Psychology

How familiar are your students with the scientific process? How do you get students to understand that psychology is a rigorous science? 

An important goal of Psychology and Life is to teach the scientific basis of psychological reasoning.  Within each chapter we integrate directly into the text descriptions of classic and cutting edge research studies, identified by a vertical blue line next to the text, that showcase the how and why behind key psychological research.

These research studies include:

• plasticity in the visual cortex of adult rats;
• the impact of meditation on brain structure;
• the impact of culture on judgments of which category members are typical, the impact of emotions on memory for visual details;
• individual differences in intimacy goals;
• family therapy for children’s anxiety disorders;
• cross-cultural differences in cognitive dissonance; and
• genetic influences on physical and social aggression.

To keep Psychology and Life on the cutting edge of psychological science, we have also expanded coverage of cognitive neuroscience throughout the book and included new MRI photos in several chapters.

 

Do your students ask themselves: "Why am I here?  When will I use this information?"  How do you motivate them to see that psychology is a dynamic, relevant discipline?

Psychology in Your Life sections show students how psychological knowledge is directly relevant to the decisions they make every day by presenting and exploring questions posed by psychology students around the U.S. Psychology in Your Life topics include:

• Why Does Music Have An Impact on How You Feel? (Chapter 3)
• Do You Get Enough Sleep? (Chapter 5)
• Do Theories of Intelligence Matter? (Chapter 9)
• Will Your Brain Work Differently as You Age? (Chapter 10)
• Why Are Some People Happier than Others? (Chapter 12)
• How Might Reconciliation Be Possible? (Chapter 17)

How are your students’ critical thinking skills? Do you find yourself in the position of having to "unteach" some of the notions about psychology they may have acquired through the popular media?

Recognizing that students quite often have acquired partial or even incorrect understandings of psychological concepts from the popular media, we have created a new feature we call Critical Thinking in Your Life in which we seek to confront students directly with the experimental basis of critical conclusions to teach them how to interpret and evaluate what they hear in the media and become wiser consumers of the abundance of research studies and surveys cited. Critical Thinking in Your Life topics include:

• How Can You Evaluate Psychological Information on the Web? (Chapter 2)
• What Does “It’s Genetic” Mean? (Chapter 3)
• Can Technology Restore Sight? (Chapter 4)
• Can Political Experts Predict the Future? (Chapter 8)
• Can You Trust Assessment on the Web? (Chapter 9)
• Can Health Psychology Help You Be a Healthy Person by 2010? (Chapter 12

We also reinforce critical thinking skills in several other ways:

• Critical Thinking questions with every Stop and Review box (at the end of each major chapter section) (p. 220)
• Probing questions paired with photos and figures (p. 226)
• Essay questions at the end of each chapter. (p. 233)

Are you looking for a text with strong coverage of social psychology?

We cover social psychology in two chapters. Chapter 16, Social Cognition and Relationships, covers classic and contemporary social psychological research on social cognition and relationships. In chapter 17, Social Processes, Society, and Culture, we show students how psychology influences public policy and how psychologists participate responsibly in society. We include current research in social behavior in a cross-cultural perspective, moral judgments, aggression and prejudice, authority influences, and political and peace psychology.

 

How do you keep your brightest students motivated without leaving other students behind?

Psychology and Life has maintained a reputation for presenting the science of psychology in a way that is challenging, yet accessible, to a broad range of students. To enhance students’ experience with the book, we include several pedagogical features:

• Stop and Review. This feature appears at the end of every major section and provides students with thought-provoking questions to test their mastery of material before moving on.
• NEW! Practice Test. Each chapter concludes with a practice test with multiple choice questions based on the material in both the main text and the boxes. In addition, we’ve provided sample essay questions that allow students to think more broadly about the content of each chapter. Multiple choice answers can be found in the Answer Appendix, and essay question suggested answers can be found in the Instructor’s Manual.
• Recapping Main Points. Each chapter concludes with a chapter summary, Recapping Main Points, which summarizes the chapter content and is organized according to major section headings.
• Key Terms. Key terms are boldfaced in the text as they appear and are listed, with page references, at the end of each chapter for quick review.

 

• The Eighteenth Edition includes up-to-date coverage and is brimming with more than 350 new references.
• “Critical Thinking in Your Life” sections show students how they can put psychological knowledge to use to improve the quality of their thinking.  The boxes apply research results in contexts that should have direct applications to students’ experiences.  Each box ends with critical thinking questions to deepen students’ understanding of the material. 
• Each major section of the text ends with a section called “Stop and Review.”  Students are provided with a series of questions to test their understanding of the material.  Answers to those questions are provided at the end of the text.  In addition, critical thinking questions allow students to consider the methodology and conclusions of the sections’ research studies.
• Each chapter concludes with a practice test with multiple choice questions based on the material in both the main text and the boxes.  The practice tests also include sample essay questions that allow students to think more broadly about the content of each chapter. 
• Chapter 1 includes a new section called Study Techniques that provides students with concrete advice about how to get the greatest advantage from the text and their course.
• The authors have expanded coverage of cognitive neuroscience throughout the book, enhanced by the addition of new MRI photos in several chapters, keeping students abreast of the latest developments in the field.

Introductory Psychology  [COMPREHENSIVE]   (Psychology)

R<>ichard J. Gerrig is a professor of psychology at Stony Brook University. Before joining the Stony Brook faculty, Gerrig taught at Yale University, where he was awarded the Lex Hixon Prize for teaching excellence in the social sciences. Gerrig’s research on cognitive psychological aspects of language use has been widely published. One line of work examines the mental processes that underlie efficient communication. A second research program considers the cognitive and emotional changes readers experience when they are transported to the worlds of stories. His book Experiencing Narrative Worlds was published by Yale University Press. Gerrig is a Fellow of both the American Psychological Association and the Association for Psychological Science. He is also an associate editor of Psychonomic Bulletin & Review. Gerrig is the proud father of Alexandra, who at age 16 provides substantial and valuable advice about many aspects of psychology and life in the 21st century. Life on Long Island is greatly enhanced by the guidance and support of Timothy Peterson.

 

Philip G. Zimbardo is an emeritus professor of psychology at Stanford University, where he has taught since 1968, after earlier teaching at Yale University, New York University, and Columbia University. He also continues to teach at the Naval Post Graduate School in Monterey. Zimbardo is internationally recognized as the “voice and face of contemporary psychology” through his widely seen PBS-TV series, Discovering Psychology, his media appearances, best-selling trade books on shyness, and his classic research, The Stanford Prison Experiment. His current research interests are in the domain of experimental social psychology, with a scattered emphasis on everything interesting to study from shyness to time perspective, persuasion, cults, madness, violence, vandalism, political psychology, and terrorism. Zimbardo has been a prolific, innovative researcher across a number of fields in social and general psychology, with more than 300 professional articles and chapters and 50 books to his credit. To recognize the breadth of his research achievements, the American Psychological Association presented Zimbardo with the Ernest Hilgard Award for lifetime contributions to general psychology. He has also won the Vaclav Havel Foundation Award for his body of research on the human condition. Zimbardo has been President of the Western Psychological Association (twice), President of the American Psychological Association, Chair of the Council of Scientific Society Presidents (CSSP), and now Chair of the Western Psychological Foundation and Director of the Center for Interdisciplinary Policy, Education, and Research on Terrorism. He is most excited about the publication of his new trade book in March 2007 (Random House), which he has been working on intensely for the past several years. Its domain is the psychology of evil; its provocative title: “The Lucifer Effect: Understanding How Good People Turn Evil.”

  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.

  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.

Learning is reinforced through focused application and critical thinking activities, and connections between concepts are drawn across chapters to help students see the big picture of psychology as a whole. The 6^th Edition features an enhanced critical thinking emphasis, with new chapter-opening "Problems" and new end-of-chapter critical thinking applications that promote more active learning of the content.

  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.

  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.
