Biographical note
Paul Dickerson is Associate Professor at the University of Roehampton where he has taught for more than 25 years. His research has predominantly adopted a qualitative approach and has largely focused on issues of talk and interaction. He has previously written How to Write Brilliant Psychology Essays also published by Sage. Paul has written Social Psychology 2e to enable you to immerse yourself in the exciting world of social psychology, to see its relevance in everyday life - as well as to support you in questioning its findings.I welcome this new edition of Paul Dickerson’s Social Psychology. I particularly appreciate the coverage of contemporary issues and debates such as critical race theory, and the inclusion of a wide range of research from outside the Western world. The critical reviews of topics are excellent for enriching students’ understandings, and it’s great to see coverage of communication and interaction in a Social Psychology textbook. I’ll be recommending this book to my students.

Compares and contrasts different theoretical frameworks, it tackles the question of what it means to be critical from a decolonial and discursive perspective, the opening cases are wonderful, it draws the latest developments in technology and tries to unpack its intersections and implications for social psychology.
- Stavroula Tsirogianni, Market development team
This is a comprehensive and engaging textbook that I would recommend to other psychology students. It covers a wide range of subjects and is easy to navigate, making it ideal for writing essays. The book provides thorough explanations of psychological concepts and current case studies have been smartly interwoven throughout. The reflective questions are great to enhance your memory and the chapter summaries and recaps are extremely helpful.
