Applied Social Psychology: Understanding and Addressing Social and Practical Problems

By Frank W. Schneider, Jamie A. Gruman, Larry M. Coutts

Book Overview

"I like this text a lot. It provides enough material for both upper-level undergraduate and graduate students. The information is easy to read and easy to follow even for non-psychology majors. The first four chapters provide an excellent framework for not only understanding the other chapters but as a resource by which students can begin to design their own studies depending of their areas of interest. The ′Focus on Intervention′ feature helps to make the text unique."
-Theodore Joseph, Stephen F. Austin State University

This textbook serves as an introduction to the field of applied social psychology, which focuses on understanding social and practical problems and on developing intervention strategies directed at the amelioration of such problems. A core feature of the book is attaining a balance among theory, research, and application. In the Second Edition, the contributing authors have updated the text with the latest research and incorporated current examples to which students can relate.

Easy to read text.

Very reader friendly, simplifies subject matter with lots of great examples.Quite comprehensive coverage of topics. Some bias is evident as both positives and negatives on issues is not always presented with balanced. A great text for the subject area.
