Produktbeschreibung

This book puts the 'social' back into social psychology and offers a more integrated way of thinking about and researching people and intervening to change what people do. It is part of a trilogy that offers a new way of doing psychology focusing on people's social environments as determining their behaviour, rather than internal attributions.
