Social Psychology

The textbook Social Psychology, 11th Edition, authored by Saul Kassin, Steven Fein, and Hazel Rose Markus and published by Cengage Learning, provides students and educators with a comprehensive academic resource for studying human social dynamics. Across 816 pages, this primary textbook establishes core scientific frameworks to analyze how individuals think about, influence, and relate to one another within modern social structures.

The volume focuses heavily on social cognition, examining the psychological processes involved when individuals process, store, and apply information about other people. In addition to these core cognitive mechanisms, the textbook details specialized applications in three distinct practical areas: legal systems, business environments, and personal health and well-being.

By pairing fundamental cognitive models with distinct professional application sectors, the publication provides postsecondary educators and undergraduate students with a thorough grounding in empirical research. This structured balance supports effective teaching and learning across formal academic coursework in psychological science.
