A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Based on the bestselling text, Social Psychology, 10th Edition, Exploring Social Psychology, 6th Edition succinctly explores social psychological science and its applications to contemporary issues and everyday life. Thirty-one short modules—each readable in a single sitting—introduce students to important social phenomena and to how scientists discover and explain such phenomena.

Throughout, students are challenged to think critically about such issues as:
• How does our thinking – both conscious and unconscious – drive our behavior?
• What leads people sometimes to hurt and sometimes to help one another?
• What kindles social conflict, and how can we transform closed fists into helping hands?
Answering these and other questions, Exploring Social Psychology, 6th Edition expands our self-understanding and sensitizes us to the social forces that pull our strings.
