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.

• The Mystery. Each chapter begins with a real-life puzzle.  For example, why would an American man who had been working part-time and hanging out in a California rock gym suddenly decide to risk his life to build schools for poor people in the terrorist-infested mountains of Pakistan and Afghanistan?  Each mystery is designed to raise the questions that guide the research students will read about in the chapter that follows.

• The Goals. Next, the reader is asked to ponder the motives underlying the behavior covered in the chapter, by asking “What purpose does this behavior (aggression, helping, discrimination) serve?” The authors consider factors in the person, the situation, and in their interaction that lead to the achievement of those goals.

• Investigations.  This marginal feature offers periodic critical-thinking prompts connected to chapter content.  For example, in Chapter 1, students are asked to think of someone whose behavior has been prominent in the recent news, and to contemplate how that behavior would be explained differently from the sociocultural, evolutionary, and social learning perspectives.

• Person, Situation and Interaction icons.  Placed in the margin of the book, these graphic elements alert students to text coverage of these three key themes throughout each chapter. 

• Bridging Theory and Application.  To emphasize the text's integrative framework, this feature examines how research findings relate to and influence real-world issues.  For instance, in Chapter 5, KNC describes how persuasion science has been used to turn tobacco companies’ own advertising tactics against themselves.

• Bridging Method and Evidence.  To further emphasize the text's integrative framework, this feature introduces the investigative tools social psychologists use to solve their mysteries.  In Chapter 11, the book explores how new social neuroscience methods have been used to better understand the mental underpinnings of prejudice.

• Bridging Function and Dysfunction.  Also to emphasize the text's integrative framework, this feature capitalizes on students' fascination with disorder to show how normally healthy social behaviors can produce unhealthy consequences when taken too far.  In Chapter 8, KNC explores how normal processes of romantic attachment can lead to obsessive relationships.

• Revisiting the Mystery. At the end of the chapter, the student sees the concepts of each chapter applied to solve the opening mystery.  We opened Chapter 1 with the example of an American risking his life to build schools in Pakistan. Why?  Early-life experiences with parents helping strangers in Africa suggest that social learning provides part of the answer.

• NEW OPENING MYSTERIES.  There are new chapter-opening mysteries in Chapters 1 and 8.  In Chapter 1, the mystery explores American Greg Mortensen’s work in Pakistan, asking: “Why would an American man who had been working part-time and hanging out in a California rock gym suddenly decide to risk his life to build schools for poor people in the terrorist-infested mountains of Pakistan and Afghanistan?”  Mortensen’s has been kidnapped by Taliban, and had his life threatened by Americans and Pakistanis –yet he persists in his work.  Why?  In Chapter 8, the new mystery explores the tumultuous romance between artists Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera.  Why did Frida fall for the much older and less attractive Diego, and then tolerate his numerous extramarital affairs?
• HUNDREDS OF NEW CUTTING EDGE REFERENCES.  Several hundred new references have been added to the fifth edition, many of which come from research papers published in 2007 or later.
• “QUICK QUIZ” STUDENT SELF-TESTS.  A new “Quick Quiz” self-test feature appears at the end of each A-head section in the chapter, encouraging students to check their understanding of the content before moving ahead with their reading.
• SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY AS THE “ULTIMATE BRIDGE DISCIPLINE”.  New to this fifth edition is an increased emphasis on social psychology’s unique position as a “bridge discipline” – that is, one that fosters connections between different areas of psychology (such as neuroscience, developmental, and clinical psychology) and between different behavioral sciences (such as anthropology, economics, political science, and zoology). These connections are explicitly discussed in the “Revisiting…” sections at the end of each chapter, and the in-chapter features have been renamed “Bridging Function and Dysfunction,” “Bridging Method and Evidence,” “Bridging Theory and Application” to further emphasize the discipline’s integrative impact.
• SPECIFIC EXAMPLES OF NEW CONTENT. 

o   Musical styles popular in different regions and among different social classes within the United States emphasize local cultural values: Country-Western lyrics emphasize adapting yourself to the world’s challenges, being resilient, and maintaining your integrity; Rock lyrics stress doing your own thing, going against the grain, and changing the world (chapter 1)

o   Whether or not a society emphasizes collectivism versus individualism, and whether or not the people in a country have personality traits linked to sociability, have been linked to local prevalence of contagious diseases (chapter 1).

o   Fluctuations in bodily hormones such as testosterone and estradiol have recently been linked to who we find attractive on any given day, and whether we are inclined to engage in financially risky behaviors (chapters 1 and 8)

o   People think they would be happier if they spend money on themselves, but recent findings suggest that they are actually happier if they give it to others (chapters 1 and 9)

o   Symbols from one culture can prime styles of thinking among members of other cultures. Subtly exposing European Americans to the yin-yang symbol led them to think less like European Americans and more like East Asians (chapter 2) 

o   Seeing yourself as holding a different opinion than your group activates the brain regions associated with physical pain (chapter 5)

o   New brain research indicates how attitudes can be learned without conscious awareness (chapter 5)

o   Healthy behaviors like quitting smoking and conserving energy can sweep though groups in a contagious fashion (chapter 6)

o   Helping other people activates the reward centers of our brains, which are associated with such pleasant activities as eating and sex (chapter 9)

  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.

  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.

  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 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 focuses on a manageable number of core concepts (usually three to five) in each chapter, allowing students to attain a deeper level of understanding of the material. 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. 

   

  The sixth edition is now 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. A built in Discovering Psychology viewing guide is contained at the end of each chapter of the textbook.  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, along with a wealth of assessment and multimedia tools to help students master the content of the course.

  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.
