This textbook is suitable for the following courses: Introduction to Psychology, Principles of Psychology, Survey of Psychology, or other basic psychology course

Introduction to Psychology is a concise and conceptual introduction to the fascinating subject of psychology. Featuring a central theme of action—predicting our own actions and those around us--this book grabs students’ attention and does not let go. A strong underlying secondary theme of empiricism unifies the narrative under the umbrella of psychology as a science. Its standard, fifteen-chapter organization makes this textbook an ideal choice for a typical semester- or quarter-long course.

New in This Version

  • Each chapter opens by showcasing an interesting real-world example of people who are dealing with psychological questions and who use psychology to help them answer those questions.
  • One or two features designed to link the principles from the chapter to real-world applications in business, environment, health, law, education, and other relevant domains appear in each chapter.
  • New artwork to feature contemporary images.
  • A set of quiz questions is found at the end of every main chapter section. Students can use these to test their learning.
  • Contemporary themes such as Nature versus Nurture and Similarity versus Difference help to open up discussions of cross-cultural differences and gender differences.
