Social Psychology introduces the key concepts of the field through a storytelling approach that makes research relevant. Drawing upon their extensive experience as researchers and teachers, the authors present classic studies alongside the cutting-edge research that is the future of social psychology.

The 11th Edition includes engaging contributions from new co-authors Elizabeth Page-Gould and Neil Lewis Jr. who bring their expertise to bear on pressing societal issues such as intergroup relations and racial inequity. Fresh content throughout the text focuses a social psychological lens on key contemporary developments, including the COVID-19 pandemic and political upheaval in the United States.
