Description:
When Elliot Aronson, Timothy Wilson, and Robin Akert started with the first edition of Social Psychology their overriding goal was simple but ambitious: capture the excitement of social psychology in a textbook. Now in its sixth edition, the authors have discovered - through many kind letters and e-mail from professors and students - that they have succeeded in making their book an enjoyable, fascinating story, not just a dry report of facts and figures. In their work they have found that social psychology comes alive for students when they understand the whole context of the field: how theories inspire research, why research is performed as it is, how further research triggers yet new avenues of study. The authors have reached students by conveying their own fascination with the research process in a down-to-earth, meaningful way, yet have done so without sacrificing a firm foundation on which to build the reader's understanding. Here, in its sixth edition, the authors present a rigorous, scientific approach to social psychology in a manner that continues to build on the text's legacy of engaging and fascinating students.

Two stars for effort - I am revising my reveiw of the book guys. My recent experience of receiving a a text book late was largely out of their hands. The United states postal service messed up!

I would hope in the future UPS would be the way to go.

The staff at the book guys were communicative and concerned. My refund was issued promptly.

Full of valuable information - This book provides a wealth of information and goes in depth into the newly formed field of Social Psychology. The only drawback was the typographical errors that it contained, which is probably why it was for sale online rather than in a bookstore.

Best Textbook I've Ever Used - Hands down, this is my favorite textbook! It did an amazing job of presenting the material. Reading the book didn't feel like school work at all.

Each chapter started with an interesting story, some of which I had heard on the news before. Then, the chapter explained the concept at hand, and concluded by explaining how the concept applied to the story. The text was very easy to understand and very interesting, with many examples. The book was filled with graphs and diagrams that enhanced the text. I can't express how much I enjoyed this text.

I thoroughly recommend taking a Social Psychology class if you can, and definitely use this text book!!
