Cultural Differences in Reaction to Failure
Differences in reaction to personal failure between Western and Far Eastern cultures are explained by differences in cognitive organization. American students who had failed and some who had excelled were compared to similar Far Eastern students. American students react to failure by maintaining a low interrelationship among all the variables studied (the interpersonal failure message and intrapersonal cognitions about the self) indicating a somewhat flexible cognitive organization. The Far Eastern students react to failure by showing a low relationship between the failure message and self cognitions, and a high, inflexible, interrelationship among the self cognitions. The findings have practical significance for social and economic development in the Far East. (Author).

The Psychology of Property Law
Considers how research in psychology offers new perspectives on property law, and suggests avenues of reform Property law governs the acquisition, use and transfer of resources. It resolves competing claims to property, provides legal rules for transactions, affords protection to property from interference by the state, and determines remedies for injury to property rights. In seeking to accomplish these goals, the law of property is concerned with human cognition and behavior.

Handbook of Social Resource Theory
Our lives as human beings are characterized by production and use of social resources, material (e.g., money and physical possessions) as well as immaterial (such as love, knowledge, and power). Distribution and exchange of these resources are central to individuals’ physical and mental health and quality of life. Over the past four decades, Social Resource Theory (SRT) has evolved to build vital links between social psychology and public policy, providing a valuable lens for understanding and addressing social class, inequality, and injustice. The recent conceptual and theoretical developments and future prospects of this robust field are on full display in this Handbook of Social Resourc...
Structures of Social Life
Alan Page Fiske shares insight on the basic models of social relations in this “important book that will be of value to all psychologists with an interest in organization, culture, economic behavior, and decision making” (Richard E. Nisbett, University of Michigan). Structures of Social Life examines the relational models of social relationships, including how they are implicit in earlier social theories, how they have emerged into diverse domains of social action and though, and how they produce diverse and complex social forms. Aiming to create conversations and debate about social relationships and the models that structure them, Alan Page Fiske provides insight on the four elementary forms of human relations.
