| Popis: |
The aim of the first chapter is to establish a rationale for the book and ‘set the scene’ for the chapters that follow. The chapter demonstrates that social class is a complex, situated and multifaceted phenomenon. The chapter addresses a number of key questions such as how do we determine someone’s social class? How has the nature of and understandings of social class changed over time? And what relevance does social class have to psychology as a discipline? Addressing the latter is important, especially since social class has often been regarded as the province of other disciplines such as sociology, politics and history. The chapter demonstrates the relevance of social class for psychology by examining a number of psychological ‘dimensions’ to this. |
