Author Description

"The third edition of this popular text has been thoroughly updated, revised and reconfigured throughout. In addition, there are two entirely new chapters on self and identity, and on culture. This is an integrated and comprehensive introductory text that consolidates European and North American perspectives to provide a coverage of social psychology that meets the needs of European psychology students. To help achieve this goal, the authors are assisted by an advisory editorial board of fifteen leading scholars from across Europe. Topics that have been given strong coverage include language and communication, group processes and integroup relations, prejudice and discrimination, culture, social cognition, self and identity, social representations, and the historical context and background of social psychology."
