Miles Hewstone Book order (chronological)

Moderní učebnice sociální psychologie hledá odpovědi na otázky, které zajímají nejen psychology, ale také pracovníky mnoha dalších profesí, kde je důležitá komunikace s lidmi: Jak si vytváříme dojem o druhých lidech? Jak předsudky působí na sociální přesvědčení a postoje? Co ovlivňuje skutečnost, že někoho máme rádi a jiný nám je nesympatický? Jak si vybíráme životního partnera? Učebnice kombinuje vědecký přístup se srozumitelným jazykem, je doplněna schématy a obsahuje pomůcky, které usnadňují studium - klíčová slova, shrnutí, otázky k zamyšlení, rozsáhlý slovníček. Kniha, která poprvé vyšla v roce 1988, pokrývá celou oblast sociální psychologie. Respektuje evropskou tradici a nabízí příklady odpovídající našemu kulturnímu zázemí. Na jejím vzniku se podílel rozsáhlý autorský kolektiv psychologů z různých evropských zemí.

Attribution concerns the scientific study of naive theories and common-sense explanations. This text provides a thorough and up-to-date introduction to the field, combining comprehensive coverage of the fundamental theoretical ideas and most significant research with an overview of more recent developments. The author begins with a broad overview of the central questions and basic assumptions of attribution research. This is followed by discussion of the ways in which causal explanations determine reactions to success or failure and how our causal explanations of other people's actions shape our behaviour toward them. The manner in which attributions may shape communication, and how people often quite indirectly communicate their beliefs about causality, is also explained. Finally, the issue of changing causal connections in training and therapy is addressed. With end of chapter summaries, further reading and exercises to illustrate key attribution phenomena, Attribution will be essential reading for students of social psychology and associated areas such as personality, educational, organisational and clinical psychology.

The articles have been carefully chosen to illustrate key theoretical developments in the field, as well as popular research programmes.

This is a comprehensive resource aimed at students, teachers and researchers of social psychology who want know more about a particular phenomenon, concept or theory. Every key topic is addressed by internationally recognized authorities.

This is the fifth, completely revised and updated edition of an introductory social psychology text that has had huge success in Europe and across the globe. It has been specially designed to meet the needs of students at all levels, with contributions written by leading social psychologists, each an acknowledged expert on the topics covered in a given chapter. An Introduction to Social Psychology benefits hugely from an updated range of innovative pedagogical features intended to catch the imagination, combined with a rigorous editorial approach, which results in a cohesive and uniform style accessible to all.
