Biography

Weiner, Bernard

"...readers who have done work in or related to attribution theory will greatly appreciate the author's mix of insight, wry observation, and research tenacity....this book is a worthy capstone to a distinguished academic career....Weiner claims that 'this is certainly my final book product....'Social and personality psychologists will agree...that his scholarly creativity will continue--may another book be forthcoming."
—PsycCRITIQUES

"... this book is about Weiner's thinking and research and is of interest to a number of readers...It...includes novel ideas..."

—Nancy Eisenberg, Ph.D.
Department of Psychology, Arizona State University

"In his highly readable style, Weiner communicates the theoretical conceptualization, along with the results of dozens of studies, and applies them to moral emotions...This book further develops Weiner's rationalist approach to emotions and social judgment...[he] specifically shows how culture, personality, and political ideology play a role in his theory. It works."
