Description

Attribution concerns the scientific study of naive theories and common-sense explanations. This text provides a thorough and up-to-date introduction to the field, combining comprehensive coverage of the fundamental theoretical ideas and most significant research with an overview of more recent developments.

The author begins with a broad overview of the central questions and basic assumptions of attribution research. This is followed by discussion of the ways in which causal explanations determine reactions to success or failure and how our causal explanations of other people's actions shape our behaviour toward them. The manner in which attributions may shape communication, and how people often quite indirectly communicate their beliefs about causality, is also explained. Finally, the issue of changing causal connections in training and therapy is addressed.

With end of chapter summaries, further reading and exercises to illustrate key attribution phenomena, Attribution will be essential reading for students of social psychology and associated areas such as personality, educational, organisational and clinical psychology.



About the Author

Friedrich Forsterling is Professor of Psychologyat the Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich, Germany. His previous publications include Attribution Theory in Clinical Psychology (John Wiley & sons).



Reviews

'... a very well-written book which will provide a very good introduction to attribution theory.' - Denis Hilton, Universite de Toulouse

'This book provides a map of the terrain that will be invaluable to students and scholars beginning journeys through the sprawling attribution literature as well as to long dwellers there who have become disoriented.' - Michael Morris, Stanford University

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
