Hi All,
I'd really appreciate some guidance! Can anyone tell me which edition of Aronson's Social Psych text is the best match for EC's Social Psych exam?
I was burned by EC's Ab Psych in that the recommended text edition (Kring 12th ed.) contained updated material that never appeared on my test. The practice exams for Ab Psych used all DSM-IV-TR terms, the Kring text referenced the new DSM-5, and the EC Study Guide mentioned both the DSM-IV-TR and DSM-5 (go figure!)... Confused by the discrepancies, I ended up studying both...I'd like to avoid the same problem with Social Psych and purchase the text that contains the information needed for the actual test!
The EC Study Guide recommends the 8th edition of the Aronson text - if anyone has taken EC's Social Psych exam recently, which edition of Aronson did you find the most useful?
Thanks so much.
