Features

Continuing traditions:
Trusted author team

Psychology, Thirteenth Edition offers the quality of writing and resources that you and your students can rely on. This quality extends to the student media and instructor resources which are author-driven and integrated with the textbook.  Both David Myers and Nathan DeWall bring their teaching and research experience into every page of the text and also into the activities in LaunchPad’s course management system. 

A focus on teaching critical thinking.
Throughout the text, the authors help students think critically. By examining sources and evidence, students can apply psychology’s concepts to their own lives and to their studies—using evidence-based principles to boost their relationships, academic success, stress-management, and so much more.

LaunchPad
Help students get better results.

Built around the most common issues faced in the classroom, LaunchPad gives students a complete e-book with all interactive features including LearningCurve adaptive quizzing. For instructors, LaunchPad offers everything they need to quickly set up a course, customize a syllabus, create presentations and lectures, assign and assess activities, and guide the progress of individual students and the class as a whole.

New to this edition:
2100 citations, dated 2015-2020.   This edition presents the field of psychology in its current state, including each sub-discipline’s latest research insights  The authors want students to walk away with the most accurate, current understandings of psychology to apply in their own lives and work. The end-of-book References section (fully updated for the APA’s new 7th Edition Publication Manual)  highlights these recent citations in blue. 

Heavily revised coverage of gender identity and sexual orientation. The authors have worked to be appropriately inclusive and fully up-to-date in their presentation of gender and sexual identity, representing the abundance of current research in this area, but also encompassing the lived experiences of many people, which may not yet be well represented in the literature.

Coordination with APA’s 2020 Introductory Psychology Initiative (IPI).
Psychology, 13th Edition and its resources are a perfect match for those interested in following these new guidelines, with full text coverage of required content and abundant student and classroom activities and assessment opportunities.

“Thinking Critically About…” Infographic Activities.  All of these infographics in the text have been revised and updated for the new edition, with two entirely new pieces on “Sexual Aggression” (Module 12) and “How to Be Persuasive” (Module 40)  They are also now accompanied by new corresponding activities in LaunchPad.

Ask Yourself Questions.  New “Ask Yourself” questions appear periodically throughout each module to help students apply what they are learning to their own lives.  This helps make the material more meaningful, and memorable.

New Student Preface, “How to Use Psychology to Live Your Best Life.”  This student preface includes a discussion of “Thinking Critically and Scientifically.”

“The Story of Psychology: A Timeline”.  This timeline is now illustrated and  has been revised to  include the many diverse contributions to psychology’s history.

New research and research design-oriented iClicker questions. We have new iClicker questions for each group of modules that help engage students on research topics, such as designing an effective study, considering the component parts of key research that’s presented in the text, and weighing the implications of research results.
