Psychology and Public Relations Today: Annotated Bibliography of Recent and Significant Psychological Research of Import To Public Relations Practitioners

By Nicholas DiFonzo and Elizabeth Toth

Underwritten by a generous grant from General Motors

This bibliography consists of recent psychological research, reviews, and theoretical works that bear upon the work of the public relations practitioner. Most items in this list have been published within the last seven years and have been culled from scholarly journals in psychology or are public relations articles that draw heavily upon psychological research (no claim to representativeness, however, is made). It is hoped that this list will promote integrated research between psychologists and public relations practitioners.
