New Releases by Elliot Aronson

Por que uma pessoa gosta de outra? O que leva um cidadão honesto a tomar uma atitude reprovável ou imoral? Como surgem o preconceito e a agressividade? O que faz alguém desprezar as próprias raízes para seguir uma organização terrorista ou seita religiosa dúbia? Essas são algumas das perguntas discutidas neste clássico das ciências humanas. "(...) o melhor livro já escrito sobre o campo da psicologia social." — Daniel Gilbert "Absolutamente sensacional. Elliot Aronson é brilhante!" — Eduardo Moreira Publicado pela primeira vez em 1972, O animal social se destaca por reunir uma produção científica de qualidade, um texto instigante e um tema que chama a atenção de simplesmente todo mundo: o comportamento humano. Referência nos estudos de psicologia social, este livro explica por que a pesquisa nessa área é tão relevante e como pode nos ajudar a compreender, e talvez começar a resolver, alguns dos problemas que afligem a sociedade contemporânea. Ao discutir questões perturbadoras como preconceito, cultura da violência e efeitos da comunicação – e da persuasão – de massa, passando por temas tão diversos como atração pessoal, bullying, política, propaganda e ética, Elliot e Joshua Aronson revelam os padrões e motivações que levam os seres humanos a agir de determinada forma. Acessível sem subestimar a inteligência do leitor, O animal social segue atingindo uma ampla gama de interessados. Sem nunca abandonar o rigor da pesquisa, abre-se a uma narrativa leve, espirituosa, pontuada com exemplos da vida real com os quais todos nos identificamos. Uma obra única que pensa a ciência do comportamento de forma exemplar. Ao nos levar a pensar naquilo que motiva nossas ações, O animal social se mostra um caminho inesgotável para refletirmos sobre nossas ações pessoais e comportamentos sociais.

Miért gondoljuk, hogy kevésbé vagyunk elfogultak, mint mások? Hogyan válhat egy becsületes ember korrupttá? Mitől függ a bizalom? Igaz, hogy a nők kevésbé agresszívek, mint a férfiak? Mi vonz minket másokhoz, és mitől szerethetnek bennünket? Miért keresünk bűnbakokat? A szociálpszichológia alapművének tekintett könyv bővített, javított kiadása – amelyet Elliot Aronson a fiával írt – olvasmányos összefoglaló a társadalom-lélektan legizgalmasabb jelenségeiről. Megismertet az előítéletek, a diszkrimináció, a propaganda, a háború, az elidegenedés, az agresszió, a társas kapcsolatok és a társadalmi feszültségek hátterével. A társas lény méltán vált generációk számára etalonná világszerte, mivel ötvözi a tudomány elismert módszereit és felismeréseit a tapasztalatokból fakadó bölcsességgel és a személyes történetek tanulságaival. A magával ragadó könyv, amely most új fordításban olvasható, nemcsak rengeteg új tudományos felismeréssel és kutatási eredménnyel szolgál, de továbbra is őrzi egyedi stílusát és szellemiségét.

A NEW EDITION UPDATED IN 2020 • Why is it so hard to say "I made a mistake" — and really believe it? When we make mistakes, cling to outdated attitudes, or mistreat other people, we must calm the cognitive dissonance that jars our feelings of self-worth. And so, unconsciously, we create fictions that absolve us of responsibility, restoring our belief that we are smart, moral, and right—a belief that often keeps us on a course that is dumb, immoral, and wrong. Backed by decades of research, Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me) offers a fascinating explanation of self-justification—how it works, the damage it can cause, and how we can overcome it. Extensively updated, this third edition has many recent and revealing examples, including the application of dissonance theory to divisive social issues such as the Black Lives Matter movement and he said/she said claims. It also features a new chapter that illuminates how cognitive dissonance is playing a role in the currently polarized political scene, changing the nation’s values and putting democracy itself at risk. “Every page sparkles with sharp insight and keen observation. Mistakes were made—but not in this book!” —Daniel Gilbert, author of Stumbling on Happiness “A revelatory study of how lovers, lawyers, doctors, politicians—and all of us—pull the wool over our own eyes . . . Reading it, we recognize the behavior of our leaders, our loved ones, and—if we’re honest—ourselves, and some of the more perplexing mysteries of human nature begin to seem a little clearer.” —Francine Prose, O, The Oprah Magazine

D’où vient notre besoin de justifier nos idées stupides, nos mauvaises décisions ? Pourquoi avons-nous tant de mal à reconnaître nos propres erreurs ? Lorsque nous faisons fausse route, nous invoquons les circonstances, nous rejetons la faute sur les autres, ou nous refusons tout simplement de l’admettre. Ainsi, nous persistons dans notre erreur, et les conséquences peuvent se révéler désastreuses. À l’aide d’une foule d’exemples, Carol Tavris et Elliot Aronson nous éclairent sur le fonctionnement de l’autojustification et son rôle décisif dans des domaines aussi divers que la politique, la justice, la médecine et les relations de couple. Comprendre le mécanisme psychologique de l’autojustification pour ne plus être condamnés à la subir : tel est le but de ce livre.

The jigsaw classroom is a cooperative learning technique with a three-decade track record of successfully reducing racial conflict and increasing positive educational outcomes. Not only does it open the door to warmer, closer friendships within and across ethnic boundaries, it has also proved effective at raising the self-esteem of students while improving their performance and increasing their liking for school and their enthusiasm about learning. The jigsaw technique was first developed in the early 1970s by psychologist Elliot Aronson and his students at the University of Texas and the University of California. Since then, hundreds of schools have used the jigsaw classroom with great success. With a new foreword by Joshua Aronson.
