The devaluation of those perceived as "different" has profound repercussions both for individuals and for society. This book brings together leading researchers to present groundbreaking findings on such topics as the dimensions of stigma, why people stigmatize others, how targeted individuals are affected by and respond to stigmatization, and influences on social interactions. Chapters are organized around a cohesive conceptual framework that incorporates the perspectives of both the perceiver and the target; the relevance of personal and collective identities; and the interplay of affective, cognitive, and behavioral reactions in stigmatization.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"This volume provides a readable, up-to-date review of theory and research by current leaders in the field. Each chapter not only provides an excellent overview of stigma research, but also offers innumerable insights and ideas on the causes and consequences of stigmatization. This volume undoubtedly will stimulate a great deal of future work on this important topic. It should be required reading for researchers and students interested in stigma, as well as for related graduate courses." --Mark R. Leary, PhD, Wake Forest University
"This provocative, thoughtful volume offers theoretical, empirical, and practical insights into the predicaments of stigma: how to balance perceiver and target perspectives; individual and group identities; and the full range of cognitive, affective, and behavioral responses. Experts and students alike will come away enlightened by this readable and engrossing contribution from some of social psychology's best minds." --Susan T. Fiske, PhD, Department of Psychology, Princeton University
"This book provides state-of-the-art treatment of a topic that, over the past decade, has moved from backstage to center stage in social psychology. Contributions are original, revealing, and show the great depth of thinking and research underlying the emergence of work in this area. No future contribution in the field will be complete without reference to this work." --Claude Steele, PhD., Department of Psychology, Stanford University

stigma theory,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Social Psychology of Stigma (Paperback)
This is a thought-provoking book. It goes beyond simply restating classic stigma theory. I used it for my dissertation and that should tell you something important about it.
