| Summary |
"In Temporal Matters in Social Psychology, Joseph E. McGrath and Franziska Tschan explore and ponder the many ways in which temporal matters affect how individuals, groups, and larger collectives behave. The chapter authors examine how people conceptualize time and live within prescribed and personal timeframes and how time is measured and enters into social psychological phenomena at multiple levels, in different functional roles, and as different types of processes. Readers will gain from this engaging volume an understanding of temporal processes and will be inspired to make time part of future theories and scientific endeavors."--BOOK JACKET |
