Social Psychology

Social Psychology, Third Edition invites students to discover the relevance of social psychology in their everyday lives. Authors Thomas Heinzen, Wind Goodfriend, and new co-author Gary Lewandowski capture students' interest by weaving stories drawn from personal experience with compelling examples from daily life, all carefully placed in historical and cultural context. Social psychology is presented as an evolving conversation, with chapters building on core questions central to psychological inquiry and a methods-in-context approach that fosters scientific literacy. This new edition has been thoroughly updated with new pop culture examples, expanded neuropsychology coverage, deeper critiques of the Zimbardo and Milgram studies, and nearly 200 new citations from the latest research. It also introduces two brand-new mini-chapters and a fresh authorial voice that enhances the book’s conversational tone and accessibility.
