Undying love, friendships gone wrong, and inspirational leadership. Social Psychology: Goals in Interaction introduces the student to the fascinating mysteries of social behavior. By revealing the motives behind social behavior—whypeople love, hate, lead, and follow, for example—and bridging the person and the social situation, KNC actively engages the students' natural curiosity while providing the only textbook with a truly integrative, coherent approach.
Social Psychology textbooks typically provide a laundry list of interesting, but disconnected facts and theories. This standard approach grabs interest but falls short as a way to learn. Kenrick, Neuberg, and Cialdini instead provide an integrative approach, one that both builds upon traditional lessons learned by the field and pushes those lessons to the cutting-edge.
Expanding the integrative theme in this edition, KNC highlights social psychology as theultimate bridge discipline—connecting the different findings and theories of social psychology, exploring the field's links to other areas of psychology e.
Opening mysteries: Each chapter begins with a mystery, designed not only to grab student interest, but also to organize the ensuing discussion of scientific research:Why did the beautiful and talented artist Frida Kahlo fall for the much older, and much less attractive, Diego Rivera, and then tolerate his numerous extramarital affairs? What psychological forces led the Dalai Lama, the most exalted personage in Tibet, to forge a lifelong friendship with a foreign vagabond openly scorned by Tibetan peasants?
Why would a boy falsely confess to murdering his own mother? The authors are each well-known researchers who have contributed cutting edge findings to the field. Looking for additional resources to help you understand the material and succeed in this course?

Jean Henri Fabre , an entomologist, considered instinct to be any behavior which did not require cognition or consciousness to perform. Fabre's inspiration was his intense study of insects, some of whose behaviors he wrongly considered fixed and not subject to environmental influence. Instinct as a concept fell out of favor in the s with the rise of behaviorism and such thinkers as B. Skinner, which held that most significant behavior is learned.
An interest in innate behaviors arose again in the s with Konrad Lorenz and Nikolaas Tinbergen, who made the distinction between instinct and learned behaviors. Our modern understanding of instinctual behavior in animals owes much to their work. For instance, there exists a sensitive period for a bird in which it learns the identity of its mother. Konrad Lorenz famously had a goose imprint on his boots.
Thereafter the goose would follow whoever wore the boots. This suggests that the identity of the goose's mother was learned, but the goose's behavior towards what it perceived as its mother was instinctive. The term 'instinct' in psychology was first used in the s by Wilhelm Wundt. By the close of the 19th century, most repeated behavior was considered instinctual.
In a survey of the literature at that time, one researcher [ who? In , McDougall argued that the word 'instinct' is more suitable for describing animal behaviour, while he recommended the word 'propensity' for goal directed combinations of the many innate human abilities, which are loosely and variably linked, in a way that shows strong plasticity. By the year , a survey of the 12 best selling textbooks in Introductory Psychology revealed only one reference to instincts, and that was in regard to Sigmund Freud's referral to the 'id' instincts.
Sigmund Freud considered that mental images of bodily needs, expressed in the form of desires, are called instincts. Psychologist Abraham Maslow argued that humans no longer have instincts because we have the ability to override them in certain situations.
He felt that what is called instinct is often imprecisely defined, and really amounts to strong drives. For Maslow, an instinct is something which cannot be overridden, and therefore while the term may have applied to humans in the past, it no longer does. The book Instinct: an enduring problem in psychology [8] selected a range of writings about the topic.
Mandal proposed a set of criteria by which a behavior might be considered instinctual: a be automatic, b be irresistible, c occur at some point in development, d be triggered by some event in the environment, e occur in every member of the species, f be unmodifiable, and g govern behavior for which the organism needs no training although the organism may profit from experience and to that degree the behavior is modifiable.
In a classic paper published in , [10] the psychologist Richard Herrnstein wrote: 'A comparison of McDougall's theory of instinct and Skinner's reinforcement theory — representing nature and nurture — shows remarkable, and largely unrecognized, similarities between the contending sides in the nature-nurture dispute as applied to the analysis of behavior. In Information behavior: An Evolutionary Instinct , pp. Furthermore, she notes that 'behaviors such as cooperation, sexual behavior, child rearing and aesthetics are [also] seen as 'evolved psychological mechanisms' with an instinctive basis.
In , William McDougall wrote about the 'instinct of curiosity' and its associated 'emotion of wonder', [14] though Spink's book does not mention this. Blumberg in examined the use of the word instinct, and found it varied significantly. Examples of behaviors that do not require conscious will include many reflexes.
The stimulus in a reflex may not require brain activity but instead may travel to the spinal cord as a message that is then transmitted back through the body, tracing a path called the reflex arc. Reflexes are similar to fixed action patterns in that most reflexes meet the criteria of a FAP.
However, a fixed action pattern can be processed in the brain as well; a male stickleback's instinctive aggression towards anything red during his mating season is such an example. Examples of instinctive behaviors in humans include many of the primitive reflexes, such as rooting and suckling, behaviors which are present in mammals. In rats, it has been observed that innate responses are related to specific chemicals, and these chemicals are detected by two organs located in the nose: the vomeronasal organ VNO and the main olfactory epithelium MOE.
Some instinctive behaviors depend on maturational processes to appear. For instance, we commonly refer to birds 'learning' to fly. However, young birds have been experimentally reared in devices that prevent them from moving their wings until they reached the age at which their cohorts were flying. These birds flew immediately and normally when released, showing that their improvement resulted from neuromuscular maturation and not true learning. Imprinting provides one example of instinct.
In some cases, imprinting attaches an offspring to its parent, which is a reproductive benefit to offspring survival. Attached offspring are also more likely to learn from a parental figure when interacting closely. Reproductive benefits are a driving force behind natural selection. Environment is an important factor in how innate behavior has evolved. A hypothesis of Michael McCollough, a positive psychologist, explains that environment plays a key role in human behaviors such as forgiveness and revenge.
This hypothesis theorizes that various social environments cause either forgiveness or revenge to prevail. McCollough relates his theory to game theory. The choice between the two can be beneficial or detrimental, depending on what the partner-organism chooses. Though this psychological example of game theory does not have such directly measurable results, it provides an interesting theory of unique thought.
From a more biological standpoint, the brain's limbic system operates as the main control-area for response to certain stimuli, including a variety of instinctual behavior. The limbic system processes external stimuli related to emotions, social activity, and motivation, which propagates a behavioral response.
Some behaviors include maternal care, aggression, defense, and social hierarchy. These behaviors are influenced by sensory input — sight, sound, touch, and smell. Within the circuitry of the limbic system, there are various places where evolution could have taken place, or could take place in the future. For example, many rodents have receptors in the vomeronasal organ that respond explicitly to predator stimuli that specifically relate to that individual species of rodent.
The reception of a predatory stimulus usually creates a response of defense or fear.
