The narratives absorb students as they absorb knowledge about the field. As they are drawn into the stories, students learn about social perception and social inference, the self, and persuasion and attitude change. They discover how compliance, conformity, and obedience affect behavior, and investigate group processes, interpersonal attraction, and intimate relationships.
The latter sections of the text address some of the darker aspects of social psychology through a review of the literature on—and stories about—prejudice, discrimination, aggression, and violence. The final chapter is devoted to the social psychology of genocide and terrorism.
Each chapter also elaborates on the applications of social psychology to health and law, explores the dark and bright side of social psychology, and provides students with opportunities to think like a social psychologist.
Social Psychology is a high-interest, engaging text for both beginning and advanced level survey courses in social psychology.
