This unit uses a popular textbook by Baumeister and Bushman (2008) which has some useful accompanying electronic resources. The book offers a "self" perspective on "social psychology".

Baumeister, R. F., & Bushman, B. J. (2008). Social psychology and human nature (1st ed.) Belmont, CA: Thomson Wadsworth. More info about how to access (ucspace)
Ideally, a free and open textbook would be used. There is a good start on Wikibooks, but it still needs considerable development.
