Daniel Frings: Social Psychology, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

This accessible book introduces the fundamental principles of social psychology, providing an overview of this fascinating area in a jargon-free guide. The second edition of Social Psychology: The Basics explores some of the most important questions we face to understanding ourselves as individuals and part of a society.

Discussing the theory and science behind our understanding of how people relate to others, this book explores how we understand ourselves and others, how we relate at an individual and group level, the key processes underpinning social influence and how the discipline continues to evolve to face modern challenges. Fully revised in this second edition, the book includes greater focus on the application of social psychology in the real world, and includes new sections on values, extremism, misinformation and the impact of new technologies.

Highlighting key issues, controversies and applications, including case studies, questions, and biographies of important international figures in the discipline, this is the essential introduction for undergraduate students of psychology and anyone approaching social psychology for the first time.
