E-Resource News: Handbook of Social Psychology
The Handbook of Social Psychology (Fifth Edition), a foundational classic for anyone in the social sciences, is now available online from Penn Libraries E-Resources.
Since the first edition was published in 1935, the Handbook of Social Psychology has
been the standard reference work in the field, offering
historic, integrative, and penetrating surveys of the
topics that constitute the discipline. This two-volume Fifth Edition
reflects the tremendous changes the field has
experienced in the last decade and continues to be an
indispensable
resource for students and scholars alike, with all-new
chapters written by the world’s foremost authorities on
each topic and a list of contributors that reads like an
international Who’s Who in Social Psychology. --Publisher's statement
The work is divided into three sections: Part I: The Science of Social Psychology; Part II: The Social Being; and Part III: The Social World. The Social Being section includes topics like motivation, attitude formation and persuasion, gender issues, social cognitive neuroscience and nonverbal behavior. The Social World section includes social psychology and language, political behavior, inter group relations, conflict, and cultural psychology. That's a very incomplete set of examples--I'm just honing in on some key areas for our field that students starting out, not to mention ones taking comps soon(!), might want to download for their permanent reference
