In order to make it easier for readers to carry and read, while retaining the advantages of modular writing, we have divided the original book with more than 500 pages into three small books according to the three themes mentioned above in the new edition.

Who I Am: Psychology Empirical Research on Social Thinking, from Exploring Social Psychology, Part I "Introduction to Social Psychology" and Part II "Social Thinking", discusses how we view ourselves and others, involving self-concept, self-esteem, self-control, self service bias, social beliefs and judgments, and the interaction between attitudes and behaviors.
