This textbook is suitable for courses called Psychology, Introduction to Psychology, Principles of Psychology, Survey of Psychology, General Psychology, Science of Psychology, or for any basic psychology course that provides an overview of the discipline. The course is generally taught at the undergraduate level and at most two-and four-year colleges and universities. The Science of Psychology: Connections and Contemporary Issues paints a thorough and accurate picture of the expansive field of psychology without sacrificing engagement and readability. Many faculty members are skeptical that an introductory psychology textbook explicitly grounded in the scientific method can also connect and resonate with their students. However, this once-in-a-generation textbook shows it can be successfully done. Highly praised by peer reviewers, the conversational writing style weaves together psychology’s scientific foundations with creative and effective learning features. The result is a compellingly written introductory textbook that appeals to learners with a broad range of preparation, demystifies psychology, explicitly unifies connections between psychology’s subfields, and explores contemporary, high-interest topics and issues.
