Attitudes, Behavior, and Social Context
The reasons why people do not always act in accord with their attitudes has been the focus of much social psychological research, as have the factors that account for why people change their attitudes and are persuaded by such influences as the media. There is strong support for the view that attitude-behavior consistency and persuasion cannot be well understood without reference to the wider social context in which we live. Although attitudes are held by individuals, they are social products to the extent that they are influenced by social norms and the expectations of others. This book brings together an international group of researchers discussing private and public selves and their interaction through attitudes and behavior. The effects of the social context on attitude-behavior relations and persuasion is the central theme of this book, which--in its combination of theoretical exposition, critique, and empirical research--should be of interest to both basic and applied social psychologists.
Improving Intergroup Relations
This book is intended both as supplementary reading for courses and as a practical guidebook for individuals and programs interested in reducing prejudice and improving intergroup relations. It provides the only comprehensive review and compilation of techniques of improving intergroup relations. There's a huge amount of literature on the causes and nature of prejudice, reflecting great interest in the topic, but the literature on prejudice reduction is more scattered, spread across a range of theoretical and applied sources. This book brings these literatures together with an emphasis on helping to elucidate what works and why.

Permanently Online, Permanently Connected
Permanently Online, Permanently Connected establishes the conceptual grounds needed for a solid understanding of the permanently online/permanently connected phenomenon, its causes and consequences, and its applied implications. Due to the diffusion of mobile devices, the ways people communicate and interact with each other and use electronic media have changed substantially within a short period of time. This megatrend comes with fundamental challenges to communication, both theoretical and empirical. The book offers a compendium of perspectives and theoretical approaches from leading thinkers in the field to empower communication scholars to develop this research systematically, exhaustively, and quickly. It is essential reading for media and communication scholars and students studying new media, media effects, and communication theory.
Kirche am Abgrund
Kommen Sie mit auf einen Spaziergang durch Gemeinden, Verwaltungen und kirchliche Einrichtungen. In diesen Kurzgeschichten - und ein paar Gedichten - passiert all das, was Sie sich in ihren schlimmsten Träumen nicht vorstellen wollen. Das meiste würde sich auch niemals so ereignen, aber in den abgründigen Gedanken vieler Brüder und Schwestern in Christo vielleicht doch ;-) Kirchliches Leben findet nicht nur im Zentrum der Gemeinde statt, sondern wirkt weit in die Gesellschaft hinein, manchmal berührt das evangelische Treiben den profanen Alltag auch nur am Rande. Biblische Geschichten erwachen zum Leben, ein Philip-Marlowe-Plagiat macht sich auf die Suche nach Gottes Mörder und Abraham ist an allem Schuld.
Psychology as a Moral Science
What does morality have to do with psychology in a value-neutral, postmodern world? According to a provocative new book, everything. Taking exception with current ideas in the mainstream (including cultural, evolutionary, and neuropsychology) as straying from the discipline’s ethical foundations, Psychology as a Moral Science argues that psychological phenomena are inherently moral, and that psychology, as prescriptive and interventive practice, reflects specific moral principles. The book cites normative moral standards, as far back as Aristotle, that give human thoughts, feelings, and actions meaning, and posits psychology as one of the critical methods of organizing normative values in ...
