This book was written in the hope of acquainting students with the expansive field of social psychology and all it encompasses. A major challenge, when introducing social psychology, is to try to convey a sense of where this discipline fits within other, closely related social sciences, such as sociology, psychology, anthropology and philosophy. Throughout the book, it is tried to present social psychology theories within the context of the ‘real world’. In every case, after presenting an explanation of social psychology theories, examples are used to enable students to assess the degrees to which these theories are applicable, or non-applicable, to the social problems we face today.
