Overview

The eTextbook for Social Psychology makes research relevant through a storytelling approach. By presenting classic studies alongside cutting-edge research, the authors provide insights into the past, present and future of social psychology.

For the 11th Edition, authors Elliot Aronson, Timothy Wilson and Samuel Sommers are joined by new co-authors Elizabeth Page-Gould and Neil Lewis. Their important contributions illuminate pressing societal issues such as intergroup relations and racial inequity. This title includes the following key features.

  • Try It! exercises invite you to apply specific concepts to your everyday behavior.
  • What do YOU think? features prompt you to answer survey questions that illustrate important concepts.
  • 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.
  • Learning objectives at the beginning and end of each chapter guide you through the text.
  • Chapter-ending summaries wrap up the key information presented in the chapter.
  • Key terms are defined in the margins and collected in a glossary at the end of the text.

Thanks to its storytelling approach and thorough exploration of research, Social Psychology presents an accessible introduction to the key concepts of the field.
