European Studies in Social Psychology


About the Series

The European Studies in Social Psychology series is published in conjunction with the European Association of Social Psychology to support authored books for advanced students covering social topics that promote a European intellectual perspective to the rest of the world. The aim of this series is to publish and promote the highest quality of writing in European social psychology, and provide an outlet for new research in the field. At a time when cultural and political frontiers in Europe are being redrawn, there could hardly be a more appropriate time to promote a distinctively European intellectual perspective to the rest of the world. The editor and the editorial board encourage publications which approach social psychology from a wide range of theoretical perspectives and whose content may be applied, theoretical or empirical.
