Cunoștințele de psihosociologie sunt obligatorii pentru toți cei ce activează în industria publicității și în special pentru redactorii de reclame. Perspectiva psihosociologică ajută la depășirea viziunii simpliste a comunicării liniare și a plasării consumatorilor într-un vid social, ca și cum aceștia ar acționa independent de contextul care influențează receptarea mesajului publicitar. Fie că sunt texte în presa scrisă, spoturi pentru radio sau televiziune ori afișaj stradal, reclamele trebuie să țină cont de specificul publicului căruia i se adresează. Volumul le oferă studenților și specialiștilor în științele socioumaniste și în științele comunicării numeroase idei și analize ce aprofundează cunoașterea privind relațiile interpersonale în societate și influența socială prin mass-media și publicitate: de la trucuri menite să atragă atenția potențialilor consumatori, până la aspectele psihosociologice esențiale în conceperea reclamelor, precum cultura locală, sexul, vârsta, religia și clasa socială, sau situațiile în care sunt adecvate anumite tipuri de mesaje publicitare.

University of Chicago social neuroscientist John T. Cacioppo pioneered research on the startling effects of loneliness: a sense of isolation or social rejection disrupts not only our ability to think and will power but also our immune systems, and can be as damaging as obesity or smoking. On the flip side, social connection can be a powerful therapy. Cacioppo’s sophisticated studies relying on brain imaging, analysis of blood pres...
