The content of Myer's Social Psychology adaptation balances gently between global and classical research, experiments and studies that students need to know (e.g. Stanford Prison Experiment) and local examples that students can relate to and engage with (e.g. Cronulla riots). We have responded to reviewer feedback by providing new content or expanded areas like marriage and prosocial behaviours, and new pedagogy like end of chapter questions and review questions tagged to learning objectives help students to engage in the material from the outset making this text accessible to all levels. Case studies of how social psychology research is undertaken, and 'The Inside Story', where famous researchers highlight the interests and questions that guided their findings, both prepare students to critically evaluate research and science.
