This item has been replaced by Research Stories for Introductory Psychology, 3/E.

This is a unique collection of readings, retelling stories of 32 research studies in the field of psychology.

“In order to think critically, you need to know that the findings of psychology are tightly laced to the methods.” It is with this premise that Research Stories for Introductory Psychology begins. The unique collection of readings retells stories of key research that explain the very foundation of the discipline. Chapters are organized to correspond with those of nearly every introductory text, making it a strong supplemental text. Research Stories for Introductory Psychology can also be used in place of a more traditional book or in conjunction with additional paperback books.

Thirty-two stories, ranging from “Yoking Smoking” to “Going to Pot”; from “Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Ad?” to “Does TV Violence Sell?”; from “I Think I Can” to “You're Driving Me Crazy.”

Discussion of methods behind each study encourages critical thinking about key concepts.

Retelling of complex contemporary research in a simplified form is the first step in teaching the skills required for understanding current professional journal articles in psychology.

Critical thinking happens naturally as students are exposed to the rich and detailed research context that may surround a single finding.

The Instructor's Manual contains complete materials (including Test Bank questions) for instructors interested in a lively and different approach to teaching this course. Detailed teaching outlines provide everything necessary to adopt a teaching strategy that makes the students aggressively take responsibility for learning.

Topic areas are similar to those found in nearly every introductory text.

Up to date research allows students to see the current state of psychology; several older classic studies illustrate important historical roots, but the text focuses on information from the last decade.
