Recenzii

This lively and engaging textbook places the student reader at its heart. Sutton and Douglas provide an insightful critical overview of the discipline together with inspiring real-world student research projects. This edition keeps an impressive pace with advances in the field, including important new theoretical and methodological perspectives on seminal studies.
I strongly recommend this textbook to anyone teaching undergraduate social psychology. It provides extensive and up-to-date coverage of research in the area, and is written in an accessible style that draws students in and keeps them engaged. I have used it in my own teaching, and never looked back. In my view, it is one of the best textbooks on the market. The additional online resources are a huge bonus if you are new lecturer preparing teaching material for the first time.
Sutton and Douglas have updated their excellent book, not just by adding recent studies but also by re-evaluating some of the classics. With its systematic encouragement of reflection and critical thinking, a real-world focus, and inspiring examples of qualitative and quantitative student work, this is not just a great textbook but an advertisement for social psychology itself.
In this second edition, Sutton and Douglas have produced a rare textbook which engages students not merely as consumers of knowledge, but as collaborators in the learning process. Nurturing critical thinking and raising consciousness every step of the way, they masterfully explain and apply social psychology to critique the world around them and social psychology itself. Indeed, it will be my go-to-guide for teaching social psychology for many years to come.
Robbie Sutton and Karen Douglas have written an excellent and timely overview of the field of social psychology. Easy to read and well-structured, it provides students with a wealth of information and knowledge. What I like most is that it actively challenges students to critically reflect on social psychological findings and the methods and experiments by which those findings have been acquired. - Alain Van Hiel, Ghent University, Belgium
