Social Psychology



August 2011 | 272 pages | Learning Matters
This introductory social psychology text addresses the core knowledge domains of the subject, with key chapters on understanding identities, attribution theory, attitudinal research, social influence, racism and prejudice, class and exclusions, methodologies of social psychology and discursive 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.

Keeping the Social in Social Psychology: The Importance of Context

Not essential as the level of content is in between what they need at each level - i.e. too much to buy for Level 3, but not in depth enough to see them through the core module at Level 5.
Good focused further reading (at the end of each chapter) for this level.

Excellent book. It covers all the main areas in social psychology clearly and concisely. Excellent to see social representations theory and discursive psychology explained so well.
