This is an excellent, well written book on social psychology. It provides very comprehensive, up to date and contrasting concepts and ideas focusing on social psychology. It is in-depth and draws from emerging international research to position social psychology within global perspectives.
This book is particularly useful because it provides perspectives from a variety of cultures. This will enable students to question social understanding that they have taken for granted and address the subject from a critical stand-point.
An excellent book that provides a good insight into social psychology
The book is well written. The focus of the book does 100% fit to my course but will recommand to students.
I felt that the social psychology text book that I currently recommend for my lectures was more appropriate.
Another book which will be on the essential reading list for many of the level 4 modules of the new Psychology degree. Very modern and up to date. Clear sections and the topics span a wide area. The author does their best to explain things for this audience and it works.
good back up book - not enough detail for essential book though not sure about accompanying resources as have not tried them - no access
A useful, all round introduction to social psychology.
In our opinion, the book is too difficult to read and inaccesible to 100-level students. The book lacks a clear overview.
While it covers all topics within social psychology it does so purely from the mainstream cognitive position. Including global perspectives as part of the title seems inaccurate.
A highly accessible textbook, recommended reading.
Current book in use is good
I do like its global perspective - too many books are US focused. So far, recommended. When the focus of my current course changes, may well become essential
excellent overview of main topics re/Social Psychology, perhaps a bit too much text
I found this book interesting and informative. I found the Learning objectives at the start of each chapter very useful along with the highlighted key points. What I believe my students would find particularly useful are the web sites listed for further information.
Essential reading for General Medicine students, 1st year, for the following courses: - Behavioral sciences - Medical sociology - Basis of communication - Medical Psychology
A great book as an introduction to social psychology. Will be recommending it to my students.
