| Summary, etc | Psychology recognises no borders. The relationships between people and the groups they form are determined by similar principles no matter where in the world they come from. This book has been written to introduce students from all countries and backgrounds to the exciting field of social psychology. Recognising the limitations that come from studying the subject through the lens of any one culture, the authors have crafted a truly international social psychology book for the modern era. Based on classic and cutting-edge scholarship from across the world, this text encourages mastery of the basics as well as critical thinking |
