This thoroughly updated second edition of Social Psychology addresses pressing topics such as climate change activism, digital technology, pandemics and AI. With three new chapters on group behaviour, culture and social cognition, this edition engages in even more detail with both classic and contemporary approaches and draws on a wider range of critical perspectives. Through accessible, section-by-section critiques, a vibrant sense of relevance, debate and new possibilities are brought to the world of social psychology.

As you read this book, you will be guided by a range of chapter activities that promote deeper learning, including:

“In the news” boxes, which highlight the relevance of social psychology to today’s world
Critical review summaries, which evaluate the literature covered
Focus boxes, to highlight classic and contemporary research studies
“Try it out” boxes, which contain short activities, questions or reflection prompts
Definitions boxes, to remind you of key terms and their meanings
Review questions, to check your understanding

Recensioner i media

I welcome this new edition of Paul Dickerson’s Social Psychology. I particularly appreciate the coverage of contemporary issues and debates such as critical race theory, and the inclusion of a wide range of research from outside the Western world. The critical reviews of topics are excellent for enriching students’ understandings, and it’s great to see coverage of communication and interaction in a Social Psychology textbook. I’ll be recommending this book to my students.
