The Selected Works of R.B. Zajonc
Over the last four decades, R. B. Zajonc has continually pushed the limits of social psychology. Whether in the area of cognitive structure, social motives, affect and cognition, family structure and intelligence, or group hostility, Zajonc's contributions have opened up new avenues of thinking and research, and at times have heralded significant new trends in the field. This impressive collection of Zajonc's papers captures his quintessential style of research -- a style that is characterized by both simplicity and an effort to penetrate the fundamentals of social behavior. The text will bring historical depth and a strong sense of classical research to one and two semester social psychology courses. It is also the perfect compliment for the other two texts in Wiley's social psychology series: The Selected Works of Edward E. Jones by Daniel T. Gilbert and Social Beings: A Core Motives Approach to Social Psychology by Susan Fiske.
Why Good People Do Bad Environmental Things
Why do people behave in ways that cause environmental harm? Despite not wanting to create environmental problems, we all do so regularly in the course of living our everyday lives. This book looks at how social structures, incentives, information, habits, attitudes, norms, and the inherent characteristics of environmental resources explain and influence how we behave, and how those causes influence what we can do to change behavior.

General Register
Announcements for the following year included in some vols.
Emotions, Cognition, and Behavior
The seventeen contributions to this volume demonstrate the enormous progress that has been achieved recently in our understanding of emotions. Current cognitive formulations and information-processing models are challenged by new theory and by a solid body of empirical research presented by the distinguished authors. Addressing the problem of the relationship between developmental, social and clinical psychology, and psychophysiology, all agree that emotion concepts can be operationally defined and investigated as both independent and dependent variables. Cognitive and affective processes can no longer be studied in isolation; taken together, the chapters provide a useful map of an increasingly important and active boundary.
Measuring Identity
Abdelal, Herrera, Johnston, and McDermott have brought together leading scholars from a variety of disciplines to consider the conceptual and methodological challenges associated with treating identity as a variable, offer a synthetic theoretical framework, and demonstrate the possibilities offered by various methods of measurement.
Earshot
Earshot: Perspectives on Sound awakens an understanding of the decisive role that sound has played in history and culture. Although beginning with reference to antiquity, the primary focus is the changing status of sound and hearing in Western culture over the last six hundred years, covering the transition from the medieval period to the contemporary world. Since mythic times, sound has been an essential element in the formation of belief systems, personal and community identities and the negotiations between them. The varied case studies included in the book cover major reference points in the changing politics of sound, particularly in relation to the status of the other major conduit of social transactions, vision. Earshot is not a work of cultural theory but is anchored in social practices and material culture and is therefore a valuable resource for conveying sound to both undergraduate students as well as the general reader.
