Elliot Aronson, Timothy D. Wilson and Robin M. Akert, Social Psychology,
Longman, NY, 1999
Social psychology is stuffed full of serious research that is really useful
in persuasion. There are loads of books called 'Social Psychology',
(most of which are undergraduate texts). This is one of the better ones.
Aronson, who studied under Festinger, is a big name in the field.
