Social Psychology, Third Edition

by Michael A. Hogg, Graham M. Vaughan

The third edition of this popular text has been thoroughly updated, revised and reconfigured throughout. In addition, there are two entirely new chapters on self and identity, and on culture. This is an integrated and comprehensive introductory text that consolidates European and North American perspectives to provide a coverage of social psychology that meets the needs of European psychology students. To help achieve this goal, the authors are assisted by an advisory editorial board of fifteen leading scholars from across Europe.

Topics that have been given strong coverage include language and communication, group processes and intergroup relations, prejudice and discrimination, culture, social cognition, self and identity, social representations, and the historical context and background of social psychology. Michael Hogg is Professor of Social Psychology, Director of the Centre for Research on Group Processes, and Director of Research for the Faculty of Social and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Queensland, Brisbane. He is also a Fellow of the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia.

He has previously lectured at Bristol University, the University of Melbourne, and Princeton University, and has also held posts at Macquarie University, the University of California, Los Angeles, and the University of California, Santa Cruz. He has published over 170 scientific books, chapters and articles. Graham Vaughan is Professor of Psychology at the University of Auckland where he also served as Head of Department for 12 years.

He was President of the Society of Australasian Social Psychologists in 2000-01. He has previously held posts at Bristol University, Cambridge University, the Maison des Sciences de l'Homme in Paris, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Princeton University, and the National University of Singapore.

please stop putting your references behind every sentence, I feel like I’ve read more of them than actual content

Sometimes I think the people who write these books get a kick out of phrasing things in ways that barely make sense. Plenty of interesting topics covered in this book, and the word choices were occasionally interesting as well. And by that I mean annoying and frustrating.

Textbook for my Social Psychology course. It's my first psychology textbook so I don't have any other reference, but it was a comfortable read with clear presentation, many examples and good follow-up summaries. And the kindle version I bought on amazon is definitely a great deal (5.26 eur -> now: 4.97 eur).

Doesn't do a great job of helping students discriminate among the many terms that sound very similar but mean very different things.

4.5/5
Καλογραμμένο(όπως και τα περισσότερα βιβλία ψυχολογίας του συγκεκριμένου εκδοτικού οίκου),τις περισσότερες(αν οχι όλες) θεωρίες σε κάθε θέμα το οποίο αναφέρεται καθώς και παρά πολλά παραδείγματα και πειράματα για να γίνει πιο κατανοητή η κάθε θεωρία ξεχωριστά!
Ότι πρέπει για μια εισαγωγή στην κοινωνική ψυχολογία.

Το -0.5 οφείλεται στην αναπαράσταση των γραφηματων. Οι μεταβλητές είναι περισσότερες από όσες μπορεί να στηρίξει ένα διάγραμμα. Ως εκ τούτου χρειάζεται αρκετός χρόνος για να αποκωδικοποιησει κάποιος τα πολύπλοκα αυτά γραφήματα. Το οποίο θα μπορούσε πολύ εύκολα να λυθεί με την εισαγωγή περισσότερων γραφηματων λιγότερων μεταβλητών.. ελπίζω ο λόγος να ήταν περιβαλλοντολογικός!

I don't think I'll ever read this book in its entirety.
I had to read it (most of it, at least) for my Social Psychology course and I still regret buying it. I've seen and read better Psychology textbooks. Maybe the 1 star is a harsh critique but I'm very disappointed.
