Social Beings by Susan T Fiske
Offering a refreshingly new approach, while maintaining the standard chapter topics of traditional social psychology texts, Susan Fiske's SOCIAL BEINGS conveys the excitement and vitality of this fascinating field, and captures students' imaginations by connecting the material to their everyday lives. Fiske provides a highly readable and engaging narrative flow based on the five core social motives repeatedly identified by personality and social psychologists: Belonging, Understanding, Controlling, Enhancing Self, and Trusting. Throughout, the book integrates material showing the field's relevance to human problems and incorporates motivation, social evolution, and culture, not as after-thoughts, but as intrinsic features of the text.Susan T.Fiske is a Princeton University Eugene Higgins Professor of Psychology. She holds honorary doctorates from the Université catholique de Louvain-la-Neuve in Belgium and the Universiteit Leiden in the Netherlands, as well as a Harvard Ph.D. She recently completed the third edition of Social Cognition, which she co-authored with Shelley Taylor in 1984, 1991, and 2008. She has authored over 200 papers and chapters, as well as editing numerous books and special issues of journals. She edits the Annual Review of Psychology (with Daniel Schacter and Robert Sternberg) and the Handbook of Social Psychology (5th edition, 2010, with Daniel Gilbert and Gardner Lindzey) as part of her endeavor to stay current in the profession she loves.
