Opis

Unlike other texts for undergraduate sociological social psychology courses, this text presents the three distinct traditions in sociological social psychology--symbolic interactionism, social structure and personality, and group processes and structures--and emphasizes the different theoretical frameworks social psychological analyses are conducted within each research tradition. With this approach, the authors make clear the link between sociological social psychology, theory, and methodology. Students will gain a better understanding of how and why social psychologists trained in sociology ask particular kinds of questions; the types of research they are involved in; and how their findings have been, or can be, applied to contemporary societal patterns and problems.
