Cognitivism, cognitive theory; Social, group or collective psychology

This book takes the reader on an exciting journey presenting the development of resource theory of social exchange originated from Uriel G. Foa and Edna B. Foa. This groundbreaking theory has inspired and generated a tremendous amount of basic and applied research in various disciplines of psychology, sociology, management, economics, marketing, and political science. This book, edited by Kjell Törnblom and Ali Kazemi, two prominent and leading scholars in this field, complements and deepens the Foas' pioneering work from 1974. Within these covers the reader will find an abbreviated version of the Foas' out-of-print original, which is increasingly referred to by current researchers, alongside new chapters on current issues, developments, and applications written by eleven scholars. The book has a simple and clear-cut message: resource theory is not an exercise in academic hair-splitting but has far-reaching societal implications in that it can provide interesting solutions to a wide range of social issues.

Reviews for Social Behavior as Resource Exchange: Explorations into the Societal Structures of the Mind

I have found this masterpiece to be a treasure of brilliant innovative ideas about an old topic: social exchange theory. The book presents important insights that add depth to this theory. * Philip Zimbardo, Professor Emeritus of Psychology, Stanford University * This book expands upon the brilliant theory of resource exchange originally developed by Uriel and Edna Foa in the 1970s. This innovative update by distinguished scholars assures that Foas' ideas will be at the core of theorizing and research on exchange dynamics and social interaction for yet another five decades. * Jonathan H. Turner, 38th University Professor, University of California * In this important new volume, Kazemi and Törnblom bring together a collection of papers from leading Social Resource Theory researchers. Building on a rich historical foundation, the authors update SRT in light of new evidence, as well as discussing new research and applications. * Russell Salvador Cropanzano, Professor of Organizational Behavior, University of Colorado *
