This item has been replaced by Social Psychology, 12/E.

Baron/Byrne's Social Psychology —a text that has motivated students to take social psychology out of the classroom and into their lives for over a decade—has now been combined with a free, online source of relevant and timely articles on social psychology.

This Research Edition provides many opportunities for students to go beyond the book and learn more about social psychology from articles in leading social science journals, popular magazines, and the New York Times.

This classic text retains the hallmark of its own past success: up-to-date coverage of the quickly evolving subject matter written in a lively manner that has been embraced by hundreds of thousands of students around the world.

Diversity continues to be a current and important theme in the field. In addition, the authors incorporate the coverage of diversity throughout the text. Discussion of the topic is annotated in the margin of the book with a diversity icon.

“Connections tables” are provided at the end of every chapter to help explain the relationship between certain topics within the field of social psychology. “Critical Thinking” questions follow the “Connections” tables.

“Key Points” at the end of every major section help students understand what they have read and key terms are printed in bold so that students will be able to look for definitions both within the text and the glossary at the end of the book. Chapter summaries, called “Summary and Review of Key Points” help students assess what they have read.

Subscription to Research Navigator (ContentSelect and New York Times online research archives) included with every book—free, unlimited access for six months from any computer with an Internet connection.

Special User Guide in the front of the book helps students use the resources in Research Navigator for every chapter in the book:
- Recommended keywords for conducting online article searches
- Annotated bibliography of full-text articles available in Research Navigator
- Suggestions for research projects and exercises

A new feature, “Beyond the Headlines: As Social Psychologists See It,” takes real-life news events and examines them from the field of social psychology. This feature illustrates how the topics can be applied to many aspects of human behavior.

Another new feature, “Ideas to Take with You,” highlights important concepts. At the end of every chapter, these concepts are focused on because they will impact the student long after the course is completed.

The evolutionary perspective has been embraced by much of the academic community, and the authors discuss this perspective at numerous points in the text. Discussion of this topic is annotated in the margin of the book with a biological icon.

Important new topics: Effects of ingratiation on attraction, salary, and promotions; cultural differences in the content of attractiveness stereotypes; costs and benefits of romantic relationships; effects of high temperatures and alcohol on aggression; memories of abuse in childhood; genetic and personal factors in job satisfaction; and interpersonal justice.

Applied psychology is now covered in one chapter (Ch. 13).

Each chapter concludes with “Summary and Review of Key Points,” “Key Terms,” and “For More Information.”
