Ernst Schraube is Associate Professor of Social Psychology of Technology in Everyday Life in the Department of Psychology and Educational Studies at Roskilde University in Denmark.

This original and innovative volume offers a basic introduction to the psychological study of the conduct of everyday life in contemporary society. It moves psychological theory and research practice out of the laboratory and into the real world, focusing on the question of how human beings live their everyday life as active subjects and using this as a basis for understanding the dilemmas and contradictions we are confronted with in our lives.
