Synopsis

This introduction to the study of psychology is organized around the well-known SQ3R study technique, using psychological principles to facilitate learning and encourage good study habits. It emphasizes basic concepts and general principles; chapter opening vignettes are integrated with conceptual material throughout, providing applications and reinforcement for students, and the authors' synthesis of the main forces in psychology enables students to see how theories and approaches are interrelated. Also featured are numerous learning aids, summary exercises and chapter outlines. Thus the reader is shown how psychological principles can be used to explain, predict and change various problems and issues on an individual, interpersonal or societal level.
