Social Psychology: A Storytelling Approach uses a true storytelling approach to educate readers about the potential of research in the field to shed light on influences on human behavior.
The narratives engage students as they gather knowledge about the field. Students learn about social perception and social inference, the self, and persuasion and attitude change. They discover how compliance, conformity, and obedience affect behavior, and investigate group processes, interpersonal attraction, and intimate relationships. The latter sections of the text address the darker aspects of social psychology through a review of the literature and stories about prejudice, discrimination, aggression, and violence. The final chapter is devoted to the social psychology of genocide and terrorism.
