Reseña del editor

Connecting Social Psychology to the world around us.  Social Psychology introduces students to the science of us: our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a changing world.  Students learn to think critically about everyday behaviors and gain an appreciation for the world around us, regardless of background or major.  In this edition, esteemed author David Myers is again joined by respected psychology professor and generational differences researcher Jean Twenge, in presenting an integrated learning program designed for today's students.
