This topical textbook provides a thorough insight
into the discipline of social psychology, presenting
students with a rich and engaging account of
the human social experience.
Fully revised, the second edition includes a
greater emphasis on cutting-edge topics within
social psychology, including AI, virtual reality,
social media, and political polarization. The
textbook uses an accessible and readable style to
show how the field’s dizzying and highly fragmented
array of topics, models, theories, and paradigms
can best be understood through a coherent
conceptual narrative that builds on learning from
previous chapters. The text also examines recent
developments, such as how computer simulations
and big data supplement the traditional methods
of experiment and correlation. It contains a range
of features, including key term glossaries and
compact “summing up and looking ahead” overviews
for ease of reading.
Social Psychology: Exploring the Dynamics of
Human Experience covers an enormous range of
topics from self-concept to social change, making
this comprehensive textbook essential reading for
any student of social psychology.
"Extending Robin Vallacher's first edition, he and Peter Gollwitzer offer an exceptional guide to social psychology that directs and escorts the reader by laying the psychological foundations of intrapersonal experiences, on which they build the interpersonal and collective extensions necessary to understand social behavior. Based on the current literature, the book not only explains the basic and most recent findings and insights of the field; it also embeds them into a broader framework that extends the boundaries of social psychology. Last but not least, it is remarkably well-written and fun to read."
