راهنمای APA در مورد شخصیت و روانشناسی اجتماعی، جلد ۳ - روابط بین فردی

This four-volume handbook summarizes the current state of knowledge on major topics within the fields of personality and social psychology. Coverage is contemporary, is provocative, and sets an agenda for future work in the area. Volume 1 focuses on attitudes and social cognition, describing the two main directions in which this domain has moved over the past quarter century. First, there is increasing focus on the phenomenology of daily life, with emphasis on the contents and drivers of mundane daily life. These include emotional experience, religious beliefs, feelings of control and agency, the function of conscious thought, and how all of these underpin our sense of self and important social behaviors. The second trend has been toward a deeper understanding of basic human nature, with increasing focus on unconscious or implicit cognitive processes that influence virtually all facets of daily life (e.g., how power transforms how we think about others and what qualities we associate with leadership). Volumes 2 and 3 provide a broad framework to guide theorizing and research with respect to group processes and interpersonal relations in social psychology. Topics of discussion include theory and research on prejudice, stereotyping, and discrimination; intergroup and intragroup processes; and the formation, maintenance, and dissolution of relationships. Together, the chapters reflect a wide range of theoretical perspectives at different levels of analysis, including perspectives from disciplines outside of psychology (e.g., biology, neuroscience, health sciences, sociology). Volume 4 contains sections on personality processes and individual differences as well as sections on more holistic approaches, such as The Person in Context and The Person as a Whole. Authors provide not only the foundational material on their topic but also discuss the big issues or bones of contention and what they see as the ways forward to resolve these issues. -- Provided by publisher "When planning this volume, we (the editors) wanted to showcase some of the leading theoretical and empirical work that has been conducted in the rapidly expanding field of interpersonal relationships. We also wanted to identify a few of the most significant and potentially promising new directions for future research in various areas. After surveying the field, we identified seven broad areas in which especially good, interesting, and promising relationship-relevant research was occurring. These areas are organized around seven major themes: (a) major theoretical approaches, (b) biological-health approaches, (c) attraction- relationship development, (d) motivation-emotion, (e) communication-support-power, (f) friendship and love6sexuality, and (g) relationship maintenance-dissolution. The authors invited to write chapters for the volume were chosen in part to represent the diverse array of disciplines within relationship science, including clinical psychology, health psychology, social and personality psychology, family social science, communication studies, sociology, neuroscience, human sexuality, and marketing. We wanted to assemble authors from a broad array of disciplines so that wider swaths of the theoretical and empirical literature in relationship science would be covered. The authors were given a set of instructions before writing their chapters. We requested that each chapter be structured to accomplish three goals: (a) highlighting the most important principles, ideas, and findings relevant to the topic of the chapter; (b) identifying the most important and novel emerging themes or issues relevant to the topic; and (c) proposing new, promising directions for future research"--Introduction.

Each chapter tackles core issues on a specific topic, providing an up-to-date, theoretically integrated review of the literature. The topics covered by the chapters in this volume, however, do not consider all the meritorious topics on intragroup and intergroup processes. There are far too many important topics in the area at this time. Instead, the topics were selected to reflect some of the most active and promising areas in the study of group processes and intergroup relations. They blend core areas with new methodological and conceptual advances. Each chapter also illustrates the relevance of work in the area to other areas and to issues of practical importance, such as social justice, immigration, and collective action. In addition, each chapter outlines an agenda for future research. The authors were invited not only because of their accomplishment and expertise in the area but also because of their scholarly vision and imagination"--Introduction.
