The book gives a straightforward discussion of the different topics in the field of Social Psychology. It doesn't require any background in other branches of psychology, just a general knowledge of it. Although ideal as a classroom text, there some considerations. Since the book presents a lot of cases and examples for study, the pacing of the student in reading and understanding the book must be put into consideration. If the instructor wishes to cover all the topics with maximum understanding, I recommend that the course be taken for a whole school year or 2 semesters.

Of all the texts I have read during my undergraduate schooling, this one definitely stands out. Myers has an advantage that the material he writes about is inherently interesting, but he peppers his writing with humor, captivating psychological studies, and tons of pictures. This text is enjoyable and easy to read!
