Unlike other texts for undergraduate sociological social psychology courses, this text presents the three distinct traditions (or 'faces') in sociological social psychology (symbolic interactionism, social structure and personality, and group processes and structures) and emphasizes the different theoretical frameworks within which social psychological analyses are conducted within each research tradition. With this approach, the authors make clear the link between 'face' of sociological social psychology, theory, and methodology.Table of Contents: Part I: Theoretical Perspectives and Research Methods in Sociological Social Psychology Chapter 1: What is Sociological Social Psychology?
