Reviews

`Review from previous edition The Social Net examines the social psychology of the Internet. With chapters from leading internationally renowned experts, it tackles both the positive and negative aspects of our Internet behaviour. With chapters on persuasion and compliance, personality, prejudice, on-line relationships, and human inhibitions, it presents a fascinating expose of online behaviour. The book will be valuable for psychologists and anyone who wants to better understand how they can exploit the full potential of the Internet.' Fast Company Magazine

The new edition presents a wide range of articles by distinguished scholars. Each article examines the relationship of individual personalities with other individuals and groups in different contexts. The common thread of each article is the impact of the internet on each context and their participants. The interaction between individuals and groups as well as the dissemination of information is accelerating geometrically. This book provides a snapshot of the positive and negative aspects of our present circumstance and an idea of our future in the contexts of leadership, persuasion, romance, and decision making as impacted by the internet. This book is unique in that it provides you an opportunity to remain abreast with our rapidly evolving lives. Amazon Customer Reviews, March 2013
