Ce que nous faisons reflète-t- il ce que nous pensons ? Dans quelle mesure nos idées et nos comportements sont- ils reliés ? Pouvons-nous changer les opinions, attitudes et comportements d'autrui ? Les nôtres ? Autant de questions auxquelles cet ouvrage propose d'apporter des réponses. En s'appuyant sur les recherches les plus récentes en psychologie sociale, les auteurs explorent les pistes suivantes : connaître et comprendre les attitudes et les conditions de changement de nos attitudes ; connaître et comprendre les liens entre ce que nous Pensons et ce que nous faisons ; connaître et comprendre les comportements et les conditions du changement de comportement ; et enfin comprendre la résistance au changement afin de pouvoir mieux la contourner. Loin des clichés de manipulation banale, cet ouvrage met l'accent sur l'explication de ces phénomènes dont nous pouvons être témoins et acteurs.

A multidisciplinary exploration of our human inclination to herd and why our instinct to copy others can be dangerous in today's interlinked world Rioting teenagers, tumbling stock markets, and the spread of religious terrorism appear to have little in common, but all are driven by the same basic instincts: the tendency to herd, follow, and imitate others. In today's interconnected world, group choices all too often seem maladaptive. With unprecedented speed, information flashes across the globe and drives rapid shifts in group opinion. Adverse results can include speculative economic bubbles, irrational denigration of scientists and other experts, seismic political reversals, and more. Drawing on insights from across the social, behavioral, and natural sciences, Michelle Baddeley explores contexts in which behavior is driven by the herd. She analyzes the rational vs. nonrational and cognitive vs. emotional forces involved, and she investigates why herding only sometimes works out well. With new perspectives on followers, leaders, and the pros and cons of herd behavior, Baddeley shines vivid light on human behavior in the context of our ever-more-connected world.

Spiders are often underestimated as suitable behavioural models because of the general belief that due to their small brains their behaviour is innate and mostly invariable. Challenging this assumption, this fascinating book shows that rather than having a limited behavioural repertoire, spiders show surprising cognitive abilities, changing their behaviour to suit their situational needs. The team of authors unravels the considerable intra-specific as well as intra-individual variability and plasticity in different behaviours ranging from foraging and web building to communication and courtship. An introductory chapter on spider biology, systematics and evolution provides the reader with the necessary background information to understand the discussed behaviours and helps to place them into an evolutionary context. Highlighting an under-explored area of behaviour, this book will provide new ideas for behavioural researchers and students unfamiliar with spiders as well as a valuable resource for those already working in this intriguing field.
