Top Trumps: Social Psychology adopts this winning formula to create a whole new way of learning about this fascinating field of study. 

Each card provides a short description of a core theory or concept along with a QR code that will link you to a more detailed description, relevant references and other resources. On each card there are indicative ratings on five categories that can be used to compare and contrast the theory or concept: Area, Publication Year, Scientific Impact, Multidisciplinary Reach, and Practical Application. As well as being the basis for playing Top Trumps, these categories  will help you understand key aspects within social psychology, and in particular how to compare and contrast the different  theories and concepts. 

It's important to note the ratings are purposefully not definitive. While they may approximate a view of how different concepts and theories relate to each other, they are intended as a starting point for discussion and debate – the hallmarks of academic discourse!
