Personality and Social Change: Attitude Formation in a Student Community by Theodore Mead Newcomb is a classic book that explores the relationship between personality and social change. The book is based on a study conducted by Newcomb in the 1940s, where he examined the attitudes and behaviors of a group of students at Bennington College in Vermont. Newcomb's research focused on how individuals form attitudes and how those attitudes are influenced by social factors such as peer groups and social norms. He found that personality traits, such as openness to experience and extraversion, were related to attitude formation and change. The book is divided into three parts. The first part introduces the study and provides a theoretical framework for understanding attitude formation. The second part presents the results of the study, including an analysis of the social and psychological factors that influenced the students' attitudes. The third part discusses the implications of the study for social change and offers suggestions for future research. Overall, Personality and Social Change is a seminal work in the field of social psychology and has had a significant impact on our understanding of how attitudes are formed and how they can be changed. It is a must-read for anyone interested in social psychology, personality, and the dynamics of social change.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
