One of the most well-written resources available to students is offered by Saul Kassin, Steven Fein, and Hazel Rose Markus in their textbook Social Psychology (Available Titles Cengagenow), ISBN 9780495812401. With a strong focus on current events, solid coverage of diversity, as well as intriguing connections made between social psychology and the daily lives of students, this text is hailed as the most authoritative in its field. Both traditional and modern research are coupled to offer all-inclusive discussions of social cognition as well as evolutionary psychology and the interconnection between social psychology and the law. The leading expert behind the genius of Social Psychology (Available Titles Cengagenow) is that of Saul Kassin. Receiving his Ph.D. in personality and social psychology from the University of Connecticut, he currently serves as Professor of Psychology at Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts.

He is also a well-recognized writer, authoring Psychology (fourth edition) and coauthoring or editing a number of scholarly books, including Developmental Social Psychology, The Psychology of Evidence and Trial Procedure, and The American Jury on Trial. Saul Kassin, Steven Fein, and Hazel Rose Markus organize the concepts of this textbook across five sections and 14 chapters. Sections in this book are devoted to information revolving around defining social psychology, social perception, social influence, social relations, and finally, applying social psychology.
