Description

"Then a Miracle Occurs is a collection of papers focusing on a multiplicity of issues surrounding behavior. Social psychology has contributed a great deal to our understanding of behavior and its antecedents, and there is considerable utility in drawing together such work in one place. However, thought there has been great progress in elucidating the internal cognitive, affective and motivational underpinnings of behavior, much less research has focused on external behavior itself. While psychology has focused on the internal states of individuals, the study of actual observed behavior has become overly neglected. Then a Miracle Occurs identifies the theoretical gaps, the empirical needs, and the focal issues that still demand attention." "Bringing together well-known scholars from personality and social psychology to discuss ways that social psychological research can be more effective, Then a Miracle Occurs focuses on bringing behavior and social interaction back to the forefront of examination. The book examines one of the biggest problems in modern social psychological research and presents an array of methods and approaches to remedy the current trend in the field."--Jacket.
