Description

Are you interested in becoming more competent in dealing with future life events? Psychology involves the "study of the mind." As such, introductory psychology offers you the hope that course material will help you better understand not only other people but also yourself. Seeking such knowledge is a distinguishing feature of young adulthood, and the college experience is specifically designed to foster this quest. In writing this text, Stephen Franzoi sought to bring to these pages the same message of hope and discovery that infuses the entire field of psychology.

While encouraging the student to analyze the scientific journey of discovery in psychology, the text also facilitates a personal journey of discovery including more than 20 Self-Discovery questionnaires that ask you to consider how the specific text material relates to your life. Beyond self-report questionnaires, the author also presents a Psychological Applications section at the end of each chapter that demonstrates how psychology can be applied to your life.

The sixth edition of Essentials of Psychology has a great deal of new content, including many new photos, figures, and tables, as well as more than 300 new references. Each chapter opens with a chapter outline and a bulleted summary at the end of each major chapter reviews the section's most important concepts. Review questions at the end of each chapter allow you to check your comprehension of the chapter's major concepts.
