Handbook of Social Psychology

This thought-provoking Handbook presents an overview of social psychology as a sub-discipline of sociology and psychology. Chapters analyse how social interactions and environments influence human behaviours and emotions, providing critical insights into identity theory, group processes, social structures, and the sociology of emotions. The Handbook of Social Psychology explores the overlap of sociological social psychology with other fields of study, such as sports, education, religion and neuropsychology. Contributing authors assess micro and macro-level processes involved in human interactions, debating the value of both quantitative and qualitative data in producing results that balance both depth and ease of analysis. Examining theoretical and methodological approaches, they address the current state of scholarship and identify potential areas for future investigation. This Handbook is essential reading for academics and researchers in sociology, psychology and communication studies, as well as those in management and political science. Professionals in the field will also benefit from its in-depth insights.
