"This Sydney Symposium
volume, the third in a series, showcases
the best research done by a collection of
stellar scholars in social influence.
Collectively, they offer an integration
and re-conceptualization of social
influence phenomena, and help readers
appreciate how these phenomena permeate
myriad aspects of social thinking and
social behavior. Contributors make a
strong case for a comprehensive approach
to the many levels at which social
influence processes operate, from
subliminal and cognitive effects to
interpersonal and socio-cultural effects.
Since social influence plays such a
critical role in forensic settings, in
organizations, and in everyday life,
'Social influence: Direct and indirect
processes' will be of great interest to
anyone concerned with social influences
phenomena - students, researchers,
practitioners and laypersons alike."

| "What a great new book
- one that breathes fresh air into our
understanding of social influence by
revealing the subtle nuances of how
people affect one another. Ask social
psychology students about social
influence and they will give you examples
of 'direct' influence: conformity,
obedience, persuasion, group interaction.
In this cutting edge volume, an all-star
cast of social psychologists from six
countries show how subtle cognitive
processes create 'indirect' influence;
Social cognition meets social influence,
and the result is a big step forward for
social psychology. Kudos to Joe Forgas
and Kip Williams." |
