As an applied science standing at the crossroads of so many disciplines, social psychology should have great potential for offering insight into countless aspects of our social lives. But teachers and students of social psychology often lament that the relevance of the subject to 'the real world' can remain obscure, as can the applicability of theories and models which continue to provide th4e foundation of the subdiscipline. Applying Social Psychology really does apply social psychology. It not only considers research which has been applied directly to social issues but also evaluates the process whereby social psychology has been and can be applied to an understanding of the social world.Working to a common format in each chapter, the text is organised around key aspects of our lives (including work, education, health, sport, conflict, communication, economic life, crime, the environment), illustrating how multiple perspectives can work together to help understand the complexities of our social world.

Gender and Psychology

'Gender and Psychology' provides a balanced overview of existing gender research in psychology, deliberately adopting a multiple perspective approach. The book begins by introducing the reader to the main theoretical standpoints and debates in the field. The following chapters cover major issues which are of central importance to the topic: emotion, cognition, identity and masculinity. The book is divided into three sections: 'Themes and Perspectives' considers meta-issues, such as debates around sexuality, feminism and biology; 'The Life Span' looks at the role of gender from childhood to old age; and 'Health, Well-being and Society' surveys the place of gender in relation to key social concerns. Written by a team of European scholars, the book includes exercises, discussion topics and activities, as well as suggestions for further reading.

Pure Sport: Practical Sport Psychology

Are you "only as good as your last game"? Is it really just a matter of "keeping your eye on the ball"? Pure Sport: Practical Sport Psychology explains in everyday language the whys and wherefores of contemporary sport psychology – pinpointing what works and what doesn’t when it comes to performance enhancement. As the title suggests, Pure Sport goes back to basics by highlighting practical concerns for those who are involved with competitive sport at every level – from junior club to international élite. Drawing on their considerable experience as both academic researchers and applied sport psychologists, the authors present a powerful array of techniques for channelling and harnessing mental skills with the goal of improving sporting performance. The interventions that they describe have all been tried and tested in competitive settings, but here, for the first time, the psychological techniques underlying them are brought together in a single volume that uniquely blends sound theory with good practice. Liberally sprinkled with practical examples, evocative photographs and clear diagrams, Pure Sport is essential reading for anyone with an active involvement or interest in sport. It will help coaches, teams and sports people alike to develop their mental edge and so realise their true potential in sport and through sport.
