Customer Reviews

Excellent book

Social psychology is common sense psychology. I appreciate how the soft cover edition was made available to those who did not want to spend big bucks on common sense stuff. So the price was great. The content was also very interesting and the pictures and modules made the book very valuable to me. Excellent choice for anybody interested in human behavior.
