Readings In Social Psychology by Wayne A. Lesko (2005, Paperback)

Lesko's Readings in Social Psychology: General, Classic, and Contemporary Selections, Sixth Edition, provides a unique combination of popular, classic, and recent pieces on each topic, inviting students to experience the different sources of information in the field.

Each of the fifteen chapters in this collection of readings begins with an introduction and is followed by three articles: one general ("popular"), one classic, and one contemporary. The articles are prefaced with a short introduction and followed by critical questions designed to facilitate comprehension and encourage discussion. A new feature of this edition is the inclusion of chapter integration questions designed to bring together the articles in each section. The use of both popular readings and research articles gives students a broad range of views and theories within the discipline of social psychology.

The topical organization of the collection parallels Baron/Byrne/Bramscombe's Social Psychology, Eleventh Edition. However, Readings in Social Psychology can be used with any social psychology textbook or as a stand-alone reader in courses that do not use full textbooks.

The Sixth Edition includes 23 new articles, with new separate chapters on forensic psychology and health psychology.
