Not much changes between the two editions, save money and go for less weight by trying to find a 6th edition paperbac softcover version same material for you to follow along with.By MidnightDealsNY
Pros: This book comes with everything you might expect - a cover, and some pages inside.By Nom de Plume
Cons: This book feels like it is distributed with a younger student population in mind - middle or high school. Frequent references are made to pop culture (eg. Twilight), which are then related to Social Psychology in a manner which any film or english undergrad (or anyone with the ability to think, or even breathe critically) would find appalling.
Additionally, grammatical and syntax mistakes make reading this hilarious, sad, and difficult (almost always in that order).
Other Comments: After making it through 80 pages, I do not trust the book's authority, because of the sloppy editing and poor content choices, which is a shame, as it is a fairly pricy text from a large publishing house (Pearson).
Perhaps a newer edition has corrected these shortcomings. If so, consider buying that edition instead.
