I welcome this new edition of Paul Dickerson's Social Psychology. I particularly appreciate the coverage of contemporary issues and debates such as critical race theory, and the inclusion of a wide range of research from outside the Western world. The critical reviews of topics are excellent for enriching students' understandings, and it's great to see coverage of communication and interaction in a Social Psychology textbook. I'll be recommending this book to my students. -- Mick Finlay * Market development team * Compares and contrasts different theoretical frameworks, it tackles the question of what it means to be critical from a decolonial and discursive perspective, the opening cases are wonderful, it draws the latest developments in technology and tries to unpack its intersections and implications for social psychology. -- Stavroula Tsirogianni * Market development team *
