Longman

Appropriate for one-semester social psychology courses in colleges and universities. 
In this first Canadian edition, the authors have provided essential content in a Canadian context, using a relaxed, story-telling style. Fundamentals combines a scientific approach, drawing on both classic and contemporary research, with a focus on applications. Each chapter is concise and self-contained in terms of topics and concepts. Consequently, instructors can assign the chapters in any order they please; concepts are always explained in clear terms so that students won’t need to have read earlier chapters in order to grasp the meanings of later ones. 
Based on the highly regarded full-size Aronson text, Fundamentals has 10 streamlined chapters, (compared to 13 plus 3 separate applied chapters in the comprehensive text): Topics of social cognition and social perception have been condensed into a single chapter, “Social Cognition and Social Perception: The Social World and How We Understand Other People” (Chapter 3). Examination of self is now presented in a single chapter, “Self-Knowledge and Self-Justification” (Chapter 4). Chapter 9, “Prosocial Behaviour and Aggression: Why People Help and Hurt One Another,” combines coverage of these two sides of human behaviour.\nFrom the Inside Flap\nSocial psychology is full of good stories, such as how the actions of people like Greg Baytalan–a British Columbia man who cut short his vacation in Australia to fly to Thailand to assist in the grisly task of unloading the bodies of tsunami victims–can be explained, or how the Holocaust inspired investigations into obedience to authority and how this research helps us understand the recent abuse of Iraqi prisoners by American soldiers. 
Rich in Canadian research and cultural examples, Fundamentals of Social Psychology combines a scientific approach with a focus on applications and the everyday experiences of readers. In an accessible and practical way, the authors have streamlined topic coverage to capture the essence of the discipline, drawing on both contemporary research that is moving the field forward and classic studies that represent the cornerstones of the discipline. 
The Companion Website at www.pearsoned.ca/aronson contains: A self-grading pre-test and post-test for each chapter with a Personal Gradebook where scores can be compiled–great for exam prep! Live!Psych interactive simulations that use audio and video components to clarify meanings and to reinforce key concepts. …And other study aids\nFrom the Back Cover\nSocial psychology is full of good stories, such as how the actions of people like Greg Baytalan–a British Columbia man who cut short his vacation in Australia to fly to Thailand to assist in the grisly task of unloading the bodies of tsunami victims–can be explained, or how the Holocaust inspired investigations into obedience to authority and how this research helps us understand the recent abuse of Iraqi prisoners by American soldiers.

The Student Study Guide for this revised edition elevates the notion of study guidance to a new level. Beginning with the Study Guide author's personal message to students, the outlining of the 'guided review' sections provides students with a new degree of insight into their own learning practices. By the end of the semester, students should not only have a firm grasp of material, but also the process by which they reached that point of understanding. The Student Study Guide's features include chapter highlights, key terms and concepts, comprehensive guided progress tests with multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank, matching, short answer, and essay questions, and a fun study activity for each chapter. Each chapter also contains two 'exit tests' drawing on the main topics of the 'guided review' sections, enabling students to self-assess once all review activities have been completed. The Student Study Guide was expertly prepared by Cynthia K. Shinabarger Reed of Tarrant County College.
