Overview

Social Psychology: Revisiting the Classic Studies critically reflects upon 18 of the most influential social psychology papers ever published and examines their continued relevance in today′s world. For this edition, there are new chapters on countering misinformation, crowd behaviour and gender stereotypes and all of the material has been revised to further demonstrate the capacity of social psychology to be self-reflective and self-correcting. Revisiting the Classic Studies is a series that introduces readers to the studies in psychology that changed the way we think about core topics in the discipline today. It provokes students to ask more interesting and challenging questions about the field by encouraging a deeper level of engagement with both the studies themselves and with the nature of their contribution. Edited by leading scholars in their field and written by researchers at the cutting edge of these developments, every chapter of these books provides details of the original works and their theoretical and empirical impact.
