Harris James L. Meriam James L. Exploring Psychology, 11 th Edition , PDF provides outstanding currency on the research, practice, and teaching of psychology. DeWall and Myers motivate psychology students with fascinating findings and applications, helpful new study tools and technologies, and a compassionate and captivating storytelling voice. Their presentation is based on the same guiding principles that made David G. Ease learning by teaching critical thinking and helping students at every step.

Present psychology as a science, stressing g the process of inquiry and putting facts in the service of concepts. No access codes are included. Other than these two questionable areas I found the text to be well rounded and non-offensive. Are there any other comments you would like to make about this book, for example, its appropriateness in a Canadian context or specific updates you think need to be made? I refer to these in my lecturers because they make love not war.

The Social Psychology comparison text makes mention : the current text does not. I find this text appropriate for 4th year University Students although I would not use it for the above listed reasons. I hope this review is useful to your work. Charles Stangor, author, frames the text around the two human motivations of self-concern and other-concern then uses this frame to focus discussions on a variety of individual and social dimensions including altruism, aggression, prejudice, Such an approach is comprehensive yet cohesive.

Even the introduction describes a mass suicide. Examples tend to be shock oriented, perhaps indicative of the bias that undergrads have short attention spans.

A broader range of examples and affect is encouraged. In terms of accuracy, the text is well supported, cited, and explained. It appears to be error free. In this way, he illustrates the evolution of social psychology and also suggests that it is a social science under continuous development. Such an approach leaves the text open to updates while communicating the idea that a body of research is to under constant evolution and open to continuous contribution and challenge.

Stangor also accomplishes the task of illustrating that concepts have originators or major theorists who shall not be discounted or considered obsolete simply because of the date beside their name but that they play a significant role in the development of a construct or insight. The references are linked and collated, and therefore easy to expand and update.

The simple and repetitive structure is comforting to the reader yet each section is complex and multifaceted enough to provide interest. At the same time, the clear structure provides editors with an easy means to update sections by providing a pattern of components to cycle through.

Some of the allusions are dated i. In the Public Interest sections are relevant, applied and purposefully constructed. Easy updating possible. Chapter summaries appreciated by the reader and illustrate an effective summary section that not only highlights the key points of a chapter, but discusses the wider social and human implications for these concepts. As mentioned earlier, the structure of the book is cyclical and repetitive while sustaining complexity, interest, and variation.

This characteristic also makes the text relevant to other contexts, courses, and disciplines. As an interdisciplinary field, Social Psych has relevance to many subject areas such as business, health, law, communication, and education. The flow of the individual chapters is also coherent. The framework for each chapter is captured in the learning objectives and introductory paragraph for ease of reading and access.

The reasoning or relationships governing the organizational framework of the chapter are also described in the introductory framework. Topics, references, issues, references, and examples are from a diverse spectrum but also attend to particular issues of diversity or interculturalism in an insightful, modern, and relevant manner.

Throughout the text, culture is described in terms of national or hemispheric characteristics i. This reviewer would argue for a more sophisticated worldview and discussion of culture as extending to values, beliefs and assumptions as determined by myriad factors including but not limited to race or geography; cultural factors also include education, heritage, economics, experience, employment, history, social influencers, etc.

Obama, advertisements, cultural norms, educational systems, news stories. On the whole, this text covers all of the topics one would expect to see within a social psychology textbook. However, the author has made some interesting choices that reflect his pedagogical goals and biases. For example, instead of including For example, instead of including separate applications of social psychological principles in separate modules at the end of the text what has become a common approach in the field , he has instead integrated applications e.

On the one hand this is a good idea and allows students to see some possible applications of concepts as they learn them. On the other hand it results in chapters running a bit long and students encountering additional terms and information before they have had a chance to master the basics.

The text includes some good pedagogical features, including learning objectives embedded within each module within each chapter, useful exercises at the end of each module, and a section within each chapter on social psychology in the public interest applications of social psychological principles. For the most part the organization of chapters follows a fairly standard template starting with methods and going on to social cognition, the self, attitudes, social influence, attraction, prosocial behaviour, aggression, groups, and prejudice.

However, an early focus on social learning Chapter 2 and social affect Chapter 3 is unusual in its prominence most social psychology textbooks do not include a separate chapter on social affect. The text does not include a table of contents or an index, both of which are highly desirable. Strangor supplies a sometimes long list of references at the end of each module within each chapter, which is helpful.

Note: The text makes occasional reference to video clips e. Given the hierarchical organization of the text learning objectives within modules within chapters updates could target specific topic areas. One quibble: Many of the examples provided are fairly outdated e. Learning objectives and chapter summaries further assist comprehension. Strangor follows the same pattern in every chapter which makes for a predictable and manageable format. Each module includes useful exercises that help consolidate learning.

However, an early focus on social learning Chapter 2 and especially social affect Chapter 3 is unusual in its prominence most social psychology textbooks do not include a separate chapter on social affect. There are also sub-topics within the text that appear to borrow heavily in content and tone from traditional chapters in an introductory psychology text e.

Given that Strangor has also authored an open introductory psychology text this is likely not a coincidence. However, there are several oddly formatted graphs e.

Directions to view non-existent video clips should be omitted. For example, occasionally there are sets of words printed together with no space in between. However, as far as cultural relevance is concerned, this text is a US edition and the examples e. Some of the examples e. A second year university student in would have been 7 years old in The textbook is very through regarding all areas and ideas of the subject. Further, the author presents a clear pedagogical framework: the text applies cognitive load theory, moving, as the writer tells us in the Preface that it will be, The writer is well grounded and has a specific focus in the subject through years of teaching and provides many supportive resources, such as real-life examples, video clips, topic summaries, and exercises, and external website URLs, to name a few.

However, there is no index, nor is there a glossary. It would be useful, given the amount of terminology in this textbook, to have two sets of glossaries per chapter. One set would appear after the Key Takeaways section which appears at the end of each topic and could be called Key Terms, and the other set would be a Chapter Terms section at the end of the chapter, appearing directly after the Chapter Summary.

Further, there would be a glossary at the end of the textbook, with page references. These terms would also be included in the index. In the Exercises and Critical Thinking sections, students are asked to define terminology, but because there is no glossary or answer key to the exercises, there is no place for students to compare their definitions with those of the author.

Reference lists are consistently and accurately formatted according to APA Style 6th ed. I checked most of them and found very few, minor errors, other than the spacing issue that I will explain later in this review. Also, check the Rosenberg Scale on p. From the examples used throughout, I detected a certain amount of bias. The target audience for the textbook itself not including the Preface seems to be limited to young, North American, college students.

It might be appropriate, given the subject matter, to include a more diverse audience base, such as students from other cultures and in a range of age groups. Also, there is a bias toward a positive thinking approach; there is no mention of cognitive behavioural therapy or other approaches used in psychotherapy. Both students and instructors can quickly find and tap into these for in-classroom or self-study.

For example, the Dancing Matt Harding reference is already outdated, since Harding has released more videos since Further, it might be a good idea to use physical separation in addition to, or perhaps instead of, the use of italic font between the example material and the textbook commentary, particularly if any third-party material is used.

Suggestion: set out some of these illustrative sections as case studies maybe one case study per chapter followed later in the topic by exercises and reflective questions that refer back to the case studies. They could be broken up as appropriate and more expositive subheadings could be introduced to help chunk the content something an editor could help with.

Italic font is used for several purposes: 1 for the illustrative real-life examples of concepts, 2 sometimes for key terms, and 3 for in-text definitions of these key terms. Definitions are sometimes italicized, but additional non-essential words are included see p.

The Preface should include an explanation of any such font choice and the first chapter should include a reminder of what the author has decided to do in this regard and then apply the choice consistently. Font colour, when referring to a table or figure in text, could be matched when referring to the captions. This is helpful to instructors who, when designing learning activities that include readings from this textbook, can refer to topic readings by number, and to students, who want to refer back to those topics.

However, as mentioned in the previous section, there are large blocks of unbroken text. More subheadings are needed. Also, providing a mini-table of contents at the start of each chapter could serve as an advance organizer, a heads-up to all readers regarding what to expect in that chapter.

One way to organize this in each chapter is to have the mini TOC I have suggested including, then the Learning Objectives and the real-life illustrative example for that chapter. The structure of the textbook and the complexity of the ideas presented builds; the commentary is flowing and easy to understand.

I would prefer to give a 4. Subheadings need to stand out from body text see, for example, p. Captions are sometimes inconsistently titled, and these need to be consistent throughout so as to avoid any confusion for readers. Include the figure number and title with the caption itself instead of separating it; otherwise, the caption could be confused with the body text the commentary.

Again, it feels as if, from the examples used and places mentioned when discussing a concept, that the intended audience members are predominantly North American and possibly of European extraction , have English as a first language, are familiar with dorms and fraternities, and are young. This could also be because much of the research referred to is of North American origin. Halloween is mentioned p. I may, however, be sensitive to this type of bias because I work at a university with many international students, and I do acknowledge that the subject of social psychology is based on North American and European research.

But what do researchers in other parts of the world have to say about social psychology? Illustrative examples need to be more globally focused, too. Include a glossary and index. Consider the cultural, social, environmental, and national context in which this textbook might be used. Use more informative and engaging diagrams.

Update all real-life examples. Fix the spacing issues. Break up long paragraphs and use more subheadings. Use mini TOCs at the start of each chapter. Strong points are the extensive and wonderfully APA-formatted references, the comprehensiveness of the material, and the engaging and empathic writing style.

Have you ever had trouble teaching the various topics of social psychology and fitting them together to form a coherent field? Unnamed Author felt like he was presenting a laundry list of ideas, research studies, and phenomena, rather than an integrated set of principles and knowledge. He wondered how his students could be expected to remember and understand the many phenomena that social psychologists study?

How could they tell what was most important? It was then that he realized a fresh approach to a Social Psychology textbook was needed to structure and integrate student learning; thus, Principles of Social Psychology was born. This textbook is based on a critical thinking approach, and its aim is to get students thinking actively and conceptually — with a greater focus on the forest than the trees.

Yes, there are right and wrong answers, but the answers are not the only thing. What is perhaps even more important is how students get to the answers — the thinking process itself.

To help students better grasp the big picture of social psychology, and to provide you with a theme that you can use to organize your lectures, Unnamed Author's text has a consistent pedagogy across the chapters. The presentation is organized around two underlying principles that are essential to social psychology:. The author believes these dimensions are fundamental, that they are extremely heuristic, and that they are what he hopes your students and his will learn and remember.

You may find that this organization represents a more explicit representation of what you're already doing in your lectures. Although the pedagogy is consistent, it is not constraining. You can and will use these dimensions more in some lectures than in others, and you will find them more useful for some topics than others.

But they will always work for you when you are ready for them. Perhaps most important, a focus on these dimensions helps us bridge the gap between the textbook, the real-life experiences of our students, and our class presentations. It is almost impossible to can't cover every phenomenon in your lectures — you can naturally let the textbook fill in the details. The goal of Principles of Social Psychology is to allow you to rest assured that the text has provided your students with the foundations— the fundamental language of social psychology — from which you can build as you see fit.

And when you turn to ask students to apply their learning to real life, you can know that they will be doing this as social psychologists do — using a basic underlying framework.

A note about the organization of this text: it moves systematically from lower to higher levels of analysis — a method that makes sense to students. On the other hand, Unnamed Author insists, the chapter order should not constrain you — choose a different order if you wish.

Chapter 1 presents an introduction to social psychology and the research methods in social psychology, Chapter 2 presents the fundamental principles of social cognition, and Chapter 3 focuses on social affect. The remainder of the text is organized around three levels of analysis, moving systematically from the individual level Chapters , to the level of social interaction Chapters to the group and cultural level Chapters This approach is consistent with the underlying theme that if students learn to think like social psychologists they will easily and naturally apply that knowledge to any and all applications.

The following applications are woven throughout the text:. It is the "thinking like a social psychologist" theme, structured approach and new pedagogy like research foci and Social Psychology in the Public Interest , that will make teaching and learning Social Psychology from this textbook an even more exciting and rewarding endeavor.
