Readings in Social Psychology by Wayne A. Lesko Pdf

This collection of readings gives readers broad exposure to the various sources of information available in the field of social psychology. Each chapter begins with an introduction and contains three articles: one popular, one classic, and one contemporary. Individual articles are preceded by a brief introduction and followed by "Critical Thinking Questions," which ask the reader to carefully examine some part of the article presented, speculate about generalizations and implications of the research, and in some cases, suggest new studies based on the information in the article. Classic articles are followed by "Additional Related Readings" which invite examination of more contemporary views on the same topic. Fourteen chapters cover the field of social psychology in depth, ranging from social perception to social cognition, attitudes, social identity, prejudice and discrimination, close relationships, social influence, prosocial behavior, aggression, groups and individual behavior, and applying social psychology to law, business, health, and the environment. The subject matter of individual articles runs the gamut from deception in experiments to nonverbal signals, date and stranger rape, forced compliance, bystander response to child abuse, the perils of groupthink, and much more. For anyone wanting to explore classic and contemporary views of human behavior.

Discursive Psychology by Cristian Tileagă,Elizabeth Stokoe Pdf

Discursive Psychology is the first collection to systematically and critically appraise the influence and development of its foundational studies, exploring central concepts in social psychology such as attitudes, gender, cognition, memory, prejudice, and ideology. The book explores how discursive psychology has accommodated and responded to assumptions contained in classic studies, discussing what can still be gained from a dialogue with these inquiries, and which epistemological and methodological debates are still running, or are worth reviving. International contributors look back at the original ideas in the classic papers, and consider the impact on and trajectory of subsequent work. Each chapter locates a foundational paper in its academic context, identifying the concerns that motivated the author and the particular perspective that informed their thinking. The contributors go on to identify the main empirical, theoretical or methodological contribution of the paper and its impact on consequent work in discursive psychology, including the contributors’ own work. Each chapter concludes with a critical consideration of how discursive psychology can continue to develop. This book is a timely contribution to the advance of discursive psychology by fostering critical perspectives upon its intellectual and empirical agenda. It will appeal to those working in the area of discursive psychology, discourse analysis and social interaction, including researchers, social psychologists and students.
