Krahe, B: The Social Psychology of Aggression

The second edition of The Social Psychology of Aggression offers an illuminating scientific reflection on pressing societal problems. The book is well-balanced because basic research and applied research on social aggression are emphasized equally. It is revealing, fascinating and passionate and represents a significant and unparalleled contribution to the aggression literature. - Hans-Werner Bierhoff, Faculty of Psychology, Ruhr-University Bochum, Germany Krahe has done an excellent job of organizing and explaining current social psychological research on aggression. Her careful examination of factors that influence aggression in a variety of contexts provides a solid introduction to the field. - Jeff Bryson, Department of Psychology, San Diego State University, USA This edition is a wonderful update to the excellent 1st edition.

Anderson, Department of Psychology, Iowa State University, USA Barbara Krahe presents a thorough and engaging overview of the social psychological literature on human aggression... I felt compelled to stop at several points per chapter to take notes and ponder the ideas Dr. Krahe presents. - Kevin M.
