Areas covered include: the self; attributions; social cognition; interpersonal attraction; social influence; attitudes and persuasion; prosocial behaviour; aggression; groups; leadership; group decision making; intergroup behaviour; and prejudice. A final chapter looks at how social psychology can, and has been, applied in the real world to make a difference.''Teach Yourself'' titles employ the ''Breakthrough method'', which is designed specifically to overcome problems that students face. - Problem: "I find it difficult to remember what I''ve read."; Solution:
