"It might be surprising that I gave this book 3 stars, considering the lone 1 star and deep criticisms I gave to the book it supplements: The Social Animal, Ninth Edition by the same author, Elliot Aronson. However, it is important to compare the purposes of each book.
The Social Animal (TSA) is meant to be a primary text on the subject of social psychology and in that it is utterly inadequate. Readings about the Social Animal (RATSA) is meant to be a collection of key research studies in the field of social psychology that exemplify the terms and theories and it is successful in its goal.
Aronson compiled a truly enlightening set of cases. The cases themselves are so interesting, in fact, that they are great to read without the main text (TSA). However, I cannot give this book more than 3 stars because: A) This book is certainly not enough to compensate for all of TSA's shortcomings. My social psychology professor took the initiative to define all the terms that the main book did not. B) While Aronson compiled the research papers included in this book, the papers are ultimately the work of other researchers. One could not give credit for songs to a DJ who just plays them in an appealing order; accordingly, giving any more stars would unduly credit Aronson for the works of innovators who produced the studies. C) This book is not as helpful to readers who do not know how to read research papers so its usefulness is limited by how much the reader already brings to the table."
"A collection of articles on the most influential social psych experiments of the postwar era. These are journal articles, so they aren't exactly enjoyable to read."
