About the Book
The fourth edition of this highly successful introduction to social psychology – published in association with the British Psychological Society, and the first to be translated into seven languages – has been completely revised and updated.
While maintaining its European heritage and comprehensive coverage of the area, all chapters have been totally rewritten to produce:
- Improved accessibility for students, including better illustrations, greater use of colour and a wider, more approachable format
- Fully integrated, cohesive and uniform chapters, ensured by a rigorous editorial process
- Improved consistency and a more concise writing style, structure and coverage
- An even fuller European treatment of the discipline, with contributions written by eminent social psychologists from across the continent, each a leading expert on the topics covered in a given chapter
- A host of useful, state-of-the-art pedagogical features that catch the imagination, including research close-ups, everyday psychology boxes and ‘pioneer’ sections giving brief biographies of key figures in the field
- A full range of instructor and student support
Combining its traditional academic rigour with a contemporary level of cohesion, accessibility, pedagogy and instructor support, the fourth edition of Introduction to Social Psychology provides the definitive European treatment of social psychology.
