Description:... This synthesis of the central themes of social psychology and personality theory covers the central topics of social psychology and shows how they and their messages inform the study of any topic having to do with social behaviour. Ross and Nisbett cover the latest research on individual difference in social behaviour and relate it to the everyday experience of predictability concerning the behaviour of others. The text relates questions of personality psychology to questions of social psychology, and focuses on questions which the authors consider to be outside the mainstream of social psychology.
