Biography
Joanne V. Wood, University of Waterloo, Canada.
Abraham Tesser, Institute for Behavioral Research, University of Georgia.
John G. Holmes, University of Waterloo, Canada.
'Wood, Tesser, and Holmes have done a great job. The writing is clear throughout. The style and level of discourse is consistent. A great deal of theory and empirical work is reviewed and new insights also appear, often in welcome sections devoted to integration where theorists place their own views within the larger context of others’ theories and research. The book will be easy to use as a teaching tool. It is theory driven and, as such, provides readers with the structure that they will need to recall the many empirical findings that are reviewed. In addition, many authors provide wonderful role models of how to step back from one’s own perspectives and findings and place them in a larger context.' - Margaret S. Clark, Yale Universit, USA
