Social Neuroscience: Integrating Biological and Psychological Explanations of Social Behavior de Eddie Harmon-Jones

Social Neuroscience: Integrating Biological and Psychological Explanations of Social Behavior

Editat de Eddie Harmon-Jones, Piotr Winkielman
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 8 mar 2007

Analiza interacțiunilor dintre emoție și cogniția socială, facilitată de perspectivele oferite de studiul cortexului orbitofrontal, constituie punctul central al acestui volum riguros. Social Neuroscience propune o integrare necesară între explicațiile biologice și cele psihologice, oferind un cadru structurat pentru înțelegerea modului în care sistemele noastre neurale guvernează comportamentul în societate. Remarcăm organizarea tematică precisă a lucrării, care trece de la o introducere conceptuală spre secțiuni tehnice despre procesele emoționale și motivaționale, culminând cu analize despre stresul social și circuitele de recompensă.

Suntem de părere că forța acestui volum rezidă în capacitatea de a reuni cercetări de ultimă oră despre fenomene precum stereotipizarea și prejudecățile, transformând concepte abstracte în date observabile prin neuroimagistică. Cititorii familiarizați cu The Student's Guide to Social Neuroscience de Jamie Ward vor aprecia în acest volum profunzimea detaliilor tehnice și accentul pus pe programele de cercetare specifice, dincolo de formatul clasic de manual. Spre deosebire de lucrările introductive, volumul editat de Eddie Harmon-Jones și Piotr Winkielman se adresează profesioniștilor care caută să înțeleagă mecanismele fiziologice fine, precum activitatea corticală frontală asimetrică în raport cu motivația.

Structura editorială reflectă o progresie logică: de la recunoașterea emoțiilor la controlul cognitiv al sentimentelor. Apreciem în mod deosebit capitolul dedicat testului de stres social Trier, care oferă o perspectivă aplicată asupra modului în care mediul influențează biologia umană. Cartea reușește să sintetizeze un deceniu de progrese, devenind o resursă esențială pentru cercetătorii care doresc să depășească barierele disciplinare dintre psihologia socială și neuroștiințe.

De ce să citești această carte

Această lucrare este esențială pentru psihologi, neurocercetători și studenți avansați care doresc să înțeleagă bazele biologice ale interacțiunii umane. Veți câștiga o perspectivă integrată asupra modului în care creierul procesează informația socială, de la mecanismele empatiei până la circuitele neurale ale prejudecății. Este un instrument teoretic solid care explică nu doar „cum” ne comportăm, ci și „de ce” biologia noastră dictează dinamica socială.

Despre autor

Eddie Harmon-Jones, PhD, este conferențiar de psihologie la Texas A&M University, fiind un specialist recunoscut în studiul circuitelor neurale ale emoțiilor și motivațiilor. Activitatea sa de cercetare este susținută de instituții prestigioase precum National Institute of Mental Health. În contextul operei sale, acest volum continuă preocupările explorate în Cognitive Dissonance, unde a analizat evoluția teoriilor psihologice clasice, și în Motivation and Its Regulation, extinzând analiza de la procese pur cognitive spre substratul lor biologic complex.

Descriere scurtă

This compelling volume provides a broad and accessible overview of the emerging field of social neuroscience. Showcasing an array of cutting-edge research programs, leading investigators present new approaches to the study of how the brain influences social behavior, and vice versa. The contributors discuss the theoretical advantages of taking a social neuroscience perspective and analyze what their findings reveal about core social psychological phenomena. Essential topics include emotion, motivation, attitudes, person perception, stereotyping and prejudice, and interpersonal relationships.

Recenzii

The past decade has witnessed great progress in identifying the physiological and neural mechanisms underlying social behavior. This volume brings together many of the leaders of the nascent field of social neuroscience to describe their groundbreaking work in this area. The editors have done a superb job of assembling a broad and representative slate of state-of-the-art chapters. This volume will be valuable for the increasing number of advanced undergraduate and graduate courses focusing on the neurobiology of social behavior, as well as for social and personality psychologists seeking an excellent introduction to the area. Highly recommended.--Todd F. Heatherton, PhD, Champion International Professor, Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, Dartmouth College
For students unfamiliar with the field, Social Neuroscience provides an accessible overview of the major topics of study and makes a strong case for the need for more research on the physiological and neurological bases of social behavior. In the classroom, this book would be beneficial to advanced undergraduates or graduate students interested in either social psychology or cognitive/behavioral neuroscience.--Sarah Wood, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of Wisconsin-Stout
James Watson once said, 'there are only molecules; everything else is sociology.' His tongue-in-cheek arrogance reminds us of the great gulf that once separated the 'two cultures' of humanities and science. In the last decade this gap is successfully being bridged by social neuroscience. This fine edited volume presents a readable, comprehensive overview of this exciting new field.--V. S. Ramachandran, MD, PhD, Center for Brain and Cognition, University of California, San Diego
Human beings are intensely social animals, yet intensive study of the biological basis of human social behavior began only quite recently. Brain imaging was the spur to this acceleration of social neuroscience research, but brain imaging alone can never reveal the neural mechanisms underlying human social interactions. Recognizing this shortcoming, Harmon-Jones and Winkielman include a whole range of additional and complementary methodologies in this book, from lesions to hormone analysis. This is an excellent introduction to cutting-edge research in what is undoubtedly going to be the dominant theme in 21st-century neuroscience.--Chris Frith, FRS, Institute of Neurology, University College London, UK
More than a half-century ago, social psychology opened a New Look in perception. Social phenomena occurring below awareness became prime subjects of controversial discourse. Social Neuroscience now demonstrates that, in many cases, what we thought were no more than conjectures have become promising lines of discovery. It organizes in a clear, instructive manner most of what we now know about neural processes underlying significant aspects of social behavior.--Robert Zajonc, PhD, Department of Psychology, Stanford University
Not long ago, social motivation was a matter of others sharing some of their food, warmth, and some sex. Now, with the affect revolution, social motivation has become a cauldron of basic emotional systems and cognitive abilities and desires. This volume summarizes a host of exciting developments in this rapidly emerging field. It brings us up to date with exciting research programs that are illuminating the multidimensional social-affective nature of our existence. We finally have a secure intellectual base from which to launch the next generation of inquiries that will allow us to blend human and animal research into an enlightened and unified understanding of how social brains and social mind make us the kinds of creatures that we are.--Jaak Panksepp, PhD, Department of Veterinary and Comparative Anatomy, Pharmacology, and Physiology, Washington State University
