商品簡介
Gilovich (psychology, Cornell U.) et al. offer undergraduate students a textbook on social psychology that describes the social nature of human life and the methods social psychologists use to study it. They include illustrations of the application of social psychology to everyday life, including mini-chapters on health and stress, behavioral economics, the study of human intelligence and education, and a new module on the legal system. This edition also has additional theory and research on the self as fundamentally social; new sections on norms, power, and how social comparison processes and self-control strategies can function automatically; new coverage of construal level theory and insider and outsider perspectives; new findings on the social importance of touch, how mimicry is important in friendships, how emotions like disgust are drivers of moral judgment, and how people from the upper classes are less altruistic; new research on political ideology and barriers to persuasion; new evidence linking inequality in a culture to levels of aggression; and more on violence against women and barriers to conflict resolution. The text comes with access to an e-book, interactive study exercises, author videos, critical-thinking exercises, online labs, flashcards, and other resources.
