"This is a revolutionary book. Rokeach seriously questions the vast research on attitudes and attitude change as well as some of the well-known theories in this area. And—perhaps more crucially—he documents the need to replace the delimited concern for attitudes with a systematic and organized theory about values. Rokeach provides theoretical and reach substance and meaning to the previously scattered thought about beliefs, attitudes, and values. In doing so, he opens new avenues of understanding about man's values, and he documents the necessary new directions in research. "Belief, Attitudes, and Values represents and elaboration of my continuing interest in the nature of belief systems. The title reflects my view that an understanding of man's beliefs, attitudes, and values will not come unless we are willing to distinguish these concepts from one another and to employ them in distinctively different ways. The subtitle conveys my view that beliefs, attitudes, and values are nonetheless interrelated and form a functionally integrative cognitive system. "With the framework of a person-centered theory of belief systems, I present a systematic way of thinking about the problems that gave not been satisfactory handles in social psychology. there is little consensus about exactly what we mean when we speak of belief, and an attitude, a value, a value system...We are a long way from understanding the theoretical relationship between attitudes and behavior, between attitude change and behavioral change, and we have not yet learned how to predict accurately one from the other. "The majority of experimental findings on attitude change have little to do with attitude change, since the findings can be more simply accounted for on other grounds. The literature on attitude change does not seem to serve the interests of the educator and therapist nearly so much as it serves the interest of specialized persuaders in advertising, the mass media, politics, and public relations."-Publisher.
Humans are surrounded by trillions of stimuli. Their eyes, for instance, can discriminate 7,500,000 colors. But, there is a severe limitation in the number of discriminably different stimuli that they can process at one time. George Miller argued that they can handle no more than seven, plus or minus two independent pieces of information at any given time. Thus, necessarily they must develop ways to simplify the task of processing the information that exists in their environment. They do this in many ways. One way is to select the stimuli that are most imp- tant in their lives, what are often called values. Another way is to chunk stimuli by linking them to each other, so they form bundles of stimuli that can be processed as if they are one entity. Generalized expectancies of what is linked with what are beliefs, and these beliefs are structured into bundles (see Triandis, 1972).

Social psychologists have studied beliefs and values, and related constructs such as "attitudes" and "prejudice" for decades. But as this innovative and interdisciplinary book convincingly demonstrates, the scientific examination of beliefs and values now influences research and practice across a range of disciplines. Specifically, this edited volume explores the many cutting edge implications and applications of Equilintegration or EI Theory and the Beliefs, Events, and Values Inventory (BEVI). Grounded in twenty years of research and practice, EI Theory seeks to explain the processes by which beliefs, values, and worldviews are acquired and maintained, why their alteration is resisted, and under what circumstances they are modified. Based upon EI Theory, the BEVI is a comprehensive analytic tool which examines how and why we come to see ourselves, others, and the larger world as we do as well as the influence of such processes on multiple aspects of human functioning. Edited by the developer of the EI model and BEVI method, and informed by contributions from leading U.S. and international scholars, this book features captivating research findings and pioneering practice applications. Research-focused chapters explain how the EI model and BEVI method increase our conceptual sophistication and methodological capacity across a range of areas: Culture, Development, Environment, Gender, Personality, Politics, and Religion. Practice-oriented chapters demonstrate how the BEVI is used in the real world across a range of applied domains: Assessment, Education, Forensics, Leadership, and Psychotherapy. Written in an accessible and engaging manner, this fascinating and timely volume speaks to many of the most pressing issues of our day, by illuminating why we believe what we believe, and demonstrating how our beliefs and values may be assessed, explained, and transformed in the real world. Key Features: Presents an interdisciplinary theoretical model and innovative assessment method derived from two decades of work on the etiology, maintenance, and transformation of beliefs and values Features contributions from leading scholars from the U.S. and internationally, demonstrating the many implications and applications of this cutting edge approach for research and practice Demonstrates the importance of "making sense of beliefs and values" in addressing many of the most pressing issues of our day
