Features
Organized to the Fall 2019 AP® Course Framework. This updated edition includes 100% of the new
course content in the new nine-unit structure. Supplements are being reorganized too.
Modular Approach: This book is organized by units and modules for easier assignability and readability. Units are divided into 3 to 10 modules each. Each module breaks the course material into a pedagogically appropriate “chunk” that is designed to be presented in one or two class periods, with additional class periods for activities, demonstrations, and reinforcement, as needed.
Learning Targets: The numbering system of the learning objectives is key to the organization of the text. The Learning Targets appear in statement form at the beginning of each module to help orient you to the material you are about to read. These clear and measurable Learning Targets provide you with a snapshot preview of the section material, while allowing you to “check off” each objective as you master it. The objectives are repeated in an engaging question form in context within the module, and then used at the end of each module for review.
Check Your Understanding features, found at the end of major sections of text, include Ask Yourself questions, which encourage students to apply new concepts to their own experiences, as well as Test Yourself questions (with answers in Appendix E) that assess mastery and encourage big-picture thinking.
Module Reviews repeat the numbered objective questions (Learning Targets) and address them with a bulleted summary. Unit Review Sections include page-referenced Terms and Concepts to Remember as well as a list of Key Contributors discussed in the unit.
A full-length AP®-style practice exam is included at the end of the text to ensure your students have nailed down the content and are ready to tackle the exam in May.
A Key Contributors list appears at the end of each unit to highlight the influential figures in psychology your students should know.
Margin Features:
- AP Exam Tips: Offer invaluable advice upon which concepts to focus and how to avoid common pitfalls so students can be successful in the course and on the exam.
- Try This boxes help students connect more deeply with the concepts they’re learning by putting concepts into real-life practice.
- FYI boxes are interesting tidbits of information that help connect the content your students are reading with real-life examples and research studies.
- Margin Glossary provides a highlight of the vocabulary students need to realize success on the AP® exam.
New to This Edition
- Organized to the Fall 2019 AP® Course Framework: This updated edition includes 100% of the new course content in the new nine-unit structure. Supplements are being reorganized too.
- Thinking Critically Infographics: Formerly boxed features in previous editions, these new infographics provide a description through images. The infographics will sharpen students’ analytical skills by modeling a critical thinking approach to key issues and current topics in psychology.
- "Close-Up" Boxes: These concepts can now be found in the text narrative and tables.
- New/Updated Review Questions: This edition boasts more than 100 new multiple-choice questions and approximately 40 new FRQs—all other questions have been revised/updated.
- New/Revised AP® Exam Tips
- LearningCurve: Teachers love LearningCurve, so we’ve added more questions to make sure each module has a good amount of questions and reorganizing so that each Module is its own “topic”.
- All New Lecture Presentation Slides
- Design: A new, more efficient design reduces the length of the text and emphasized important features on each page.

His research and writings have been recognized by the Gordon Allport Intergroup Relations Prize, by a 2010 Honored Scientist award from the Federation of Associations in Behavioral & Brain Sciences, by a 2010 Award for Service on Behalf of Personality and Social Psychology, by a 2013 Presidential Citation from APA Division 2, by his 2015 election as an American Association for the Advancement of Science Fellow, and by three dozen honorary doctorates.
With support from National Science Foundation grants, Myers' scientific articles have appeared in three dozen scientific periodicals, including Science, American Scientist, Psychological Science, and the American Psychologist. In addition to his scholarly writing and his textbooks for introductory and social psychology, he also digests psychological science for the general public. His writings have appeared in four dozen magazines, from Today's Education to Scientific American. He also has authored five general audience books, including The Pursuit of Happiness and Intuition: Its Powers and Perils.
David Myers has chaired his city's Human Relations Commission, helped found a thriving assistance center for families in poverty, and spoken to hundreds of college, community, and professional groups worldwide. Drawing on his experience, he also has written articles and a book (A Quiet World) about hearing loss, and he is advocating a transformation in American assistive listening technology (see www.hearingloop.org). For his leadership, he received an American Academy of Audiology Presidential Award in 2011, and the Hearing Loss Association of America Walter T. Ridder Award in 2012.
He bikes to work year-round and plays daily pick-up basketball. David and Carol Myers have raised two sons and a daughter, and have one granddaughter.
