Description
Psychological Science gives students an enticing overview of contemporary psychological research. It develops psychological literacy by presenting the material in a way that is directly related to their lives. It shows students how culture and gender can affect the way they view the world. And it asks them to consider the difficult new ethical dilemmas stemming from advances in psychological research. Throughout the text, real world psychology icons point out especially relevant examples, case studies important areas of applied research, and even potential career fields. Examples include how to deal with pain, whether childhood memories can be trusted, how to get better sleep, and how to maintain a long-term committed relationship.
