Based on the bestselling text, "Social Psychology, 10th Edition, Exploring Social Psychology, 6th Edition" succinctly explores social psychological science and its applications to contemporary issues and everyday life. Thirty-one short modules - each readable in a single sitting - introduce students to important social phenomena and to how scientists discover and explain such phenomena. Throughout, students are challenged to think critically about such issues as: How does our thinking - both conscious and unconscious - drive our behavior? What leads people sometimes to hurt and sometimes to help one another? What kindles social conflict, and how can we transform closed fists into helping hands? Answering these and other questions, "Exploring Social Psychology, 6th Edition" explores social psychological science and its applications to contemporary issues and everyday life.

Quick Read,
This review is from: Exploring Social Psychology (Paperback)
This textbook is unlike any other i've been assigned in my classes before. The textbook is organized into many short chapters that are specific and straight forward. This text is absent of flowery time-wasting information that you know the professor is not going to test on. All text books should be written like this.

Great textbook,
By Megan (Bakersfield, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Exploring Social Psychology (Paperback)
I really enjoyed this book. The chapters were very short and got to the point quickly. It was organized well and had lots of great examples. The book reads like a conversation and has lots of graphs and charts. Great textbook.
