Book Description
Majority and minority influence research examines how groups influence the attitudes, thoughts and behaviours of individuals, groups and society as a whole. This volume collects recent work by an international group of scholars, representing a variety of different theoretical approaches to majority and minority influence. The book provides a thorough evaluation of significant current developments with a particular focus on how active minorities can influence people’s thinking and behaviour, fight against conformity and contribute to real social change. It also discusses the following themes: Social vs. cognitive processes of social influence: cooperation vs. antagonism Majority and minority influence: a singular or a dual socio-psychological process? Conversion vs appropriation of minority ideas Different meta-theoretical considerations underlying social influence research New avenues for future research are presented and many are born from a new integration between influence and persuasion theoretical traditions. By focusing on the societal dimension of social influence this book contributes to filling a theoretical and epistemological gap in the relative literature. It offers a balanced and thorough presentation of the distinct theoretical and epistemological approaches employed by active and important researchers in the field making it essential reading for researchers and upper-level students of social psychology.

Book Description
"Does the World exist?" There would be no reason to resurrect this question of modernity from its historical oblivion were it not for the fact that recent evolution in science and technology, impregnating culture, makes us wonder about the nature of reality, of the world we are living in, and of our status as living beings within it. Thus great metaphysical subjacent queries are forcefully revived, calling for new investigations to proceed in the light of the innumerable novel insights of science. This collection presents a wealth of material toward an elaboration of a new metaphysical groundwork of the ontopoiesis/ phenomenology of life sought to effect such investigations. The classic postulates of the metaphysics of reality, those of necessity and certainty here find a new formulation. Away from sclerotized ontological and cognitive assumptions and congenial with the views of contemporary science, the understanding of reality, of our world of life, and of ourselves within it is to be sought in the existential/ontopoietic ciphering of life (Tymieniecka).

Book Description
Les questions de l'apprentissage, de la compétition entre pairs, des menaces liées à l'échec ou de la valorisation issue de la réussite, au coeur de l'ouvrage, sont éminemment pertinentes dans le cadre de l'enseignement scolaire et universitaire, de la formation ou de la performance dans les organisations, qui sont considérés sous un angle psychosocial. L'ouvrage s'organise en 5 chapitres : le premier développe les fondements philosophiques et scientifiques qui rendent légitime une approche de l'acquisition de la connaissance et de la performance par l'influence sociale. Le second décrit les motivations inhérentes à cette acquisition ou à la performance. Le troisième examine les éléments relatifs à la comparaison sociale qui y interviennent. Le quatrième développe une articulation des processus de comparaison et des motivations en termes de régulations relationnelles et sociocognitives. Enfin, le dernier chapitre détaille la théorie de la connaissance qui articule l'ensemble et permet de distinguer toute une variété de dynamiques d'influence sociale.

Book Description
Ce livre propose une approche théorique originale de la connaissance et des processus d’apprentissage, et étudie comment ceux-ci peuvent être modulés par les dynamiques de comparaison interpersonnelle, le sentiment de compétence, la valorisation de soi et d’autres motivations. Il puise sa spécificité dans l’articulation de divers domaines jusqu’ici séparés : performance et connaissance, relations interpersonnelles, comparaison sociale et explications de sens commun. Il présente une théorie des relations d’influence qui s’instaurent entre individus dans des situations mettant en jeu leurs connaissances et leur sentiment subjectif de compétence. Les questions de l’apprentissage, de la compétition entre pairs, des menaces liées à l’échec ou de la valorisation issue de la réussite sont au coeur de l’ouvrage. Celui-ci apporte un éclairage particulièrement pertinent dans le cadre de l’enseignement scolaire et universitaire, de la formation et de la performance dans les organisations.
