This text introduces students to the story of social psychology in an engaging, narrative style. It integrates applications, a global perspective, strong historical coverage, and current research in the discipline. Its three unifying themes (spontaneous vs. controlled reactions, personal vs. social identity, and the goals of "wanting to be liked" vs. "wanting to be right") help students link the various aspects of social psychology.
