Michael Argyle's landmark work, The Psychology of Interpersonal Behaviour, argues that human social conduct is far from random — it is a richly structured system of signals, learned skills, and unconscious rules that can be studied, understood, and mastered. Drawing on experimental social psychology, the book systematically presents the mechanics of face-to-face interaction, covering verbal and non-verbal communication, eye contact, gesture, personal space, and the subtle choreography of conversation that most people perform without a second thought.\n\nArgyle writes with the clarity and authority of a pioneer, transforming complex academic research into an accessible and intellectually stimulating account of why people behave as they do in social situations. Originally published as a Pelican Original, this text became a foundational reference in British social psychology, influencing generations of researchers, therapists, and educators. Argyle's systematic, empirical approach challenges readers to look beyond intuition and examine the hidden architecture of their own social world — leaving one to wonder just how much of what we call personality is simply a set of skills waiting to be refined.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49269346959579,"sku":"2026200016955-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/073f436d-6022-4dfb-9ef4-4de8bf9671fb.png?v=1788999017","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200016955-secondhand-the-psychology-of-interpersonal-behaviour","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
