Psychology of Attitudes and Attitude Change

This book explores what attitudes are and how they are shaped, how they influence behaviour, and the scientific methods that are used to understand attitudes and how they change. The fourth edition has been updated to include cutting-edge topics such as attitudes to vaccines, political polarisation, and the effects of social media on attitude change.
