This and edition by Buunk and Van Vugt is a major contribution to understanding the role of Applied Social Psychology's relevance in dealing with societal problems. It is coherently written and inspiring to students clearly demonstrating the application of psychological theories and knowledge to a variety of everyday problems.

The Second Edition of this best selling textbook continues to offer a simple, systematic, step-by-step guide to doing applied psychology.

Using the authors' own PATH model, the text presents a new methodology for applying primarily social psychological theory to a wide range of social problems.

With real-world case studies, end-of-chapter exercises and interviews with leading social psychologists, Applying Social Psychology helps students to define a problem, conduct a theory-based analysis, develop an explanatory model, set up and execute a research project to test the model, and develop an intervention.

Written in an engaging and accessible way, this textbook offers:

An appendix with examples of PATH model applications.

An extended glossary.

Case studies from organizational, health, and environmental psychology.

Recent applied social psychology research.

More focus on applied evolutionary psychology.

Social network analysis and social media as research tools.

This is a highly practical text, which can be used by introductory and advanced level students who want to learn how to analyze practical problems and develop solutions based upon social psychological theory and research.
