Download or read book The Social Psychology of Mental Health written by Diane N. Ruble and published by Guilford Publication. This book was released on 1992 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concerned with the interface of individuals and society, social psychological research is ideally positioned to foster cross-disciplinary research on a wide array of mental health problems. Illustrating the reciprocal relationship between the two, this volume shows how basic research in social psychology can help elucidate mental health problems and, conversely, how mental health problems stimulate further development of basic theory. Authored by leading researchers who represent the various subdisciplines of social psychology, chapters address the current issues and major processes in each subdiscipline, and how they can best contribute to mental health application. An outgrowth of a series of NIMH-sponsored workshops, the volume is unusually cohesive: Each chapter represents a considerable exchange of thought and each contributor is aware of the issues and arguments covered by other chapter authors. Following an introductory overview, the book examines such topics as the implications of research on social development for mental health, the social psychological foundations of stress and coping, the connection between external socialization and adaptive individuation, and the mental health consequences of race. Chapters also discuss what research reveals about the dynamics of interpersonal relationships, the influence of social factors on cognition, and the operation of attitudes, expectations, prejudice, and stigma. The mental health implications of attitude and consistency theories are discussed, as are challenges to self-definition. THE SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY OF MENTAL HEALTH is invaluable reading for both students and investigators in social psychology, sociology, and clinical psychology. In providing a contextual lens with which to observe mental health problems and envision future contributions from this field, the book will be of interest to all mental health clinicians and researchers, regardless of discipline.
Download or read book Social Psychology and the Unconscious written by John A. Bargh and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evidence is mounting that we are not as in control of our judgments and behavior as we think we are. Unconscious or ‘automatic’ forms of psychological and behavioral processes are those of which we tend to be unaware, that occur without our intention or consent, yet influence us on a daily basis in profound ways. Automatic processes influence our likes and dislikes for almost everything, as well as how we perceive other people, such as when we make stereotypic assumptions about someone based on their race or gender or social class. Even more strikingly, the latest research is showing that the aspects of life that are the richest experience and most important to us - such as emotions and our close relationships, as well as the pursuit of our important life tasks and goals - also have substantial unconscious components. Social Psychology and the Unconscious: The Automaticity of Higher Mental Processes offers a state-of-the-art review of the evidence and theory supporting the existence and the significance of automatic processes in our daily lives, with chapters by the leading researchers in this field today, across a spectrum of psychological phenomena from emotions and motivations to social judgment and behavior. The volume provides an introduction and overview of these now central topics to graduate students and researchers in social psychology and a range of allied disciplines with an interest in human behavior and the unconscious, such as cognitive psychology, philosophy of mind, political science, and business.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume demonstrates that stigma is a normal - albeit undesirable - consequence of people's limited cognitive resources, and of the social information and experiences to which they are exposed. Incorporated are the perspectives of both the perceiver and the target; the relevance of personal and collective identities; and the interplay of affective, cognitive, and behavioral processes. Particular attention is given to how stigmatized persons make meaning of their predicaments, such as by forming alternative, positive group identities.
Download or read book Social Psychology of Health and Illness written by Glenn S. Sanders and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This books describes how and why "distant" social influences, such as socialization practices, interpersonal relationships, and social organization, are often just as important as medical considerations in determining an individual's tendency toward health or illness. The essays describe some of the pathways through which these social influences are exerted and also offer suggestions as to how these influences can be swayed in the direction of good health. The editors' broader aim is to stress the importance of social psychological orientation as a useful conceptual tool for the analysis of health and illness.

Download or read book Critical Social Psychology of Social Class written by Katy Day and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-10-12 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues for the importance of considering social class in critical psychological enquiry. It provides a historical overview of psychological research and theorising on social class and socio-economic status; before examining the ways in which psychology has contributed to the surveillance, regulation and pathologisation of the working-class ‘Other’. The authors highlight the cost of recent austerity policies on mental health and warn against the implementation of further austerity measures in the current climate The book pulls together perspectives from critical social psychology, feminist psychology, sociology and other critical research which examines the discursive production of social class, classism and classed identities. The authors explore social class in educational and occupational settings, and analyse the intersections between class and other social categories such as gender, race, ethnicity and sexuality. Finally, they consider key issues in debates around social class in the broader social sciences, such as the limitations of approaches informed by poststructuralist theory. This book will be a useful resource for both academics and students studying class from a critical perspective.
