For an undergraduate introductory level course in social psychology.
Research made relevant through a story-telling approach.
This renowned text maintains its acclaimed story-telling approach to convey the science of social psychology while making research relevant to students. The authors bring the material under study to life through real-world examples that capture students' attention and motivate further exploration. Paying particular attention to the classic research that has driven the field and introucing cutting-edge research that is the future of Social Psychology, Aronson/Wilson/Akert provide a firm foundation for students to build their understanding of this rigorous science in a way that engages and fascinates.
This product accompanies:
Aronson, Wilson & Akert,
Social Psychology, 7/E
Research Made Relevant
The "Try It!" exercises invite students to take a specific theory or research finding and apply it to their own lives. Three "Try It!" exercises are in each chapter and they encourage students to become active participants in the learning process. Additional "Try It!" exercises can be found on the companion website: www.prenhall.com/aronson.
The authors emphasize the rigorous science that is Social Psychology through real research examples and by encouraging students to think twice about their preconceived notions of what Social Psychology is and isn't. See pg. 31 in Chapter 2 for a "What's Your Prediction?" quiz. In addition:
Connections
"Connections" are included in selected chapters where research findings can be directly applied to real-world problems. By connecting social psychology to real events the material is not only more interesting for students but also deepens their understanding. See pg. 115 in Chapter 4 for "Attributions about 9/11"
Story-telling approach
Through real-life vignettes, which open each chapter, and "mini-stories" throughout each chapter, Aronson 6e provokes student interest by focusing on real-life examples.
Opening Vignettes--Real-life vignettes that illustrates the concepts to come and is refered back to throughout the chapter material. See pg. 373, Chapter 12 Aggression: "Why Do We Hurt Other People? Can We Prevent It?"
Mini-Stories--several woven into each chapter that both illustrate specific concepts and bring the material to life. Each has an example of a real-life phenomenon that is designed to pique students' interest (taken from current events, literature, real life) and then demonstrated through an experiment that attempts to explain the phenomenon.
Chapters 14-16 on Applied Topics:
Classic and Modern research
Aronson 6e presents a balance between the latest findings in the field with classic research in social psychology. Noting that some older studies deserve their status as classics and are important cornerstones to the discipline, Aronson 6e encourages students to experience the continuity and depth of the field versus regarding it as a collection of studies published in the past few years.
