Social Psychology and Social Theory
- Peter Lunt - University of Leicester, UK
The book contains and addresses the following: a discussion of the dispersal of social psychological topics across the humanities and social sciences; a view of social psychology as a variety of schools of thought with divergent theoretical origins (i.e. social constructionism, political critique, discursive traditions etc); an outline of the various approaches to social theory and their relevance in principle to different areas of the study and approaches to social psychology; and several chapters where key implications of social theory for a variety of areas of social psychology are discussed in depth including social identity, social representations, new paradigms in social psychology, social influence, social cognition and qualitative methodology.
Social Psychology and Social Theory will be important reading for advanced students and researchers in social psychology and sociology. It should also be of interest to those studying theory and psychology as well as philosophy of the social sciences courses.
