Elliot Aronson's primary research is in the area of social influence. Throughout his career he has sought to do experiments that would integrate his passion about basic science with his desire to apply those research findings toward improving the human condition (e.g., to reduce prejudice, deter bullying, and convince people to conserve energy and other natural resources).Elliot Aronson's classic introductory textbook, The Social Animal, first published in 1972, is now out in its 12th edition (2018), in collaboration with Elliot's son, NYU professor Joshua Aronson. Elliot is the only psychologist to have won APA's highest awards in all three major academic categories: For distinguished writing (1973), for distinguished teaching (1980), and for distinguished research (1999). In 2002, he was listed among the 100 most eminent psychologists of the 20th Century (APA Monitor, July/August, 2002).

Product DescriptionFor an undergraduate introductory level course in social psychology. Research made relevant through a storytelling approach.
This renowned text maintains its acclaimed storytelling approach to convey the science of social psychology while making research relevant to students. The authors bring the material under study to life through real-world examples that capture students' attention and motivate further exploration. Paying particular attention to the classic research that has driven the field and introducing cutting-edge research that is the future of Social Psychology, Aronson/Wilsokert provide a firm foundation for students to build their understanding of this rigorous science in a way that engages and fascinates.
This is the main text only- if you want the. Pros: This book comes with everything you might expect - a cover, and some pages inside.Cons: This book feels like it is distributed with a younger student population in mind - middle or high school. Frequent references are made to pop culture (eg. I bought this textbook for my social psychology class. The book is well organized and easy to read, with key concepts or definitions either bolded or slanted. I bought the book new, and so it came new without any highlighting or pen markings.
I like how each definition is explained by classic studies in the field. Also concepts are further explained through both classic studies and more recent studies. This is a fantastic textbook and has end of chapter reviews and tests. This social psychology textbook compares different aspects of psychology like personality and other social sciences to better understand concepts. This book is fairly large compared to other textbooks. The textbook has supported material online and can be bought accompanied by MyPsychLab. I bought this textbook looseleaf for about 60 dollars.
Unfortunately, the college textbook system is a scam so I can only sell it back for less than half. The book was looseleaf, in a dirty binder. Which is more of a reflection on the seller than on the quality of the book itself. It does a very good job of going over the basics of social psychology- how people behave in groups and how the presence or perceived presence of others affects an individual's behavior. It's a very fascinating concept and easy to grasp even if you aren't someone who likes the psych field or thinks that studying it is pointless. It's very entry level, but presented in a way that makes it interesting. Very thought provoking.
This book provides alot of research-based evidence or experiments to support everything it says or most of what it saysit includes some examples from ABC's 'what would you do' show. A very good show you can watch on youtube.one of the best ones is the one about the bike thief:) seriously look for it.I got a highlighted version:)still, i know this book could have more improvements, like making highlights for usand giving us a better way of helping us find examples of everything we learn on our own. Good book, good condition for renting, and good price. One thing that bugged me regarding the content of the book is the sad attempt to make the book longer than it needs to be. Example after example, the book tries to substantiate simple ideas.

Some chapters are around 30 pages long, not because the theories and ideas were numerous, but because of all the nonsense, experiments, and sidetracks written. After reading this book 3 times for my exam, I only remember s couple of experiments anyways and got an A on the final and in the class. Everything else just went in one side and out the other because of how insignificant they were. But based on price, physical quality, and rent guarantee, I'd give the book 4 stars.
