Social Psychology
"This Volume is everything one would want from a handbook" —CHOICE Magazine
"The Handbook is a tour de force survey of current Social Psychology… it makes an excellent resource for personal use by researchers, graduate students and perhaps advanced undergraduates who are seeking an in-depth background treatment of major topics."
—Professor Richard C. Sherman, Miami University
"The Handbook maps on to my current curricula perfectly. I've been searching for a text that is comprehensive, yet reader-friendly, and this text does a terrific job in both of these regards."
—Professor John R. Chambers, University of Florida
The SAGE Handbook of Social Psychology has, since its publication in 2003, lived up to its intentions of being a definitive resource for advanced students and researchers in social psychology as well as those in cognate disciplines throughout the world. Authored by leading scholars in the field, it is both comprehensive in scope, authoritative and scholarly.
In response to market demand, The SAGE Handbook of Social Psychology: Concise Student Edition represents a slimmer, more course-focused and student-friendly volume than the original Handbook. The editors and authors have also updated all references, provided chapter introductions and summaries and a new Preface outlining the benefits of using the Handbook as an upper level teaching resource. It will prove indispensable reading for all upper level and graduate students studying social psychology.
'The Sage Handbook of Social Psychology is clearly written and well laid out...Each chapter contains enough infomation to keep the most avid student interested. it is probably best suited for advanced undergraduate modules but that is not to say that a keen first-year student could not benefit from having a look at it. A postgraduate student just starting their research or Masters degreemay also find this book useful in that it may help for some interesting ideas.' -

Psychology: Learning and Teaching
The book speaks to application of social psychology principles to human behaviour at several settings
Most of the lecture is in German and hence draws on German textbooks, but I always have Hogg's excellent handbook with me in one of the early sessions and encourage students to adopt it as a supplemental book to study for their exams and if they revisit social psychology later in their studies.
Current book in use is good
Group decision to go with a different text for that course.
This book provides undergraduate students with an accessible, engaging introduction to some of the key questions investigated, and to kinds of methods used, in social psychological research. By reading this resource, students can gain a valuable initial understanding of some of the important and exciting research that is conducted in this field.
this text provides general and specific explanations for social phenomena, which supports, in many ways, interactive student learning
A good supplement to the course reading, clear text and concise
First thing that one sees in this book are very small letters. This is rather a technical detail, but it makes this book impossible to read on a bus or in public places where the light is not optimal. Making it a few pages thicker and the letters bigger would help. After finding a good place to read one can say only good things about this book. It talks about most important fields of social psychology very competently, but concisely. It gives a bit of a historical view on how the theories and methods were developed in social psychology. Good for junior as well as senior scientists who want to get an overview of a specific area of social psychology. For undergraduates rather not suitable.
Good compilation of articles central to social psych. However, I need a main textbook, this is better as a supplement.
