Description
Setting the agenda for revitalizing social psychology, this volume explores societal psychology, a discipline which puts both the social context and the external environment back into the analysis of social behaviour, and contributes to informed debate on social issues.
Some contributors recast areas in social psychology in a societal perspective - the study of ideology, institutions and social behaviour, the self and collective behaviour. Others introduce new areas in which the approach is illuminating - the study of ethics, behavioural economics, the environment and genocide.
