Social Psychology

This accessible introductory text addresses the core knowledge domain of social psychology. It provides concise and focused coverage of the central concepts, research and debates in this key area, while developing students' higher level skills. Activities help readers build the underpinning generic critical thinking and transferable skills they need in order to become independent learners, and to meet the relevant requirements of their programme of study. It includes key chapters on understanding identities, attribution theory, attitudinal research, social influence, group processes, racism and prejudice, gender and sexuality, class and exclusions, close relationships, methodologies of social psychology and discursive psychology.
