Michael Argyle's The Psychology of Interpersonal Behaviour presents a rigorous and illuminating scientific account of the forces that shape every conversation, glance, and social encounter we have. Drawing on experimental psychology, sociology, and ethology, Argyle chronicles the mechanics of social interaction — from the subtleties of non-verbal communication and bodily contact to the complex rules that govern friendship, intimacy, and group dynamics. Written with clarity and authority, this landmark Pelican Original makes demanding psychological science accessible without sacrificing intellectual depth, cementing its place as a foundational text in social psychology.\n\nArgyle argues that social behaviour is a skill — one that can be understood, analysed, and ultimately improved — a proposition that carries profound implications for education, therapy, and everyday life. His methodology is empirical and precise, yet the writing retains a compelling readability that draws in both the specialist and the curious general reader. Themes of power, perception, and the unspoken language of human connection run throughout, challenging the reader to reconsider every interaction they have ever taken for granted. For anyone who has ever wondered what is really happening beneath the surface of human contact, this book offers answers that are as unsettling as they are revelatory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49269346926811,"sku":"2026200016956-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/8cee6549-39db-4b01-b4cd-cf0bd850df93.png?v=1788999014","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200016956-secondhand-the-psychology-of-interpersonal-behaviour","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
