Description

The field of psychology has expanded our understanding of people’s thoughts, feelings, and behavior; this information has applications both within and beyond the classroom. Stephen Franzoi’s sixth edition of Psychology, like its predecessor, takes students on a journey of discovery, connecting cutting-edge research with their everyday lives. Pairing scientific discovery with self-discovery, the text includes more than 20 Self-Discovery Questionnaires currently used by psychologists. These provide students with a window into the latest research and an opportunity to learn about themselves. Results of studies employing these questionnaires are then discussed. The text also includes more than 20 Explore It Exercises in which students actively experience how specific psychological processes work. These questionnaires and exercises encourage students to make text material personal, which simultaneously aids individual growth and makes scholarly material both accessible and meaningful, facilitating retention. Integrated into this journey of discovery is an emphasis on recognizing the ways in which people are both similar to and different from one another. Stephen Franzoi accomplishes this goal by regularly analyzing how cultural and evolutionary forces collectively shape human thought and behavior. Finally, this edition features a wealth of new photos, tables, and figures, and over 300 new references reflecting the latest peer-reviewed research.
