Contemporary Social Psychological Theories

"This book presents the most current and rigorously tested theories in sociological social psychology. Never before have all major branches of this tradition been brought together in such a comprehensive manner, with such emphasis on the theories that will propel the discipline forward. This state of the art collection will certainly find a niche among individuals intersted in group processes and, more generally, social psychology."--Shane R. Thye, University of South Carolina
"This volume makes an immense contribution to the field, organizing and summarizing recent empirical findings within the context of larger theoretical ambitions. The theories discussed here represent the best programs of quantitative theory construction and the authors are among the most influential scholars in the discipline."--Peter Callero, Western Oregon University
