NEW AND KEY FEATURES OF SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY, SECOND EDITION

  • Assignable and interactive self-assessments (available with SAGE Vantage) help students experience social psychology in a deeper, more memorable way that reinforces learning.
  • Updated pop culture features include references to newer movies and TV shows, such as Crazy Rich Asians, Mulan, The Handmaid’s Tale, and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.
  • Updated language and examples reflect more sensitivity to diversity and gender identity; for example, “they” is used when discussing a fictional or theoretical person.
  • Substantial content on the importance of open science now appears in chapter 2 on research methods.
  • Two new mini-chapters on careers and pets provide important perspectives on aspects of social life that students can relate to and enjoy.
  • More research has been added on cultural differences and on advances from neuropsychology throughout the book.
  • A storytelling approach rooted in real-world connections invites readers into the social psychology narrative through pop culture, helping students to learn history and theory conceptually as they read.
  • Research methods are integrated into each chapter in the context of actual studies, in addition to having a complete standalone chapter.
  • Critical Thinking Challenges encourage class discussion and prompt students to relate to and reflect on material within the main narrative.
  • The Main Ideas sections provide succinct summaries to ensure students retain key concepts as they read.
  • Social Psychology in Popular Culture boxes illustrate pop culture examples that connect concepts to the media readers consume every day, allowing them to relate course material to their own lives.
  • Applying Social Psychology to Your Life boxes allow students to take self-report measures of concepts (conformity, rejection sensitivity, belief in a justice world), making concepts more personally relevant.
  • Learning Objectives paired with Core Questions relevant to scientific inquiry provide a framework for each chapter, allowing students to engage with the content as a science-driven dialogue rather than a one-sided lecture.
  • A wealth of end-of-chapter studying material includes key terms, summaries, review questions, and personal reflections to give students the opportunity to quickly review and retain content covered.
  • Applied mini-chapters offer coverage on a variety of topics, including behavioral economics, sustainability and environmentalism, law and the courtroom, stress and health, positive psychology, and more.
