Fitting In and Getting Happy
Author: Olga Stavrova
Publisher: Campus Verlag
ISBN: 3593500566
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 199
Book Description
Do unemployment, religiosity, or morality play a role in people's perception of happiness and well-being? Using large-scale survey data from more than 70 countries, Olga Stavrova shows that happiness to a large extent is conditional on a match between individuals' attributes and the socio-cultural characteristics of the environment they live in."

Attitudes, Behavior, and Social Context
Author: Deborah J. Terry
Publisher: Psychology Press
ISBN: 1135685878
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 406
Book Description
The reasons why people do not always act in accord with their attitudes has been the focus of much social psychological research, as have the factors that account for why people change their attitudes and are persuaded by such influences as the media. There is strong support for the view that attitude-behavior consistency and persuasion cannot be well understood without reference to the wider social context in which we live. Although attitudes are held by individuals, they are social products to the extent that they are influenced by social norms and the expectations of others. This book brings together an international group of researchers discussing private and public selves and their interaction through attitudes and behavior. The effects of the social context on attitude-behavior relations and persuasion is the central theme of this book, which--in its combination of theoretical exposition, critique, and empirical research--should be of interest to both basic and applied social psychologists.

Personality and Person Perception Across Cultures
Author: Yueh-Ting Lee
Publisher: Psychology Press
ISBN: 1134808224
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 314
Book Description
Neither human nature nor personality can be independent of culture. Human beings share certain social norms or rules within their cultural groups. Over 2000 years ago, Aristotle held that man is by nature a social animal. Similarly, Xun Kuang (298-238 B.C.), a Chinese philosopher, pointed out that humans in social groups can not function without shared guidance or rules. This book is designed to provide readers with a perspective on how people are different from, and similar to, each other --both within and across cultures. One of its goals is to offer a practical guide for people preparing to interact with those whose cultural background is different from their own.

Languages : en
Pages : 769
Book Description
Measures of Personality and Social Psychological Attitudes: Volume 1 in Measures of Social Psychological Attitudes Series provides a comprehensive guide to the most promising and useful measures of important social science concepts.

These topics are followed by discussions of measures of social anxiety, which is conceived a major inhibitor of social interaction, as well as the negative states of depression and loneliness.

The final chapters look into the measures related to authoritarianism, androgyny, and values. This book is of great value to social and political scientists, psychologists, nurses, social workers, non-academic professionals, and students.
