  Wouldn't normally add a textbook to this, but considering I've officially read the whole thing this semester I think it should count toward my reading goal.

  David Myers manages to successfully summarize major social psychological theories within a real world and applied framework. His writing style (not just written for academics), examples, and discussions of central topics make social psychology accessible to a broad audience which is something the field needs. He also summarizes scientific results and applies ideas from outside an American context, which I find useful. In addition, I particularly like the final chapter. The topic of sustainability is crucial in our world but so often ignored.

  Out of all the college psychology classes I have had the privilege of taking, Social Psych was probably my favorite. This was our assigned text and I read the whole book in a fairly short time. Myers held my attention and even had me laughing at times. Recommended for those interested in psychology!

  I actually did read everything in this textbook for my Psych Intro class...So figuring out at least I should put it to my bookself keke. I like this book though, well organized, easy to understand, covering a wide range of topics in psychology field. This class eventually builds my interest in psychology.

  For psych textbook this was clear, humourous and attention keeping. It's definitely one of the better textbooks I've had for a psych course, but then again social behaviour is infinitely more interesting than some very medical type textbooks. The biggest problem with it, is that it's riddled with pop culture references that will be old in no time so it'll need a lot of upgrading.

  This was a fun read. The language of the book was very easy to grab, and the writing did kept me interested enough to want to keep reading. The material was light and very easy to understand with the short modules. I learned a lot of social psychological data that I had not previously thought about, so for me this book was very informal.

  I read this as part of a Coursera course on Social Psychology because I run into terms in Organizational Development and Coaching that use social psychology terminology. Good approachable text. Version I read on-line was actually newer, but I own the 2000 edition, and find it is very similar with a few updates for 9/11 and the like.

  Although I wasn't too sure how I felt about social psychology at first, by the end of the book, I could truly appreciate and understand all of the minor aspects that went into the field of social psychology.

  I wish I had had more textbooks like this in undergrad. A bit on the basic side for grad classes though. I'd give it to my future students in a heart beat!

  Normally I wouldn't add a textbook to my reading list but this was excellent. A helpful introduction to social psychology with a grasp of current cultural trends and witty underpinnings.
