Books by Paul Dickerson

Drawing on insights derived from teaching thousands of students over a 25 year period this book teaches students how to write effective and compelling academic essays.

Social Psychology: Traditional and Critical Perspectives addresses the key issues in social psychology such as prejudice, aggression, conformity, persuasion, attraction, relationships and prosocial behaviour in a bold and innovative way. As well as providing detailed coverage of classic and contemporary mainstream research, this book engages with critical literature bringing to the textbook the sort of debates that can be found in social psychology conferences, journals and specialist texts. In addition, the book goes beyond simply describing research findings it critically evaluates the research it covers, supporting your own critical engagement with the literature.
