Social Psychology

Wind Goodfriend is the winner of SPSP's 2023 Undergraduate Teaching and Mentoring Award

This award-winning text invites students to discover social psychology’s relevance to their lives. Authors Thomas Heinzen and Wind Goodfriend capture student interest by weaving stories drawn from their own personal experiences with compelling examples from everyday life, all carefully placed in historical context. Social psychology is presented as an evolving, science-driven conversation; chapters build on core questions central to scientific inquiry, while a methods-in-context approach cultivates psychological literacy. The Second Edition has been thoroughly updated with new pop culture examples, additional diversity coverage, recent controversies related to the Zimbardo and Milgram studies, and over a hundred new citations from the latest research.
