Opis

This text provides an analysis of collective behaviour - a central topic in social psychology. Considering why individuals do or don't get involved in collective action, the book gives an overview of, and integrates, social psychology research on the relationship between the individual and society.

Recenzje

'This volume provides the reader with a useful review of previous psychological work on motivation to activism as well as an interesting example of a multimethodological original research project. their study gives us not only a better understanding of the motivations of activists and non-activists, it can also serve as a model for similarly ambitious projects with other populations.' - David A. Houston, University of Memphis
