"Finally a textbook of social psychology that does justice to the different strands of contemporary work. It is very clearly written with an engaging style that brilliantly overviews a range of sometimes difficult ideas . . . sophisticated, scholarly and bang up to date.” Professor Jonathan Potter, Loughborough University
“Exceptional in every respect. It explores the key topics at the heart of the discipline and conveys a clear sense of how they may be conceptualised and investigated from different standpoints and perspectives. The text brings to life the diversity and controversy in contemporary theory and research.” Dr Nicholas Hopkins, University of Dundee
Why do people participate in unbelievable acts of human genocide and yet also show incredible kindness regardless of the cost to themselves? Why are people both obedient and disobedient even risking their own lives in the process?
What does social psychology have to say about these issues? Moreover, should we simply learn what social psychologists have said in an uncritical way or should we question the research findings that we encounter?
Social Psychology: Traditional and Critical Perspectives addresses the key issues in social psychology – such as prejudice, aggression, conformity, persuasion, attraction, relationships and prosocial behaviour – in a bold and innovative way. In addition to providing detailed coverage of classic and contemporary ‘mainstream’ research, this book engages with ‘critical’ literature – bringing to the textbook just the sort of debates that can be found in social psychology conferences, journals and specialist texts.
