Abstract:
From the Publisher: This collection of readings gives students exposure to a wide variety of perspectives in the field of social psychology. Each of the fifteen chapters begins with an introduction and is followed by three articles: one general (popular), one classic, and one contemporary. The articles are followed by critical thinking questions that ask students to examine different aspects of the articles, as well as to assess the implications of psychological research in their own lives. Topic integration questions conclude each chapter to further promote critical thinking. The topical organization of the collection parallels Baron/Byrne/Branscombe's Social Psychology, Twelfth Edition, and Mastering Social Psychology. However, Readings in Social Psychology can be used with any social psychology textbook or as a stand-alone reader in courses that do not use textbooks. Forty-seven percent of the articles are new to this edition, including: Detecting lies in children and adults; Pluralistic ignorance and hooking up; One woman's behavior affects the attractiveness of others; Revisiting the Stanford Prison Experiment: A lesson in the power of the situation; Guns, testosterone, and aggression: An experimental test of a mediational hypothesis.
