In this very descriptive textbook, the basics of social psychology are outlined and the relevant studies are summarized. I often feel that psychology textbooks get bogged down in the specifics of the study and lose sight of the bigger picture. I am happy to report that this textbook avoids that trap. Each chapter has a theme (e.g. "Attitudes") and a concluding review section to revisit new concepts.
We used this textbook for my Intro to Social Psych class, and I was very pleased with it. Yes, it's a hefty price, but paperback is probably still cheaper than the hardback version!
