Welcome! This Introductory Material will orient you to the course. Please make sure you read this early on during or before Week 1. You can always return to the Table of Contents page by clicking on the textbook title (Principles of Social Psychology) at the top of the page. Please keep in mind that I am continuing to add to and edit this Open Educational Resource, so chapters later on in the textbook my change or I may change the order. Please see the course schedule for chapter orders and due dates.

As you will quickly see, this textbook is written along a “Heroic Quest” theme. This goes along with the theme for the course this semester which is “Change the World with Social Psychology!” Don’t worry, I won’t do this with all course material – just now and then to keep things interesting.
