Psychology

Baron/Byrne/Branscombe's Social Psychology–a text that has motivated students to take social psychology out of the classroom and into their lives for over four decades–has gone through its most major revision to date! Welcoming Nyla Branscombe to the author team has been a key addition to the 11^th edition.

• “Beyond the Headlines: As Social Psychologists See It” takes real-life news events and examines them from the field of social psychology. This feature illustrates how the topics can be applied to many aspects of human behavior. These have all been rewritten for this edition.
• "Ideas to Take with You," at the end of every chapter, highlight important concepts that impact students' daily lives.
• “Connections tables” at the end of every chapter help explain the relationship between certain topics within the field of social psychology. “Critical Thinking” questions follow the “Connections” tables.
• “Key Points” at the end of every major section help students understand what they have read and key terms in bold help students look for definitions (both within the text and in the glossary at the end of the book). Chapter summaries, called “Summary and Review of Key Points” help students assess what they have read.

• A new co-author! Nyla R. Branscombe (University of Kansas) has joined the author team. Her expertise in topics such as prejudice, the self, gender and group processes have allowed for major updates in these areas.
• MyPsychLab for Social Psychology is an exciting learning and teaching tool designed to increase student success in the classroom, and quickly and easily give instructors access to every imaginable resource needed to teach and administer a social psychology course. For more information and a demonstration visit www.mypsychlab.com.
• Complete rewrite of Chapter 5! The authors have revamped the important chapter on The Self. They have also added two new modules on dealing with the applications of social psychology as it relates to law and health as well as how it relates to work settings and entrepreneurship.
• New text feature: The Science of Social Psychology: Making Sense of Common Sense. This new feature shows how the findings of social psychology have reversed or refined common sense ideas. For example: Can we be scared into changing our attitudes? Do opposites attract?
• Important new topics in the 11/e include new trends in social psychology such as:  increasing attention to implicit (nonconscious) processes;  the  role of automatic processes in counterfactual thinking; the role of linguistic style in the detection of deception; origins of the correspondence biases (fundamental attribution error); implicit personality theories and their role in impression formation; attitudes toward many new social issues (e.g., same-sex marriage; Muslims, age); the role of laughter in attraction; mortality salience as a basis for affiliation; effects of loneliness on health and life span; good and bad ways couples deal with disagreements; automatic activation of norms; symbolic social influence-how we are influenced by our mental representations of other persons even when they are not actually present; evidence on the nature of heroism; research on the implicit bystander effect; research on the effect of ethnicity on volunteerism and charitable donations; effects of violent pornography; forgiveness as a means for reducing aggression; the benefits and costs of group membership, including the reasons why groups sometimes splinter; deindividuation, including recent work on the role of self-awareness and social identity in this process.
• A focus on emerging themes. Some key new themes in the text include:
  • The interface (and interplay) between social cognition and social behavior.
  • Social neuroscience.
  • The role of implicit (nonconscious) processes in both social thought and social behavior.
  • Growing attention to social diversity and the complex issues it involves.

  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.

  Psychology in Context, 3/E
  Kosslyn & Rosenberg

  ISBN-10: 0205456146 | ISBN-13: 9780205456147
  Brief Description | Buy from myPearsonStore

  

  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.

  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.

  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.
