About the Book
A unique integrated approach to social behavior, REVEL for Social Psychology: Goals in Interaction, Sixth Edition invites readers to consider the interplay of influences both within and outside the person in social situations. Organized around two broad questions - "What purposes does this behavior serve for an individual?" and "Which factors lead an individual to use this behavior to achieve those goals?" - each chapter prompts students to consider personal and situational factors, as well as the interactions among these factors, when analyzing human behavior.
