Social Psychology, 3rd Edition
Social Psychology, 3rd Edition provides the only conceptually integrated undergraduate introduction to social psychology, offering a clear synthesis of the cognitive and social, and individual and group influences that shape social behavior.
All major topics in social psychology are covered and emerging hot topics have been introduced. The focus on underlying, unifying principles that operate across topics, rather than treating each topic in isolation, reflects the increasingly cross-disciplinary developments within and beyond psychology. The inclusion of research carried out in different parts of the world and a sensitivity to cross-cultural perspectives highlights the internationalization of the field in recent years. In addition, there are real-world applications of the scientific principles to areas such as marketing, law, education, and health. Throughout, there is a strong focus on methodology and deeper explanation of impact norms than the simplistic coverage of its competitors.
Instructors welcome Smith and Mackie's unusually broad perspective, coupled with its fresh and interesting use of unifying principles. Meanwhile, students appreciate the authors' lively, accessible writing style and use of compelling examples with immediate relevance to their lives.
Integrating extensive feedback from reviews of the second edition ensures that this third edition is comprehensive, contemporary, and relevant to social psychology students' and instructors' needs. Pedagogical features have been refined and include chapter summaries, margin glossaries, tables, graphs, and photographs.
With an attractive student-friendly format and a narrative that is both lively and rigorous by two leading US scholars, this textbook is among the most respected and acclaimed on the market.
This new edition is supported by an extensive online Social Psychology Student Learning Program (SocSLP) and CD-ROM based Instructor Resources, both of which are free of charge to qualifying adopters.
