This second edition maintains its predecessor's emphasis on principles and issues (rather than detailed coverage of specific studies) but is otherwise unrestrained in its incorporation of dynamic changes in the field: 27 of the 41 topics are new as are 71 of the 81 contributors, and the cognitive approach takes center stage with 12 articles (more than any other theme). Other contributions are in sections on the biological, personal motivational, interpersonal, and group and cultural systems. A final section addresses applications with regard to law, health behavior, clinical psychology, consumer behavior and marketing, politics, organizational behavior, and social action.
