Social Psychology

This Social Psychology textbook, written by well-known sociologists John D. DeLamater and Jessica L. Collett, is a fully revised and highly accessible and engaging exploration of the question “what is it that makes us who we are?”With hundreds of real-world examples, figures, and photographs and grounded in the latest research, the text explores such topics as self, attitudes, social influence, emotions, interpersonal attraction and relationships, and intergroup conflict. The book also explains the methods that social psychologists use to investigate human behavior in a social context and the theoretical perspectives that ground the discipline. Each chapter is a self-contained unit for ease of use in any classroom, beginning with clearly defined learning objectives and ending with a summary of key points and critical thinking questions.
