   978-0367523916This engaging and leading-edge text provides an accessible introduction to the intricate concepts and principles of social neuroscience, with examples from contemporary research and a combination of diverse pedagogical features helping students to engage with the material, including essay questions, summary and key points, further reading suggestions, and links to online resources.

   Social neuroscience is a rapidly growing field which explains, using neural mechanisms, our capacity to recognize, understand, and interact with others. Concepts such as trust, revenge, empathy, prejudice, and identity are now being explored and unraveled by neuroscientists. The third edition of this groundbreaking text has been thoroughly revised and expanded to reflect the increasing volume of evidence and theories in the field. Notable additions include a greater emphasis on genetic influences, hormonal influences, and more detail on methods such as fNIRS, multivariate pattern analysis, and heart-based psychophysiological measures. This edition also provides new material on gender identity and sexuality, constructivist theories of emotion, compassion versus empathy, the dark triad, and altruistic punishment. The book is supported by a fully updated companion website, featuring student resources including lecture recordings, multiple choice questions, and useful web links, as well as PowerPoint slides for teachers.

   Richly illustrated in attractive full-color, with figures, boxes, and ‘real-world’ implications of research, this text is the ideal introduction to the field for both undergraduate and postgraduate students in fields such as psychology and neuroscience.
