Features
Trusted author team. Psychology offers the quality of writing and resources that instructors and students can rely on. This quality extends to the supplements and media which are author-driven and integrated with the textbook.
UPDATED "Assess Your Strengths" online activities. Now available with each chapter, the significantly revised Assess Your Strengths activities ask students to apply what they are learning from the text to their own lives and experiences by considering key “strengths.” For each of these activities, the authors start by offering a personalized video introduction, explaining how that strength ties in to the content of the chapter. Next, they ask students to assess themselves on the strength (critical thinking, quality of sleep, self-control, relationship strength, healthy belonging, hope, and more) using scales developed by researchers across psychological science. After showing students their results, the authors offer tips for nurturing that strength in students’ own lives. Finally, students take a quiz to help solidify their learning.
How Would You Know online activities.
These online activities engage students in the scientific process, showing how psychological research begins with a question—and how key decision points can alter the meaning and value of a psychological study. In a fun, interactive environment, students learn about important aspects of research methods and analysis, such as random assignment, validity, and reliability.
New to This Edition
More than 1100 new citations. With so much happening in psychological science, this new edition includes more than 1100 new citations to engage students and give them the most current view of the field.
Because visuals often tell a better story than words, new infographics have been added to each chapter to engage students in thinking critically about key psychological concepts (parenting styles, gender bias, group polarization, therapeutic lifestyle changes, and more).
NEW “Concept Practice” activities. With more than 120 activities covering topics across the full spectrum of introductory psychology, Concept Practice offers an effective interactive way to help students understand basic information about the courses foundational ideas. Each brief activity (only five minutes to complete) addresses one or two concepts, in a consistent format -- review, practice, quiz, and conclusion -- in which each section must be completed before students can move forward.
Reduced length. With more to do in the intro psych course- -and with less time- - the authors have reduced the length of the Twelfth Edition by 50 pages to help you cover as much content as possible.
“I believe that this textbook is one of the finest textbooks that I have used during my 40 years of being a professor.”
James Clopton, Texas Tech University“I have used this book for a number of years and it continues to be a hit with my students.”
Lisa Sinclair, University of Winnipeg [MB, Canada]“I really enjoy this text. I’ve been using it for a few years now, and the best part about it is the incorporation of the SQ3R study method. I also use almost all of the online resources in some capacity. They have a really wide variety compared to many of the textbooks I have reviewed. Good use of images, clearly organized, good humor at times, great retrieval practice.”
Erin Skinner, Langara College [BC, Canada]“I continue to be very pleased with this textbook. With a very illustrative layout, I believe it plays well to the visual learning aspect of this class, and makes it easy for students to remember a page where the info was. It is also written in a fun, easy-to-navigate narrative.”
Donald Rickgauer, California State University, Sacramento
