01-16-2013 This is the official publication of the Society for Personality and Social Psychology. The bulletin provides an international forum for research in all areas of personality and social psychology. Articles reflect many schools of thought and new developments in the field. Based primarily on empirical research, papers on a variety of topics appear, including communication, gender and age stereotypes, interpersonal relationships, group psychology, prejudice, and self-consciousness. Special theme issues are periodically published. Themes have included motivational determinants of self-evaluation; autobiographical narratives; publication trends in the field; meta-analysis in personality and social psychology; and principles of psychology. Recent issues have addressed: how shared preferences in music create bonds between people; how highly agreeable people judge positive and negative relational acts; the roles of extraversion and supportiveness in online chatting and emotional adjustment; positive and negative effects of attractiveness on social decision-making; stereotype threat undermines academic learning; humor in romantic contexts;b1do men participate and women evaluate?; the effects of self-criticism and self-oriented perfectionism on goal pursuit; and how social inclusion facilitates risky mating behavior in men. Libraries that support behavioral and social sciences, education, and industrial psychology will want to have this title. (Woolums, Jill)
