I am taking an online course for school and have to do all the work myself. My teacher does not give me any notes and I simply take tests when I am ready to. Social Psychology by David Myers is an interesting and easily understandable book on Social Psychology. It give you clear and simple definitions when referring to vocabulary words and other important material. It is an easy read and has some really interesting facts about the ever-changing psychology world. Looking at how social situations can change people behaviors is fascinating and I have enjoyed the read. Taking a course online is harder than I thought and having to read the textbook and retain information, outside a class, has been challenging. I do think that this book has made the process easier and it definitely a good book for anyone wanting to learn a little more about social behavior whether they have taken a psychology class or not.Read full review
The book is really expensive because Meyers re-writes it nearly every year. Best to get it on ebay. The text is cumbersome to read because all the studies are cited in text, otherwise pretty standard format. Although I applode Meyers' tackling the global sustainability, Chapter 16, (Sustainability) is already out of date - Peak Oil is already here - Meyers' optimistic thinking will not help; drastic lifestyle changes will. Good info on the website, especially the tests, my teacher takes a lot of questions from there.
Just as expected and got it within hours. Worth it!

had to buy this book for school, worked out well for the class. very informational and will be able to refer back to this book during my quest for my BA in psychology. Found it easy to follow and easy to understand concepts and theories.
I had to get this book because I am taking the class at FSU and so far the book is great. Buying books on ebay has saved me and my husband so much money! This book is going to help me pass this class for sure because the tests are open book. So if I didn't have the book it would be a lot more work for me!
