Features
Conceptual Coherence
Rather than present social psychology as a collection of isolated theories and research findings, Greenberg, Schmader, Arndt, and Landau emphasize overarching theoretical concepts, providing a coherent context for discussing the field’s major research areas and cutting-edge discoveries.
Connecting Theory, Research, and Applications
In each chapter, Social Psychology integrates coverage of theory, research methods, empirical findings, and applications across a broad range of diverse cultures. This approach helps students appreciate social psychology’s relevance to their own lives and the lives of others across the globe.
Matching Modern Scholarship to Students’ Interests
Social Psychology showcases expansive coverage of topics that have grown the most over the past two decades: social cognition, the self, prejudice, and interpersonal relationships.
Recurring "Applications" Feature
Woven into the main chapter narratives, Application discussions help students understand the relevance of social psychology’s insights into human behavior in many domains of life, including politics, law, social justice, health, education, business, art, and fashion.
Features that Link Core Content to Students’ World
- Social Psych at the Movies explores how social psychological principles are reflected in classic and contemporary films.
- Social Psych Out in the World takes a social psychological perspective on significant current and historical issues and events.
- Think About questions are embedded within the text to encourage students to relate topics to their own lives.
LaunchPad

- Intuitive and useful analytics, with a Gradebook that lets you track how students in the class are performing individually and as a whole.
- A streamlined interface that lets you build an entire course in minutes.
Video Activities
Available in LaunchPad, these activities combine videos with multiple choice assessments to help students think critically about key issues. There is at least one video activity per chapter.
Science of Everyday Life Experiments and Activities offer students insights into research in social psychology and how it applies to everyday life. After reading a short introduction, students participate in trials or survey questions related to an actual social psychology experiment or research study.  Students’ results are then compared to the original study. A closing short quiz tests students understanding of the concepts.
LearningCurve
In a game-like format, LearningCurve’s adaptive and formative quizzing provides an effective way to get students involved in the coursework. It offers:
- A unique learning path for each student, with quizzes shaped by each individual’s correct and incorrect answers.

- Over two hundred new references to valuable research published in the last three years
- Enhanced coverage of contemporary controversies shaping the field, including standards of replicability and cross-cultural generalizeability
- Increased coverage of diverse perspectives, social issues, and cultural examples.
- New applications that connect research to the pressing social and political issues that affect students’ lives today, including sexual misconduct, violence in schools, sustainability, and the influence of changing technology on relationships

- The Read & Practice gradebook tracks student performance individually and for the whole class, helping instructors prepare for class and one-on-one discussions.
"In comparing this textbook with several other Introductory Social Psychology textbooks what I like the most about the Greenberg et al. text is that the material seems more up-to-date. The coverage of intergroup biases in this textbook is excellent! By covering Prejudice & Stereotyping in 2 chapters, the authors were able to provide in-depth coverage and describe more complex theorizing and research. The material in these chapters is up-to-date and discussed in a thoughtful and thought-provoking way."

Authors

Jeff Greenberg
Jeff Greenberg is a Professor of Psychology and College of Science Fellow at the University of Arizona. As a small child growing up in the Bronx, he was very curious about the human propensities for vanity and prejudice. Jeff majored in psychology at the University of Pennsylvania, but it wasn’t until his final semester, and his first course in social psychology, that he found a field where people where asking the questions he thought should be asked. Soon after starting a master’s program in social psychology at Southern Methodist University, he knew this was what he wanted to spend his life studying and teaching. After receiving his M.A., Jeff completed his Ph.D. at University of Kansas in 1982 under the mentorship of Jack Brehm. He has since received numerous research and teaching awards. His research has contributed to understanding self-serving biases, how motivation affects cognition, the effects of ethnic slurs, the role of self-awareness in depression, cognitive dissonance, and how concerns about death contribute to prejudice, self-esteem striving, and many other aspects of social behavior. Jeff has also co-authored or co-edited six prior books, including the Handbook of Experimental Existential Psychology and In the Wake of 9/11: The Psychology of Terror.

Toni Schmader
Toni Schmader is a Canada Research Chair in Social Psychology at the University of British Columbia. She received her B.A. from Washington & Jefferson College in Pennsylvania before completing her Ph.D. at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Before moving to Canada in 2009, she taught at the University of Arizona for 10 years. At UBC, she was awarded the Killam Prize for excellence in research, and at the U of A she received the Magellan Prize for excellence in teaching. She is currently a member of the executive committee of the Society for Personality and Social Psychology and an Associate Editor at the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. She was drawn to research in social psychology for its ability to take a systematic empirical approach to examining important social issues and to teaching for the opportunity to share those insights with others. Her research examines how individuals are affected by and cope with tarnished identities and negative stereotypes. She has published work on topics of social identity threat, stigma and identity, stereotyping and prejudice, self-conscious emotion, and gender roles.

Jamie Arndt
Jamie Arndt is the 2012 Frederick A. Middlebush Professor of Psychological Sciences at the University of Missouri (MU). After attending Skidmore College in the eastern United States for his B.A., and the University of Arizona in the west for his Ph.D., he settled in the middle, accepting a position at MU in 1999. During his time at MU he has received the Robert S. Daniel Junior Faculty Teaching Award, the Provost’s Junior Faculty Teaching Award, the International Society for Self and Identity Early Career Award, and the University of Missouri Chancellor’s Award for Outstanding Research and Creative Activity in the Social and Behavioral Sciences. He is a founding member of the Social Personality and Health Network, former Chair of the Society for Personality and Social Psychology Training Committee, and has served on the editorial board of various journals in the field. He has authored or co-authored scholarly works pertaining to the self, existential motivation, psychological defense, and their implications for many topics, most notably health decision making, creativity, and legal judgment.

Mark Landau
Mark J. Landau is an Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of Kansas. Mark received his B.A. from Skidmore College, where he became very interested in the fusion of experimental psychology and existential philosophy. He continued his research and education at the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs, and then the University of Arizona, where he received his Ph.D. in 2007. His research explores how existential motives influence social perceptions and behavior, and how people use conceptual metaphors to construct meaning. He has received a number of awards recognizing his research, including the Theoretical Innovation Prize from the Society for Personality and Social Psychology and the Outstanding Early Career Award from the International Society for Self and Identity. Mark has taught social psychology for over 14 years. He enjoys showing students that research, much like an inspiring novel or movie, affirms our common humanity – reminds us that we are not alone in our strivings, insecurities, and foibles – and thereby sharpens our ethical awareness.
