Obstacles to Ethical
Decision-Making
Mental Models, Milgram and the
Problem of Obedience
Patricia H. Werhane
DePaul University, Chicago
Laura Pincus Hartman

Crina Archer
Elaine E. Englehardt
Utah Valley State College
and Michael S. Pritchard
Western Michigan University
Obedience to an authority is often found
to adversely affect individuals’ abilities
to make ethical decisions in business. In
this work, the authors analyse this claim,
and suggest how a development of the
‘moral imagination’ enables decisionmakers
to be aware of, and mitigate, the
influence of power – and obedience –
relationships.
Advance praise:
‘The authors do a wonderful job of
connecting the problem of obedience
to the merging field of behavioral
ethics. Their articulation highlights
how common aspects about how
humans make decisions lead us to
be obedient when a more reflective
analysis dictates action. Managers and
scholars will be prompted to more
courageous acts of disobedience after
reading this book.’

The Measurement
of Affect, Mood,
and Emotion
A Guide for Health-Behavioral
Research
Panteleimon Ekkekakis
Iowa State University
Foreword by James A. Russell
Boston College, Massachusetts
Affect, mood and emotion are focal
points of the booming research field
investigating the mechanisms behind
health behaviours such as diet, smoking
and physical activity. Panteleimon
Ekkekakis proposes a sound system for
selecting measures for these constructs
in an accessible guidebook of particular
interest to academic researchers and
postgraduate students.
Advance praise:
‘… a powerful plea for a qualitative
shift in the way research is conducted.
It is a wise, thoughtful, and much
needed guidebook for the transition
from a prescientific to a scientific
paradigm. If researchers read this
book, they will be convinced, they
will change their behavior, and their
research will advance. I’m often asked
to recommend a measure for emotion
or mood, and I never have a simple
answer. Now I do: read Ekkekakis.’

Justice and
Self-Interest
Two Fundamental Motives
Melvin J. Lerner
University of Waterloo, Ontario
and Susan Clayton
College of Wooster, Ohio
This 2011 volume argues that the
commitment to justice is a fundamental
motive and that, although it is typically
portrayed as serving self-interest, it
sometimes takes priority over selfinterest.
The authors present a model
that describes the ways in which motives
of justice and self-interest are integrated
in people’s lives.

The Reflexive
Imperative in
Late Modernity
Margaret S. Archer
École Polytechnique Fédérale, Lausanne
What do young people want from life
Using analysis of family experiences and
life histories, Margaret Archer concludes
her investigation of the role of the

The Politics of Crowds
An Alternative History of
Sociology
Christian Borch
Copenhagen Business School
Modern society was born as a society
of crowds. This book analyses how
the phenomenon of crowds became a
concern to sociologists in the nineteenth
century and how the understanding
of crowds has evolved since then. The
result is a fresh perspective on society
and modern sociology.
‘There are over seven billion people
on the planet, many of them crammed
into cities. The result is that a politics
of crowds is not a curio. It is a pivotal
means of understanding how we
are moved by the world. Christian
