Product Description

Product Description

A landmark text, "The Social Animal" offers a brief, compelling introduction to modern social psychology. Through vivid narrative, lively presentations of research and intriguing examples, Aronson probes the patterns and motives of human behaviour, covering such diverse topics as terrorism, conformity, obedience, politics, race relations, advertising, war, interpersonal attraction, and religious cults. The tenth edition offers revised and updated coverage in every chapter, using current examples to teach students how to interpret world events using social psychology.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely magnificent! A must-read!, 13 Dec 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Social Animal (A Series of Books in Psychology) (Paperback)
A very interesting and tremendously well-written book--a pure delight to read. In writing this book, Aronson not only demonstrates his wide-ranging knowledge of Social Psychology, but also attempts (very successfully, in my opinion) to transmit to the reader his infectious enthusiasm for the subject. By consciously choosing not to employ pretentious language (alas, the bane of academia!), Aronson allows the subject to speak for itself. This is an immensely readable book (any high-school student would have no problems with it) but is nonetheless very informative. It would not be an overexaggeration to say that having read this book during my freshman year in college was one of the first in a series of steps that culminated in my decision to go on to graduate school in Social Psychology. Read it!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Social Animal: Bible of the Psychology of Society, 22 Nov 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Social Animal (A Series of Books in Psychology) (Paperback)
This a fantastically user friendly guide to understand whether or not things we say about much of human behavior is true. For example "Is beauty really in the eye of the beholder?" "If I want people to believe me, should I speak first or last?" "What attracts people to each other?" "Will seeing violence on TV matter?" Elliot Aronson, author of 15 books, noted scientist, and member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, concisely explains a number of social issues with the light of scientific truth. Internationally recognized for sixteen years, The Social Animal, offers plain and often funny insight as to what psychologists know about human behavior in the social context. Used as both text book and sophisticated reading, few books offer enlightenment about what happens in social cirmstances, with such easily understood and scientific presentation.
