Social Psychology is a new introduction to the field from award-winning teacher-researchers Tom Heinzen and Wind Goodfriend. The authors present social psychology as an evolving, science-driven conversation, with every chapter building on core questions central to scientific inquiry, while a methods-in-context approach cultivates psychological literacy.
The book captures students′ attention by weaving stories drawn from their own personal experiences with compelling examples from everyday life, all carefully placed in historical context. Because understanding application is key, the book concludes with eight mini chapters on topics including behavioural economics, environmental sustainability, law and the courtroom, positive psychology and more. Students will become active participants in the social psychology dialogue, finding their fascination with the field and realizing its significance in their daily lives and future careers.
Dr. Thomas Heinzen, at William Paterson University of New Jersey, is proudest that he has mentored more than 60 student presentations and published research. He has been a keynote speaker at a variety of teaching-related conferences, including NITOP, Rocky Mountain Teaching of Psychology, and the Association for Psychological Science about his book on Clever Hans and facilitated communication. He has been elected as a fellow to the Eastern Psychological Association, to the Association for Psychological Science, and to Division 1 of the American Psychological Association. He has also been an invited speaker at several technology conferences to discuss how to apply principles of game design to social problems such as improving rates of college completion. Students have honored him with a variety of awards that range from being the winning lab in an egg-tossing contest to numerous recognitions from the Psychology Club. Dr. Wind Goodfriend has been named Faculty of the Year three times in her 19 years as a professor at Buena Vista University. This distinction is the result of an all-student vote, and her General Psychology course was chosen as the “Most Recommended” individual class in the entire university by the BVU newspaper. She has also won the Wythe Award, one of the largest collegiate teaching prizes in the nation. She has written over a dozen book chapters about psychology in pop culture, four textbooks for Sage, three Audible audiobooks about psychology, dozens of peer-reviewed journal articles, and has published over 30 journal articles featuring her undergraduate students as the first author. She also wrote and “starred” in a docuseries about the psychology of cult manipulation for The Great Courses. Wind won the 2023 Undergraduate Teaching & Mentoring Award from the Society for Personality and Social Psychology.
