Contents[edit]

Oct 12, 2018  In The Social Animal, author Elliot Aronson provides an overview of social psychology. Aronson has made it his life work to constantly update the book as new research improved on our understanding of social psychology, so “The Social Animal” remains until today one of the best psychology textbooks available.

Aronson begins the book by citing a number of scenarios, real and constructed — reactions to the Kent State shootings, the Stanford prison experiments, and a four-year-old boy given a drum set among them — that illustrate a variety of human behaviors seen in real life. The rest of the book is spent primarily on explaining how human minds operate and interact with each other, using these situations as examples. The book covering topics include the causes of prejudice, aggression, and cognitive dissonance.

In explaining the reasons why people behave in unusual ways, Aronson cites his 'first law':

People who do crazy things are not necessarily crazy.

Style and use of experimental method[edit]

As a scientist, Aronson leans on the importance of case work and experimental study. Thus, the Social Animal's explanations of human behavior are largely validated with citations of studies done by researchers of social psychology. Throughout the book, Aronson relies on the use of controlled experiments to validate empirical observation.
