The Social Psychology of Aggression

"""I have been studying the origins of aggressive behavior for several decades and am so pleased to see this book available as a resource to scholars, students, and families. It is so well researched and hits on the topics most important to our society. The author is at the top of her field and it truly shows in this text. A definite must read for anyone interested in understanding and preventing aggressive behavior."" - Professor Sarah M. Coyne, Brigham Young University, U.S. ""Professor Krahé has done it again! This third edition of The Social Psychology of Aggression captures the latest advances in our understanding of human aggression, and integrates these advances with knowledge from decades past. It is very well-organized and well-written, and therefore easy to understand. Students of human aggression and violence—from undergraduates to Ph.D. professionals—will find it invaluable as a resource and a joy to read."" - Distinguished Professor Craig A. Anderson, Iowa State University, U.S. ""The third edition builds upon two previous excellent surveys of social psychological research on aggression, and its applications to the real-life problems that human aggression causes. As before, the strengths are Barbara Krahé’s clear exposition of her broad and detailed knowledge of the academic research, and how it can generate solutions to real-world problems."" – Emeritus Professor John Archer, University of Central Lancashire, U.K."
