Excerpt from The Psychology of Status The intent of the following discussion is to show the necessity of distinguishing between objective and subjective status. There is no intent, however, to minimize the importance of objective status as a variable correlated with subjective status or as a variable that partially determines subjective status.

Social Psychology is the scientific study of how individuals think, feel, and behave in social contexts. It explores how people are influenced by their social environment and the presence of others, whether real, imagined, or implied. Social psychology bridges psychology and sociology, drawing on both fields to understand human behavior in social situations. Social psychology provides a comprehensive understanding of how social interactions shape human behavior. It emphasizes the power of the social environment and the complex interplay between individual characteristics and situational factors. By exploring these interactions, social psychology helps explain a wide range of human behaviors and contributes to addressing social issues.

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.
