Harre and P.F. Secord, was the realization of the pointlessness of most attempts at an experimental study of social action. Further development of the original insights has led to much deeper interest in the structure of social events and the meanings of which they are composed. This interest has led to theoretical advances and novel empirical investigations. If social psychology is a nodal point for the sciences of man, it has been as singularly blind to the need for an explicit examination of the social conditions of action, and the methods by which they could be explored, as it has been to the need for a theory of persons with which to investigate the ways an individual can act as a competent member of a collective. \u003ci\u003eSocial Being\u003c\/i\u003e is an attempt to remedy these deficiencies in a systematic manner. However, explicit attention to the social settings of human action brings to light the almost wholly neglected temporal dimension of individual lives and changing societies. detail supported by wide ranging empirical observations. The work is rounded off with a brief exposition of the political consequences of taking the ethogenic approach to psychology, an approach in which men are seen as acting along two major dimensions: practical reason directs their actions towards the maintenance of life, while the demands of the expressive dimension prompt them to act in such ways as to promote other images of the selves they hope to be taken to be. philosophy of psychology and theoretical psychology.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface vi \u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Ways of Being 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I The Basic Concepts of a Social Psychology\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 The Problem of Social Being 11\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 People in Groups 34\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 People in Action 56\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart II Methods for Social Psychology\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Methods for Social Psychology 95\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Methods of Research: Alternatives to the Experiment 101\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 The Uses of Models I: Social Action as Problem Solving 125\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 The Uses of Models II: Social Action as Drama and as Work 146\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart III Individual Lives and Social Change\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Individual Lives and Social Change\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Practical and Expressive Orders 192\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Individual Lives as Social Trajectories 204\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 A Social Psychology of Social Change 225\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 The Social Psychology of Political Activity 256\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 275\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex of Names 281\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex of Subjects 284\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Psychology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Psychology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Psychology%20%5BJM%5D%22\"\u003eJM\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52472150589720,"sku":"9780631187820","price":38.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780631187820.jpg?v=1785719227","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/social-being-paperback-softback-9780631187820","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
