"It bodes well for the teaching and giving away of psychology that so many respected researchers are able and willing to write well and simplify without oversimplifying their findings. ... The contributors represent an unusual breadth of disciplines and academic rank, yet, while preserving their own style of writing, they present important material in a provocative, engaging, and interesting fashion. The scholarship behind the writing and the findings is incontrovertible.
While some of the psychological aspects were suitable for my course objectives - it is a communication course, not a psychology course, so a lot of it focused too much on the psych for my purposes. However, incredibly well written and insightful!
The book may be used for teachers / instructors on developing themselves and bring onwards a shorter version to the students.
This book really supported my understanding in a fascinating area. The aspects that focus on attitudes really aided my knowledge for a non-specialist in psychology field.
Covers most of the topics I am interested to address in my class, and written in a way appropriate for undergraduates
Well constructed and structured, Illustrations/examples provided are sufficient. Good balance btw scientific research and down-to-earth elements, a pre-requisite for French Business School students. Should definitly be considered for an "introduction" course
