Introduction to Social Psychology by Miles Hewstone
In this third edition, Hewstone and Stroebe have brought together some of the key theorists of European social psychology to produce an authoritative introduction to social psychology. The book includes new chapters on health psychology, organizational psychology and cooperation and conflict.
'The third edition of this popular and authoritative textbook has all the pluses of the earlier ones with additional and very welcome new materialThe coverage is broad and balanced. The chapters are concise and state of the art, not only at the cutting edge in terms of the latest research and thinking, but beautifully and simply written at the same time as conveying an intellectually coherent and expert appraisal of the topic. Where else can one go for a succinct summary of what is known in an area, an introduction to the key issues, both classic and contemporary, and a scholarly overview as thoughtful and penetrating as anything to be found in a research monograph or journal article? If there is another social psychology text which even attempts this, I haven't found it. The strategy of having chapters individually authored by leading researchers in the area really works. As one would expect from Hewstone and Stroebe, the book is absolutely first-rate and a real pleasure to read.' John C. Turner, Australian National University 'Hewstone and Stroebe give you the best of both worlds: a textbook that has the readability of its American counterparts without sacrificing a high level of scientific discourse. Already a classic, the third edition of their Introduction to Social Psychology has even further improved not only through new chapters on hot topics (e.g. health psychology) but also through attractive editorial features, like learning questions, advance outlines, enhanced graphics and glossaries. The result is a perfect blend of reading pleasure and intellectual stimulation.' Fritz Strack, University of W rzburg 'The third edition of Introduction to Social Psychology, is an extensively revised edition that brings together an outstanding array of scholars in social psychology. The chapters, which are written by leading international scholars in their areas of expertise, reflect a nice balance between classic and the most current research, offer wonderful integrative insights, and are engagingly written for students taking their first course in social psychology. Students will appreciate the clear organization of the chapters, the relevant examples, and the guides and summaries throughout. Although the book is subtitled A European Perspective, the information and insight the authors convey is exceptionally valuable for any student of social psychology. The editors, Hewstone and Stroebe, have done an excellent job in assembling a book that has coherence and continuity, that reflects the unique expertise of the contributors, and that will appeal to a broad range of students. The second edition of this book was an exemplary text; this edition is even better.' Jack Dovidio, Colgate University
