What are the social consequences of religion? Every day the news is full of events that can be blamed on religion perpetrated by a range of groups from whole societies to individuals. Beit-Hallami and Argyle are renowned for their clear, analytical approach to topics and this new, state-of-the-art study of psychology and religion is...

Comprehensive and cross-cultural, this work examines such diverse subjects as: money and power, gender differences, morality and tax, the very rich, the poor, lottery and pools winners, how possessions and wealth affect self-image and esteem, why some people become misers and others gamblers, spendthrifts and tycoons, and why some people gain more pleasure from giving away money than from retaining it. Integrating literature from many disciplines, the book should be of interest to psychologists, sociologists, anthropologists and to people interested in business and economics.

Going to a party or seeing a doctor are familiar events for most of us, but recent research has shown that such social situations may have a psychological approach to the analysis of everyday social situations terms of their basic structure and features -- goals, rules, roles, physical setting, language and concepts, etc. -- which offers an explanation for the existence of categories of situations and of their particular properties.
The book not only documents the authors' own studies of real-life social situations, but also provides an extensive review of other literature in this field....

Social Encounters is an approach to social psychology that is not what one might expect to find in textbooks on this subject. As a companion to Social Interaction advocated by Michael Argyle and his associates, it has been used by a rapidly growing number of researchers in social psychology, and related aspects of ethology, anthropology, and linguistics. The two key ideas are to study the detailed processes of social interaction at the level of the elements of interaction, and to relate social behavior to its biological basis and cultural setting.
This work collects...
