Social Psychology: A South African Perspective

About this book

This second edition of Social Psychology: A South African Perspective offers a fresh and compelling exploration of the fascinating field of social psychology, with South African examples and applications. Authors Roy Baumeister and Brad Bushman, together with a team of South African contributors, give students integrated and accessible insight into the ways that nature, the social environment and culture interact to influence social behaviour. With its strong visual appeal, an engaging writing style, and the best of classic and current research, this book helps students make sense of the sometimes baffling -- but always interesting -- diversity of human behaviour.
