journal contribution
posted on 2012-03-26, 09:11 authored by Jonathan PotterThis chapter reviews the major theoretical and methodological features of discursive
social psychology and illustrates the scope and nature of this approach
through showing the way it can respecify the social psychology of attitudes. It
reviews discourse research on attitude variability; it describes conversation
analytic studies on the way evaluations are managed in interaction and shows
how our understanding of political oratory can be improved; it discusses the way
evaluations are bound up with broader, culturally-defined systems of discourse;
it discusses the relation between assessments and factual accounts; and finally it
shows how a discursive approach can rework notions of function, consistency,
vested interest and emotion.
