(10/25/08) Product Description In his latest book Michael Argyle gives a detailed account of class differences in relationships, sex, work, leisure, religion and a host of other fascinating areas to provide the first account from a psychological perspective. Synopsis The Psychology of Class gives a comprehensive account of psychological and other research into social class using data from Britain, the USA and elsewhere. By addressing differences in social class, he broadens the perspective of social psychological research. He uses sociological research, but fills important gaps, such as the effect of achievement motivation and other personality variables on social mobility. He also provides explanations for sociological findings such as the effect of social class on health. The Psychology of Social Class describes the class system in Britain, compares it with others in the modern world and looks at the historical development of class and attempts to abolish it. Psychological models of class are...See less

(06/23/08) 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: By A Customer This is a fantstic book on two levels that will have you wiping the tears from your eyes as you read it. I advise you not to read it on an airplane because your laughter will have the crew calling the police at your arrival point to pick you up for disturbing the peace. On one level the book is the funniest critique of the development business ever written. It reminds us of Lord Bauer's famous dictum that the purpose of foreign aid is to take the taxes of the poor people in rich countries to give to the rich in poor countries. Of course, international bureacrats such as L.B. Bogarde take their cut in their inflated, untaxed salaries, flying first class all the way. LB never took this seriously and enjoyed himself with a cynical detachment as he cruises the world visiting the bars and brothels along the way. His stories are legend. Two stand out: the girl with the wooden leg he meets in Addis Abbaba and the girl who is...See less

(06/23/08) I was completely confused about what I was doing in a sociology class until I discovered this book. It is readable and doesn't overload you with information. Gives clear balanced arguments and reasoned opinions. Is not daunting in it's size in the same way as some other introductory sociology texts. Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
