Rezensionen

Advance praise: 'This is a unique textbook applying theories in social psychology to real-life social contexts. The applications are explained well in relation to why theories are important to use when addressing social problems and how applications can contribute to further developing our theoretical understanding in social psychology. The combination of theories and practice makes it the perfect book for students in undergraduate and graduate programs interested in understanding and managing social problems.'
