Cambridge University Press The Nature of Hate
Book SynopsisWhat is hate and why is there so much of it? How does it originate, and what can we do about it? This book opens with a discussion of how hate makes its presence felt in the real world, discussing various definitions and theories of hate. Next it describes a duplex - two-part - theory of hate. According to the first part of the theory, hate has three components: negation of intimacy, passion, and commitment. According to the second part of the theory, this structure of hate originates from stories people create about the target - that, say, a group comprises enemies of God, or monsters, or vermin, or power-crazy tyrants, or any of a number of other stories. The authors discuss hate in the context of interpersonal relationships, survey the role of propaganda in inciting hate and analyze the role of hate in instigating terrorism, massacres, and genocides.Trade Review"...compact, scholarly, and highly readable volume...The reader is presented with a diverse and compelling panorama of contexts of hate—political, historical, military, terrorist, and in personal relationships and many others. The basic conceptual perspective of The Nature of Hate is social psychological, but the focus is broad scaled. Stylistically, the book is aimed at a general audience...This book could certainly serve as a textbook for an advanced undergraduate class or graduate seminar, complemented with journal research articles. It is relatively brief...engagingly written...intriguing and insightful..." --Arthur G. Miller, PsycCRITIQUESTable of Contents1. The problem: the role of hate in the world; 2.

Cambridge University Press The Normal Personality
Book SynopsisIn The Normal Personality, Steven Reiss argues that human beings are naturally intolerant of people who express values significantly different from their own. Reiss shows how normal motives underlie many personality and relationship problems. Reiss applies his theory of motivation to leadership, human development, relationships, and counselling.Trade Review'… In a time when children, and even household pets, swallow Prozac, Reiss revives a neglected diagnosis for worrywarts, wallflowers, daydreamers, pessimists, and eccentrics alike: normal. He broadens normality by outlining how abnormal behaviors can arise when life motives are obstructed or personal values contradicted. Reiss lists how various combinations of 16 basic desires lead to dilemmas that eventually bring people to counseling. He offers a way to manage personal problems, without cracking the medicine cabinet or the skeleton closet.' Science NewsTable of Contents1. My wife thinks something is wrong with me; 2.

Cambridge University Press Pragmatism and Methodology
Book SynopsisDesigned for social scientists working with big data sets, this book maps out the cycle of research, from epistemology and ethical questions to data collection and analysis. It introduces a unique mixed methods approach by integrating qualitative and quantitative methods. This book is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.Trade Review'This book offers a more than welcome clarification of the role of pragmatism as a framework for several methodological contexts. It is very important for qualitative, mixed methods, and big data research, and for the methodological foundation of psychological research. It is clearly written and very accessible for various audiences.' Uwe Flick, Freie Universität Berlin, Germany'We must congratulate the authors for this bountiful attempt to cross the divide between the quantitative and qualitative research communities. Their choice of philosophic pragmatism as the vehicle for this uniting is right on target, and their concern with ethical implications adds vital dimension to the ongoing dialogues. This is a vitally needed reflection.' Kenneth J. Gergen, Swarthmore College, USA'This remarkable book insists that social research should work on expanding human possibilities in ethical, imaginative, and responsive ways. Building on early American pragmatism, the authors argue that complex multifarious human interests can only be addressed by mixing different research methods. Their stance greatly contributes to current debates on truth, post-truth, epistemology, and useful knowledge, among other fundamental issues.' Ivana Markova, University of Stirling, UK'This book should be used in introductory research methods courses, to complement the standard texts. Students will enjoy this book, which presents a clear and elegant introduction to research methodology from a pragmatist perspective, with a leaning toward mixed methodology.' Fathali M. Moghaddam, Georgetown University, USA'Informative, insightful, and eminently practical. Gillespie, Glăveanu, and de Saint Laurent capture the spirit of pragmatist thinking, redevelop it in the context of contemporary problems, and present it to us in a way that is timely and reinvigorates social scientific inquiry.'
