About the Book
For courses in Social Psychology An integrative approach highlights the relevance of social psychology to students' lives
Revel(TM) Social Psychology: Goals in Interaction shows how human social behaviors are woven together in related, interconnected patterns. Integrating applications and methods throughout the text, authors Douglas Kenrick, Steven Neuberg, Robert Cialdini, and David Lundberg-Kenrick prompt students to consider personal and situational factors, as well as the interactions among these factors, when analyzing human behavior. The 7th Edition offers updated research in the field as well as coverage of contemporary topics, many relating to how technology affects the way people interact, to emphasize the relevance of the discipline to students today.

Informed by extensive research on how people read, think, and learn, Revel is an interactive learning environment that enables students to read, practice, and study in one continuous experience -- for less than the cost of a traditional textbook.
