Publisher's Synopsis
This collection of readings provides students with the maximum exposure to the various sources of information available in the field of social psychology. Each of this text's fourteen chapters begins with an introduction and contains three articles: one popular, one classic, and one contemporary. Each individual article is preceded by a brief introduction and followed by a set of "Critical Thinking Questions," which ask the student to carefully examine some part of the article presented, to speculate about generalizations and implications of the research, and in some cases, to suggest new studies based on the information in the article. Classic articles are followed by "Additional Related Readings" which invite students to examine more contemporary articles on the same topic. Organized to correspond with the sequence and coverage of Baron and Byrne's Social Psychology, Ninth Edition, this reader is also designed to work with a broad range of courses and texts.
