Introduction to psychology

More about the book

For the introductory or general psychology course, this text has been the gold standard in the field for decades. Psychology is a dynamic field. This classic text captures the dynamic nature of contemporary psychology in 3 ways: (1) controversial issues are discussed in point/counterpoint essays in Contemporary Voices in Psychology boxes; (2) research is applied to real world problems in Frontiers of Psychological Research boxes; and (3) a biological orientation, a trend which is changing the way psychological topics are viewed, is exemplified by integrated bio-evolutionary research and coverage.
