Social Psychology Tenth Edition by Saul Kassin

Distinguished by its current-events emphasis in such areas as sports, music, entertainment, technology, business, and world politics; and the aim to bring the outside world into the field of social psychology through engaging connections to everyday life, SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY, Tenth Edition, remains one of the most scholarly and well-written texts in its field. Integrating classic and contemporary research, the text also includes comprehensive coverage of social cognition and evolutionary psychology, and features authoritative material on social psychology and the law. Coverage of culture and diversity is integrated into every chapter by Hazel Rose Markus, a leader and respected researcher in the study of cultural psychology. The book is available with MindTap, a digital learning experience that guides you through the course by combining readings, videos and multimedia, and interactive assignments — complemented by tools such as note taking and a text-to-speech app.
