Books like Social Psychology

I wish this kind of intelligent, wide-ranging (800pp) and eye-opening textbook had been around when I was studying business some 35 years ago. I would have devoted more time since then to following the developments of psychology, instead of just deducting from the ineptitude of what was taught to us that it was all just a waste of time. But then, I suppose psychology has changed a lot since 1980, with charlatanistic mumbo-jumbo being gradually replaced with a corpus of \ nearly\ scientific results. Anyway, it is a pleasure to catch up in this opus. The main fault of this book is that it seems to consider nearly all published psychology results as trustworthy, although psychological research is notoriously oversold [see: Fanelli & Ioannidis - US studies may overestimate effect sizes in softer research - PNAS, August 2013 ] and mostly based on experiments on small, non-significative numbers of a population itself non-significative, US undergraduates... [see: Henrich, Heine & Norenzayan - The Weirdest people in the world? - 2009] What this book thus lacks, and needs, is a rigorous screening between what is well established and what is not.
