A tour de force. As a comprehensive review, it stands out as a unique resource not matched by any recent treatment of the group literature.--Marilyn Brewer, Professor of Psychology, University of California, Los Angeles. This advanced-level textbook analyzes how social psychology conceptualizes group cohesiveness and solidarity. Since 1950, the dominant perspective on this topic has been exposed through the concept of group cohesiveness: a concept tied to interpersonal processes among small interactive aggregates of people. Although repeatedly challenged, this perspective still thrives. In the first part of the book, Michael Hogg describes in detail the origins and nature of this concept, showing precisely how it has been modified, simplified, and ultimately reduced to personal attraction. A critique of reductionism in social psychology frames his central argument that problems with the group cohesiveness concept are due to its reduction of group processes to interpersonal processes. This critique sets the scene for the second part of the book, which presents an alternative, positive conceptualization of group cohesiveness and solidarity. This new perspective centers on social and self-categorization theories and presents current research in detail. Hogg uses new conceptual and methodological developments in social psychology to present an account of group cohesiveness more sophisticated and more complete than those based on a traditional understanding. The book ends with an examination of implications for our understanding of phenomena such as groupthink, social loafing, and group performance.

Sociologists and anthropologists have had a long interest in studying the ways in which cultures shaped different patterns of health, disease, and mortality. Social scientists have documented low rates of chronic disease and disability in non-Western societies and have suggested that social stability, cultural homogeneity and social cohesion may play a part in explaining these low rates. On the other hand, in studies of Western societies, social scientists have found that disease and mortality assume different patterns among various ethnic, cultural and social-economic groups. The role of stress, social change and a low degree of cohesion have been suggested, along with other factors as contributing to the variable rates among different social groups. Social cohesion has been implicated in the cause and recovery from both physical and psychological illnesses. Although there has been a large amount of work established the beneficial effects of cohesion on health and well-being, relatively little work has focused on HOW increased social cohesion sustains or improves health. This work is based on the premise that there are risk factors, including social cohesion that regulate health and disease in groups. One of the challenges is how to measure social cohesion – it can be readily observed and experienced but difficult to quantify. A better understanding of how social cohesion works will be valuable to improving group-level interventions.

Electronic Inspection Copy available for instructors here The field of social psychology is defined by a number of 'classic studies' that all students need to understand and engage with. These include ground-breaking experiments by researchers such as Asch, Festinger, Milgram, Sherif, Tajfel and Zimbardo. With the help of international experts who are renowned for work that has extended upon these researchers' insights, this book re-examines these classic studies through careful reflection on their findings and a lively discussion of the subsequent work that they have inspired. Organized in a way that way maps onto the content of most introductory courses, this title can work at a number of levels: as an accessible text for introductory classes that present a historical analysis of social psychology via its key studies, or as a broad-ranging text for higher-level courses that survey contemporary theory and encourage critical thinking. More generally, it is a compelling read for anyone who wants to know more about social psychology and the dramatic studies that lie at its heart.

This landmark theory of interpersonal relations and group functioning argues that the starting point for understanding social behavior is the analysis of dyadic interdependence. Such an analysis portrays the ways in which the separate and joint actions of two persons affect the quality of their lives and the survival of their relationship. The authors focus on patterns of interdependence, and on the assumption that these patterns play an important causal role in the processes, roles, and norms of relationships. This powerful theory has many applications in all the social sciences, including the study of social and moral norms; close-pair relationships; conflicts of interest and cognitive disputes; social orientations; the social evolution of economic prosperity and leadership in groups; and personal relationships.
