Psychology

• Integrates the field and brings psychology into focus for students by examining concepts through the lenses of the brain, the person, and the world. The popular “Looking at Levels” feature engages students by exploring some aspect of psychology through these three lenses.

• Features a sophisticated yet accessible presentation, including built in study aids such as “Test Yourself!”interim review questions, “Consolidate!” chapter summaries, and key terms lists - all which help students focus in on the core concepts. Hands On demonstrations of psychological phenomena also bring psychological principles to life through application and participation.

• Includes a high-interest chapter story that begins each chapter and is revisited throughout, providing a framework for the chapter's discussion of relevant psychological theories and research. These stories allow students to see how the psychological material covered in the chapter might apply to people outside of a psychological laboratory and they also make the material more interesting and applicable to their lives, thus facilitating learning and remembering.

• Includes instructive art, thoughtfully placed throughout the text, making the text particularly helpful for visual learners. For example, classic experiments are described and displayed as multi-panel illustrations, helping students better understand and remember these studies through showing and telling.

• Features well-known and highly regarded authors: Stephen Kosslyn is professor of psychology at Harvard University where he is currently “head tutor,” supervising graduate students who teach the introductory psychology course. Dr. Kosslyn's research has focused on the nature of visual mental imagery and visual communication. Robin Rosenberg is a clinical psychologist in private practice and has taught introductory psychology at Lesley College.

• Includes a new chapter on research methods (Ch. 2) and a new feature called “Understanding Research” designed to help students critically evaluate a psychological study.

• Includes “Test Yourself!” study questions near the end of each A-head section, with answers on the companion website.

• Features a thoroughly revised illustration program and an attractive new design, resulting in unsurpassed clarity and enhanced visual appeal. More photos, figures, and subheadings make material easier to process and more user-friendly.

  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.

  Abnormal Psychology
  Beidel, Bulik & Stanley

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

   

  Several features distinguish this text from other textbooks currently available.  First, the base of abnormal psychology rests on knowledge generated through scientific studies and clinical practice.  This text emphasizes this rich blend throughout.   Second, it is increasingly clear that most forms of adult abnormal behavior either begin in childhood or have childhood precursors.  This text highlights what is known about the developmental trajectory of each condition.  Such a focus is instrumental in helping students gain some insight into the etiology of maladaptive conditions. Third, Beidel integrates 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 used liberally throughout each chapter, a fully integrated case study is 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

  Suggested retail price: $107.80  Buy from myPearsonStoreNet price: $80.85  (What's this?)Brief Description

  

  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.

  Suggested retail price: $142.60  Buy from myPearsonStoreNet price: $106.95  (What's this?)Brief Description

  

  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.

  Suggested retail price: $139.93  Buy from myPearsonStoreNet price: $104.95  (What's this?)Brief Description

  

  For an undergraduate introductory level course in social psychology.

   

  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.
