Psychology

For introductory psychology courses at two- and four-year colleges and universities.

LILIENFELD provides the framework for students to go from inquiry to understanding.

This framework includes:

The Six Flags of Scientific Thinking.

1. Extraordinary Claims tells us that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
   For Example: The claim that a monster, like Bigfoot, has been living in the American Northwest for decades without being discovered by researchers requires more rigorous evidence.
2. Falsifiability.  For a claim to be meaningful, it must in principle be falsifiable, that is, capable of being disproven.
   For Example: The claim that "all human beings have invisible souls" isn't necessarily wrong but it is unfalsifiable because no evidence could conceivably disprove it.
3. Occam’s Razor (Also called the “principle of parsimony”).  If two explanations for a phenomenon are equally good, we should generally select the simpler one.
   For Example: If a person with poor vision spots a flying saucer during a Frisbee tournament on a foggy day, it's more likely that his UFO report is due to a simpler explanation--mistaking a frisbee for a UFO.
4. Replicability.  When evaluating a psychological claim, ask yourself whether the findings that support this claim have been replicated by independent investigators.
   For Example: If a researcher finds that people who practice meditation score 50 points higher on an IQ test than people who don't, but no one else can duplicate the finding, we should be skeptical of it. 
5. Ruling Out Rival Hypotheses. Whenever you evaluate a psychological claim, ask yourself whether alternative explanations for this claim have been excluded, or whether the claim could be explained in other ways.
   For Example: If an investigator finds that depressed people who receive a new medication improve more than equally depressed people who receive nothing, this difference may be due to the people who received the medication expected to improve.
6. Correlation vs. Causation.  A correlation between two things doesn’t prove a causal connection between them. 
   For Example: The finding that people eat more ice cream on days when many crimes are committed doesn't mean eating ice cream causes crime.

Think Again: A unique 4-page interactive end-of-chapter review system ensures that students have mastered chapter content. Organized around the key sections of the chapters, the Think Again sections offer:

• Visual questions and short answer questions that allow students to test their knowledge of the material
• A MyPsychLab question that guides students to exciting multimedia material on MyPsychLab which builds upon what they've read in the chapter
• Learning Objectives, reviewed with a bulleted summary
• Key pieces of art and essential graphs
• A summary table of the Six Flags of Scientific Thinking found within that chapter
• Key terms

Apply Your Thinking questions, embedded in the text, are critical thinking questions which are designed to enhance the processing of text material and facilitate class discussion.

Think…Think Again!  Each chapter begins with a set of questions designed to tap into students' intuitive conceptions--and misconceptions--regarding the subject matter. 

Assess Your Knowledge: Fact or Fiction? self-tests close each major section with a series of true-or-false statements (answers provided) to enable students to check their understanding before moving onto the next section. This review of selected material is designed to reinforce concept comprehension and advance their ability to distinguish psychological fact from fiction.

Psychomythology boxes present students with common psychological misconceptions from everyday life. With an emphasis on the scientific methods necessary to separate accurate from inaccurate claims, the Psychomythology boxes help students recognize that their "common-sense" intuitions about psychology are not always correct.

Factoids/Fictoids present interesting and surprising facts (Factoids) or widely held unsupported or false beliefs (Fictoids). In both cases, students will find their beliefs of psychology challenged and their perspectives broadened.

New Frontiers boxes highlight the thriving, evolving, and self-correcting discipline of psychology. Each chapter contains one "New Frontiers" box that focuses on a recent and exciting scientific innovation or new direction in the field.

Learning Objectives at the beginning of each chapter are tied to chapter summary and review material, giving students a framework for studying.

Striking visuals and an uncluttered “back to basics” design, based on extensive market research and focus-group feedback, support student learning while enhancing reading enjoyment.

This is a first edition text. Please see the "Features" page for a detailed list of new features to this text.

Praise for Psychology: From Inquiry to Understanding

 “The authors speak directly to students without ever talking down to them or over their heads. This text should serve as the prototype for how to write for college students today.”

–John Bickford, University of Massachusetts

“This is the introductory psychology textbook you’ve been dreaming about. It will change the way you think about what an introductory psychology textbook can do.”

–Brian Johnson, University of Tennessee at Martin

“This text is a fascinating journey. . . . I highly recommend this work to everyone.”

–Robert Hensley, Mansfield University

“Where has this book been all my teaching life?”

–Brady J. Phelps, South Dakota State University

“The authors have created a superb textbook.”

–Linda Fayard, Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College

 “This is an introductory psychology text for the twenty-first century student.”

–David Payne, Wallace Community College

 “The text reads more like a non-fiction bestseller than a textbook. In a world where all introductory psychology texts look a great deal alike this one will stand out on your shelf.”

–Laura Gruntmeier, Redlands Community College

“I like the way the authors relate to the reader. The authors do a great job of explaining what might be controversial and ask us to open our minds. They relate the content to our generation. It was easy to read.”

–Daren Essig, student, Community College of Rhode Island

“If the chapters in our current psychology book were like the ones in Lilienfeld, I would actually read the book.”

–Chris Deery, student, Community College of Rhode Island

  Brief Description | Buy from myPearsonStore

  

  Real Science. Real Life.  Presents a balanced Scientist - Practitioner - Educator approach to understanding Abnormal Psychology.   

   

  Several features distinguish this text from other currently available textbooks.  First, the base of abnormal psychology rests on knowledge generated through scientific studies and clinical practice.  This text will emphasize this rich blend throughout.   Second, it is increasingly clear that most forms of adult abnormal behavior either begin in childhood or have childhood precursors.  In this text, we highlight what is known about the developmental trajectory of each condition.  Such a focus, we believe, is instrumental in helping students gain some insight into the etiology of maladaptive conditions. Third, we integrate biological findings with findings from social and behavioral sciences to foster the perspective that abnormal behavior is complex and subject to many different forces, and highlight how these variables often interact in a reciprocal fashion.  Fourth, scientific findings with respect to race and gender are discussed with respect to each condition.  This includes a discussion of prevalence, differences in symptom manifestation, and any known etiological differences.  Importantly, an effort is made to “bring to life” the nature of these conditions by providing vivid clinical descriptions.   In addition to short descriptions that will be used liberally throughout each chapter, a fully integrated case study will be presented at the end of each chapter, again illustrating the interplay of biological, psychosocial and emotional factors.

  For courses in Abnormal Psychology and Psychopathology.

   

  Psychology in a Changing World puts a human face on the study of Abnormal Psychology.

   

  Within the field of abnormal psychology, research developments continue to sharpen the understanding of abnormal behavior. In Abnormal Psychology in a Changing World, Nevid, Rathus, and Greene endeavor to bring these advances to students in a way that both stimulates interest and makes complex material understandable. More importantly, however, they recognize there is a basic human dimension to the study of abnormal psychology.  The approach the authors take is to help students enter the world of people suffering from the range of disorders they encounter in the text.  By including many illustrative case examples drawn from the authors' own case experiences and those of other practitioners, an accompanying video casebook of interviews with real people diagnosed with different disorders, and a landmark pedagogical feature of first-person narratives from people struggling with psychological disorders, Abnormal Psychology in a Changing World 7e helps put a human face on the study of abnormal psychology.

  Fundamentals of Psychology in Context, 3/E

  ISBN-10: 0205507573 | ISBN-13: 9780205507573
  Brief Description | Buy from myPearsonStore

  

  This innovative, 13-chapter text examines psychological issues from the levels of the brain, person, and social world to help students actively apply psychology to their lives.

   

  Through their own research, clinical work, and experiences as teachers, Stephen Kosslyn and Robin Rosenberg have found that exploring psychology from multiple perspectives further enhances learning. Examining psychological concepts from the levels of the brain (biological factors), the person (beliefs, desires, and feelings), and the world (social, cultural, and environmental factors) and their interactions helps students organize and integrate topics within and across chapters and actively apply psychology to their lives.

   

  This briefer version of the authors’ comprehensive Psychology in Context, 3e combines the introductory chapter with research methods, consciousness with stress/health coverage, and cognition with intelligence for three fewer chapters than the comprehensive Kosslyn/Rosenberg text. It also features end-of-chapter practice tests to aid students in mastering concepts.

The briefer version retains all the hallmarks of the original text: up-to-date coverage of the quickly evolving area of social psychology--balanced in its coverage of fundamentals with current research--and written in a lively, engaging style.

  With a focus on the constant interactions of events, this text helps students understand the foundations of the discipline from the vantage points of the brain, the person, and the world (group).

   

  Through their own research, clinical work, and experiences as teachers, Stephen Kosslyn and Robin Rosenberg have found that exploring psychology from three integrated perspectives further enhances learning. Examining psychological concepts from the interactions of the brain (biological factors), the person (beliefs, desires, and feelings) and the world (social, cultural, and environmental factors) helps students organize and integrate topics within and across chapters and actively apply psychology to their lives.

   

  The third edition continues to provide the most comprehensive yet accessible coverage of neuroscience for the introductory psychology student.  The neuroscience is placed solidly in a psychological context; facts about the brain are not described for their own sake, but rather to show how such facts illuminate psychology.  The third edition also features pedagogical enhancements such as “chunking” the material into smaller units to help students more readily learn and retain information.  Each chapter also closes with a “Review and Remember!” note-taking exercise that encourages students to jot down their own thoughts and memory devices alongside the author-provided summary.

  Psychology: Core Concepts has been a best-seller through five editions.  Its focus on the key questions and core concepts of psychology – along with a wealth of high-interest features such as “Psychology in Your Life,” “Using Psychology to Learn Psychology,” and “Do It Yourself” boxes – has given students the tools and the motivation to master introductory psychology. 

   

  Now, this well loved text is available in a special edition tied to the award-winning “Discovering Psychology” video series, produced by WGBH Boston with the American Psychological Association.  Author Phil Zimbardo narrates the video series, as leading researchers, practitioners, and theorists probe the mysteries of the mind and body and bring psychology to life for introductory students.

   

  Psychology: Core Concepts: The Discovering Psychology Edition offers the same content as the Fifth Edition, and adds a built in Discovering Psychology viewing guide at the end of each chapter.  Each new copy of the text comes packaged – at no additional cost – with access to MyPsychLab, an online tool that includes links to the “Discovering Psychology” videos, as well as interactive viewing activities tied to the videos.   Students can go to MyPsychLab to launch the videos and then either complete the viewing activities in their textbook or and do the assignments online.  There’s also an Index of Multimedia that makes it easy for instructors to find and launch specific video segments for classroom presentation.

  • Present psychology as a science.

  Social Psychology: Goals in Interaction reveals the motives behind social behavior—why people love, hate, lead, and follow, for example- and bridges the person and the social situation.

   

  A unique integrated approach to social behavior:  What do terrorist bombings, testosterone, one-minute “hurry dates,” Facebook, and political smear campaigns have to do with one another?  Social Psychology textbooks typically provide a laundry list of interesting, but disconnected facts and theories.  This standard approach grabs interest but falls short as a way to learn.  Kenrick, Neuberg, and Cialdini instead provide an integrative approach, one that both builds upon traditional lessons learned by the field and pushes those lessons to the cutting-edge.  By organizing each chapter around the two broad questions–“What are the goals that underlie the behavior in question?” and “What factors in the person and the situation connect to each goal?” –the book presents the discipline as a coherent framework for understanding human behavior.  Expanding he integrative theme in this edition, KNC highlights social psychology as the ultimate bridge discipline–connectingthe different findings and theories of social psychology, exploring the field’s links to other areas of psychology (e.g., clinical, organizational, and neuroscience), and bridging to other important academic disciplines (e.g., anthropology, biology, economics, medicine, and law). 

   

  Opening mysteries: Each chapter begins with a mystery, designed not only to grab student interest, but also to organize the ensuing discussion of scientific research: Why did the beautiful and talented artist Frida Kahlo fall for the much older, and much less attractive, Diego Rivera, and then tolerate his numerous extramarital affairs? What psychological forces led the Dalai Lama, the most exalted personage in Tibet, to forge a lifelong friendship with a foreign vagabond openly scorned by Tibetan peasants? Why would a boy falsely confess to murdering his own mother?

   

  The latest scholarship, engaging writing, engrossing real-world stories and the authors' strengths as renowned researchers and expert teachers, all come together to make the fifth edition of Social Psychology: Goals in Interaction an accessible and engaging read for students, while providing a modern and cohesive approach for their teachers.

  ISBN-10: 0205493955 | ISBN-13: 9780205493951
  Brief Description

  

  Social Psychology: Goals in Interaction explores how social behavior is goal-directed and a result of interactions between the person and the situation.

   

  In addition to a beautiful new design in the 4e, Social Psychology: Goals in Interaction has two elements that continue to set it apart from other social psychology textbooks:

   

  A unique integrated approach to social behavior: Rather than providing a laundry list of unconnected facts and theories, the authors organize each chapter around the two broad questions: (1) What are the goals that underlie the behavior in question? (2) What factors in the person and the situation connect to each goal? The book thus presents the discipline as a coherent framework for understanding human behavior.  The new subtitle, “Goals in Interactions” underscores this integrated approach to understanding behavior. 

   

  Opening mysteries: Each chapter begins with a mystery of social behavior, designed not only to grab student interest, but also to organize the ensuing discussion of scientific research: Why would a poor black washerwoman give away her hard-earned life-savings? What psychological forces led the Dalai Lama, the most exalted personage in Tibet, to forge a lifelong friendship with a foreign vagabond openly scorned by Tibetan peasants? Why would a boy falsely confess to murdering his own mother?

   

  The latest scholarship, engaging writing, engrossing real-world stories and the authors' strengths as renowned researchers and expert teachers, all come together to make the fourth edition of Social Psychology: Goals in Interaction an accessible and engaging read for students, while providing a modern and cohesive approach for their teachers.
