    This special edition of Social Psychology, Twelfth Edition, is tailored to the second-year BA social psychology course of the University of Mumbai.

    Baron/Byrne/Branscombe’s Social Psychology is a classic text that has motivated students to take social psychology out of the classroom and into their lives for over four decades. The twelfth edition retains the hallmark of its own past success: up-to-date coverage of the quickly evolving subject matter written in a lively manner that has been embraced by hundreds of thousands of students around the world. This book continues to balance its coverage of fundamentals with current research.

    Gopa Bhardwaj, Professor of Psychology at the University of Delhi, has added extensive and interesting material relevant for social psychology courses in Indian universities. Thus, this special edition has international standard text that is, moreover, contextualized to the needs of Indian students.
