This comprehensive Handbook showcases the breadth and depth of research developments at the forefront of experimental social psychology. Contributions from leading social psychologists examine a range of approaches to understanding the dynamics between humans and their environments, answering fundamental questions about how humans perceive themselves, others, and society.

The Handbook builds on canonical topics in experimental social psychology to provide new insights into a wide variety of research areas, delving into human attitudes and motivations, inter- and intrapersonal processes, and intergroup conflicts. Chapters draw on key aspects of human behaviour including nonverbal communication, experiences of authenticity, and perceptions of race and gender to elucidate the exciting potential for innovation in the field. Expert authors also emphasize the interdisciplinary nature of the subject, exploring the implications of social psychology for politics, law, and societal change.

Providing an enlightening overview of the field, the Handbook of Experimental Social Psychology is an essential read for students and academics in psychology, political science, and sociology. It will also benefit practitioners, educators, and other professionals looking to gain a deeper insight into social psychology.
