Description
This vital and timely new text provides a compelling examination of the science behind how beliefs are formed and the opinions of others are evaluated, and why beliefs are often resistant to change in the face of contrary evidence. Drawing on theories and empirical evidence from cognitive, developmental, and social psychology, Nancy Kim provides an overview of the field and its implications for a wide range of beliefs—from moral, political, religious, and superstitious beliefs to beliefs about ourselves. And Our Own Potential The fascinating studies discussed demonstrate how many psychological factors play a role in belief, including memory, reasoning, judgment, emotion, personality, social cognition, and cognitive development. With thought-provoking questions and a wide range of cross-cultural case studies, this is an ideal overview for psychology students and all readers interested in the psychology of belief.
