  This text presents a narrative history of social psychology, attempting to give students a real feel for what being a social psychologist is all about. Revised and updated to reflect trends in the field, this edition looks at the subject of social cognition and includes an entire chapter devoted to gender. Additionally, the author's integration of theory and methodological issues throughout the text helps students focus on one fundamental question: How do social psychologists answer questions about interesting real-life social behaviour? The author also includes applied social psychology topics in all chapters that illustrate social psychological theories and principles. For example, Chapter 15 applies research on psychology and law to the recent Rodney King court case and trials.
