Preface

This is the ninth edition of Social Psychology . The original idea to write a European social psychology text was born in Oxford in 1992 from meetings with Farrell Burnett, who was then psychology editor at Harvester Wheatsheaf. We decided to write the text because we felt there was a need for a comprehensive social psychology text written specifically for university students in Britain and continental Europe. Such a text, we felt, should approach social psychology from a broadly European, rather than American, perspective not only in terms of topics, orientation and research interests but also in terms of the style and level of presentation of social psychology and the cultural context of the readership. However, a European text cannot ignore or gloss over American social psychology so, unlike other European texts, we located mainstream American social psychology within the framework of the text, covered it in detail and integrated it fully with European work. We intended this to be a self-contained and comprehensive coverage of social psychology. You would not need to switch between American and European texts to understand social psychology as a truly international scientific enterprise an enterprise in which European research has a significant and well-established profile. The first edition was published in 1995 and was widely adopted throughout Europe.

Subsequent editions followed fast upon earlier editions no sooner did one edition appear than, it seemed, we were hard at work preparing the next. The second edition was written while Graham Vaughan was a visiting Fellow of Churchill College at Cambridge University and Michael Hogg was a visiting Professor at Princeton University. It was published early in 1998 and launched at the 1998 conference of the Social Section of the British Psychological Society at the University of Kent. It was a relatively modest revision aimed primarily at improving layout and presentation, though the text and coverage were updated, and we raised the profile of some applied topics in social psychology.
