Neurosociology (eBook, PDF)

The Nexus Between Neuroscience and Social Psychology

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Recently, neuroscientists have presented new research which has a direct impact on many areas of Social Psychology. In this innovative volume, the author explores the nexus of Social Psychology and Neuroscience with relation to:

-The Human "Self" -The Social Nature of the Mind -Socialization and Language Acquisition -Role-Taking/Theory of Mind -Consciousness -Intersubjectivity -Balanced Social Constructionism -Human Agency -The Effect of Emotion on Rational Decision-Making

This groundbreaking work integrates areas of George Herbert Mead's social behaviorism with current neuroscience. The chapters in this volume demonstrate how current work on mirror neurons supports the basic tenets of the American pragmatists' focus on the priority of motor behavior.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:
"The intent of this book is to break down 'the walls between sociology and neuroscience to the benefit of both' ... . clearly intended for sociological social psychologists. ... How successful was this book in achieving the relevant depth and comprehensiveness of the issue raised above? Very successful in both respects. ... this book clearly identifies and explains the pivotal issues in this literature. ... the author has done an excellent as well as timely job in drawing out these implications."
