Advanced Social Psychology: The State of the Science

Social psychology uses clever, even ingenious, research methods to explore the most essential questions of the human psyche: Why do we help some people and harm others? Why do we pay so much more attention to powerful people than they pay to us? If humans evolved from great apes, why are human selves so much more elaborate? How do social relationships make us more versus less prone toward physical illness? This volume provides a graduate-level introduction to social psychology. The authors are world-renowned leaders on their topic, and they have written state-of-the-art overviews of the discipline's major research domains. The chapters convey the joy, excitement, and promise of scientific investigations into human sociality.
