From the Publisher:

The Fifth Edition builds on the success of this best-seller with extensive revisions and updated material in every chapter. Throughout the text authors Steve Worchel and Wayne Shebilske cover the latest research findings on basic psychological principles, and bring these to life with plenty of applications to the world around us. The Fifth Edition retains many features which students have loved from previous editions, but extends and reinforces the learning system in each chapter and incorporates a new global, multicultural perspective throughout. Readers are guided through each chapter with engaging stories about real people which introduce each chapter and are then revisited frequently to reinforce the psychological principles presented in the chapter.

From the Back Cover:
