Charles Stangor

Social Groups in Action and Interaction (eBook, PDF)

2nd Edition

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This textbook reviews and analyzes the human group as it operates to create both social good and, potentially, social harm. It uniquely blends social psychological research on intra-group behavior with research on inter-group behavior to give a more rounded perspective on the dynamics of social groups. In addition, topics that are not unique to either of these two approaches, and yet which are important aspects of group relations, such as culture, are also covered in depth. As such, this thoroughly revised 2nd Edition provides the most wide-ranging and contemporary resource for courses on group dynamics and behavior.
