""This is an excellent textbook that should be compulsory reading
for any undergraduate student of Social Psychology. Wendy Stainton
Rogers has done a remarkable job of synthesising theories within
these broad approaches. She has used her vast experience in
distance learning to write a book that draws students in and has
them reading, simply because the material is so very interesting.
Although Stainton Rogers outlines the British Psychological
Society's requirements for an undergraduate course in Social
Psychology at the beginning of the book, this textbook is relevant
far beyond the context of the United Kingdom."
Catriona Macleod, Professor of Psychology, Rhodes University,
