Description and Table of Contents
Description
Written by sociologists, this text examines several theoretical views, not just symbolic interactionism, and presents comprehensive coverage of social psychology. Theories added to this edition include affect control theory, differential association theory, reasoned action theory and social control theory. The text shows how social psychology allows us to understand human behaviour. This edition contains two new chapters: socialization over the life course, and deviance and stigmatization. Race and gender are now incorporated throughout the book, while the sociology of emotion receives coverage in almost every chapter. Practical examples clarify the conceptual discussion and make it applicable to everyday life.
