Interpersonal and Intrapersonal Expectancies

Understanding expectancies – those we place on ourselves, and those we place on others – can supply vital insights into people’s health, emotions, performance, motivation, and behaviour. This volume is the first for over 20 years not only to review the phenomenon of interpersonal expectancies, but also to consider them in tandem with intrapersonal expectancies. An international team of expert contributors provide a fresh and comprehensive summary of everything we know about this field: the state of current research, how its findings can be practically applied, and what direction future investigations should take. It will be important reading for students and researchers working in related areas within social, health, educational, and clinical psychology.
