Assumptions about Human Nature

Klappentext
Our suppositions about human nature colour everything from the way we bargain with a used-car dealer to our expectations about further conflict in the Middle East. Our assumptions about human nature underlie our reactions to specific events. Wrightsman designed this second edition of his book to enhance our understanding of many significant issues about human nature, including the relationship of attitudes to behaviour, the unidimensionality of attitudes and the influence of social movements on beliefs.

Zusammenfassung
A revised edition of this account of the development of an instrument to measure assumptions about people in general. It places the study of assumptions of human nature within the context of the ever-increasing cynicism in society and considers insights gained from other disciplines.
