Reviews / Votes
"Chin and Jacobson were successful in pulling together articles that help to show both the symbolic interactionist and the social structural "faces" of social psychology. From articles on theory and methods, to applications of theories to real-life experiences, students will benefit from reading this text."Tricia M. Davis
