Everyone has teased, nagged, betrayed, or lied to another person. Likewise, everyone has been the unfortunate object of such unpleasant behaviors. In this intriguing book, social psychologist Robin M. Kowalski examines the intricacies of six annoying interpersonal behaviors: complaining, teasing, breaches of propriety, worry and reassurance-seeking, lying, and betrayal. She considers the functions of these behaviors, the types of people who are inclined to do them, the consequences for victims and perpetrators, and the ways in which such behaviors might be curtailed.Complaining, Teasing, and Other Annoying Behaviors provides for the first time a multifaceted picture of common annoying behaviors. The book answers these questions and many others:• Why do people tease?• What are the consequences of annoying behaviors for the people involved?• Is there a positive side to irritating behaviors?• Are people more likely to lie to those close to them or to strangers?• Do excuses and apologies diminish the hurtful effect of unpleasant behaviors?• What is the relation of gender and culture to specific annoying acts?

Students often get lost in the details ... most will never take a second psychology course ... they often have trouble relating the material to their everyday lives... Building on a foundation laid in Kowalski/Westen Psychology 4e to help students see the practical applications of psychology, the new Fifth Edition of Kowalski's Psychology includes more specific applications aimed at reinforcing the use of psychology in everyday life. This new edition has been updated with new information, while at the same time made shorter and less "busy" and contains fewer big picture questions. The 5th edition also includes an increased emphasis on research, with a goal of getting the students to start thinking like psychologists. Research is presented in a way that both applies the psychological concepts discussed and that shows how these constructs relate to students and others on a daily basis.
