealt. In the typical experiment in psychology the subject is in some manner under the management of the experimenter, who controls the presenta tion of stimuli, the Opportunities for behavior available to the subject, and, most importantly, the provision of diverse incentives and rewards for behavior. In general, by these various means, the experimenter exerts control over the behavior of the subject, and the procedures by which he does so constitute the independent variables of the experi ment. The behaviors that the subject actually, emits constitute, of course, the dependent variables. In these experiments it is usually assumed that the subject has no counter-control over the experimenter. What the subject does makes no difference to the investigator (at least if he is thoroughly in his scientific role of impartial seeker of truth), and even if it does make a difference it cannot be permitted to cause him to deviate from his pre arranged schedule of activities. This assumption must be valid if the two sets of variables are to have the status of independent and depend ent, in which the former can be viewed as antecedent to the latter in causal efficacy.
