Along the way, students are introduced to the practice of social influence in an array of contexts (e.g., advertising, marketing, politics, interpersonal relationships, social media, groups) and across a variety of topics (e.g., credibility, personality, deception, motivational appeals, visual persuasion). The new edition features cutting-edge material on artificial intelligence, deepfakes, influencers, misinformation, disinformation, malinformation, and political polarization. It also features a wealth of practical, real-life examples of the concepts presented, including intercultural applications.
