About the Author

Susan T. Fiske, Ph.D.?is author of numerous journal articles and the Wiley college textbook, Social Beings, 1998, and with Gardner Lindzey and Daniel Gilbert, editor of the 4th edition of the Handbook of Social Psychology, McGraw-Hill 1998. Current editor of Annual Review of Psychology, (2000-2010). Professor Fiske's research addresses how stereotyping, prejudice, and discrimination are encouraged or discouraged by social relationships, such as cooperation, competition, and power.

Daniel T. Gilbert, Ph.D. His popular Stumbling onto Happiness, published by Knopf in May 2006 reflects his research on affective forecasting, which is an attempt to understand how and how well people predict their emotional reactions to future events.

Reviews

Not just a handbook, this can be considered the bible on social psychology. The two volumes consist of three parts: "The Science of Social Psychology," "The Social Being," and "The Social World." Fiske (psychology, Princeton Univ.), Daniel T. Gilbert (psychology, Harvard Univ.), and the late Gardner Lindzey (former president, American Psychological Assoc.) include 37 extensive articles written by world-renowned experts on such topics as the history of social psychology, social cognitive neuroscience, motivation, emotion, mind perception, morality, relationships, influence and leadership, and cultural psychology. The value of this set lies in the extensive coverage of each topic, including historical themes and overviews, leading research, practical examples, and a wealth of references. Each chapter is like reading a condensed book on the subject. As an example, the handbook illustrates how the critical contexts of each era, from the 1930s to the 2000s, affect group dynamics, attitudes, and social perception and cognition. There are numerous illustrations and diagrams that illuminate difficult topics. Bottom Line Since its publication in 1935, this has proven to be the foremost reference for academics, researchers, and graduate students in psychology, as it offers the most current, well-researched, and thorough information in social psychology. In addition, the volumes are well written, and the information is accessible and valuable to a wide audience. Highly recommended.-Kathleen A. Welton, Chicago Copyright 2010 Reed Business Information.
