Produktbeschreibung
The nature of society is rapidly changing. Traditional social, cultural and geographic boundaries are being replaced with increasingly complex representations of identity. We are required to confront new ways of partitioning our social worlds, and this in turn creates new questions and demands for social scientists and policymakers. This volume offers, for the first time, an integrated approach to these questions and demands, exploring the psychological implications and applications of new forms of social and cultural diversity. Leading scholars from a diverse range of perspectives have been brought together to focus on the psychology of diversity. They discuss research from a wide range of sub-disciplines, including social identity, social cognition, creativity, self-confidence and stereotype threat, prejudice, intergroup contact, biculturalism, and organizational behavior. The volume documents advancements in the field and explores converging links between research programs examining this critical social issue. This book offers a crucial understanding of the psychology of social and cultural diversity in the 21st century that directly addresses social intervention and policy implications, and which calls for an enduring understanding and appreciation of the value of social and cultural diversity.
