"Social Psychology takes a sociological approach to the study of the individual in relationship to society. It's main purpose is is to highlight how social psychology provides varied, yet inter-related, explanations for individuals' experiences in groups. The text tells the story of how these dynamics unfold, beginning with the central social characteristics of the individual, to processes of perception and of interaction. In the telling of this story, it also notes some of the interesting cross-cultural comparisons in regard to these dynamics. Throughout, the authors use three themes that underscore the reciprocal relationship between individuals and the social worlds: -the various "domains" of social psychology are interrealted. -an individual's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors depend upon the social context, such as status and power structures. -social psychological processes act as a micro or individual-level foundation for "macro" or group-level phenomena, such as group structures, organizational cultures, health inequalities, educational patterns, crime rates, social movements, or large scale social processes in general. inclusive of the domains of symbolic interactionism and group processes, and with recognition of how intra-individual processes contribute to the understanding of identities and status processes. The main purpose of the book is to highlight how social psychology provides varied, yet inter-related, explanations for individuals' experiences in groups. The text will weave a story of how these dynamics unfold, beginning with the central social characteristics of the individual, to processes of perception and of interaction. In the telling of this story, the text will also note some of the interesting cross-cultural comparisons in regard to these dynamics. A hallmark of the intended text will be the connections it makes between areas within social psychology and the basis it lays for recognizing the value of social psychological arguments in understanding other sociological phenomena. Features: Makes the connections between areas within social psychology to understanding sociological phenomena. Uses vivid examples to open each chapter. Cocrete example, drawn from situations relevant to students, moments in history, familiar passages in novels, or scenes from movies. The broad scope of this text will appeal to undergraduates as well as offer an overview of the field to graduate students and to scholars in other substantive areas who may find social psychological tools useful to their own pursuits in stratification, organization, culture and criminology. Illustrates sub-topics within chapters with details of interesting foundational studies and lays the basis in each chapter for the employment of supplementary, original articles"--
