Empathy and Birth Order: Some Experimental Explorations

Stotland, Ezra

Sherman, Stanley E.

University Of Nebraska Press

Why do people act the way they do? How do their desires and fears become known to us? When are our opinions of others correct, and when are they likely to be mistaken? These are questions which attribution theory tries to answer. Originally published in 1975, this title provides an informal introduction to the field of attribution, with the theoretical principles and issues illustrated in everyday examples. The origins of current attribution theory are outlined, and models of the inference process are examined. The intellectual debt owed to social psychology by the attribution theory is acknowledged, and an exploration of the interpersonal and social consequences of attribution is included.

Now in its third edition, Kelly Shaver's Principles of Social Psychology has won praise from students and instructors alike for its challenging "no nonsense" approach to the field. Thoroughly updated to reflect current research, the text retains the qualities that have become its hallmarks: a cognitive approach to the process of socialization, and an emphasis on the ideas that give the discipline continuity. It offers undergraduate psychology students clear, conceptually integrated discussions of all of the major topics in social psychology. Shaver's focus on the concepts of social psychology provides a framework for students to develop their own applications. The principles of social behavior are presented in the text in the same way they develop in the individual moving from internal processes (social perception, self-recognition) to external issues (the environment, the law) that influence behavior. Shaver weaves contemporary issues into his treatment of basic theories, using examples from everyday situations. His supple writing engages students in the complexity of social behavior, and is one reason Principles of Social Psychology remains one of the most highly regarded texts in the field.
