Essential Social Psychology Bewertungen

Having endorsed this text book previously, and used it for the last three years, I still get asked by students if it's still one of those books I wish I had written. This updated edition still manages to convey complicated information to students in a clear and easy to comprehend manner - so yes, it's still one of those books I wish I'd written. -- Gareth Hall

This highly accessible and very readable text offers an applied and critical focus to some of the essential social psychological theories and research making it a must for anyone interested in finding out more about social psychology.

-- Lucy Betts

In their newest edition of Essential Social Psychology, Crisp and Turner present the classic research in Social Psychology and show its relevance to current, real world events. This clear and easy to read integration of the past and the present makes Essential Social Psychology the perfect textbook for both students and teachers alike. I expect that my students will give me the same feedback on the newest edition as they have for past editions: 'Finally a psychology text that doesn't cure insomnia!'

-- Debra F. Glaser, PhD, ABPP
