First published in 2000. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.

""The authors, both leading social psychologists, are uncompromising in their pursuit of quality, and they are unusually effective in their communicative style. My acid test of textbook quality is trying to construct exam questions after having read a chapter. With Eliot Smith and Diane Mackie's textbook, this becomes an easy, fruitful, and enjoyable exercise. I believe that there are enough substantive questions in the pool for even the most demanding instructor..""
-Constantine Sedikides, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
""I liked the first edition a lot, and the new edition receives my highest recommendation too.. This updated version captures the most recent developments, and I am sure that students will like the book..""
-Herbert Bless, University of Trier
