  1. xxiv, 785 pages : illustrations; 24 cm
Summary
  1. The author describes this volume as "fourteen largely independent chapters," which are essays on "research traditions" in social psychology, all scholarly and thoughtful, varying in depth and threat of difficulty for the undergraduate, and in style from chatty remarks about life at Harvard and MIT to relatively profound discussions of theory and research. These include an interesting account of the evolution of European pronouns of address to introduce the more conventional concepts of status, norms, social stratification, roles, and stereotypes, a more conventional discussion of consistency in attitude change, impressions of personality, group dynamics, collective behavior, and the psychology of the crowd. This volume is held together by the authors style, and the frankness with which he shares his thinking.
