"I feel [Social Psychology] is better than most [textbooks], because of the numerous examples given and how it also relates to current society. I also enjoyed the questions in between readings and how you can apply [concepts] to you own life." -- Student Skye Mckelvy
"[Social Psychology] gives me concrete examples of real life situations. The flow of the text is very comprehendible, and everything builds upon one another. It is an easy read, compared to a past Social Psychology textbook I read a year ago. It kept me engaged for the most part while reading, [without] normal, everyday distractions getting in the way."
