New co-author Tanya Martini -- whose research focuses on skill-based learning outcomes in post-secondary education -- expands the perspective offered in the text.
-
All-new Skills in Action modules end each module cluster (see modules 6, 11, 16, 22, 26, etc.) These modules take students beyond learning psychology as a set of facts to learning psychology skills that make a difference in life and careers. Topics include information literacy, behaving ethically, giving memorable presentations, leadership, and many others. An added bonus: the modules are consistent with American Psychological Association undergraduate curriculum objectives.
-
To improve overall readability, this edition has been rewritten to absorb feature boxes into the primary narrative. In addition, the photos and figures more directly support the book's content and pedagogical objectives.
-
While modules may still be covered in any order, they are more richly interlinked in this edition to illustrate the interconnectedness of the field of psychology.
-
The module on behavioral statistics has been moved to the Appendix.
-
This edition's integration with MindTap®, the digital learning experience available with the text, has been honed. For instance, MindTap® activities incorporate the text's SQ4R learning system, and the text and the MindTap® universal glossary are now completely aligned.
-
Four integrative themes throughout the book spotlight the continued growing importance of neuroscience, the centrality of self-knowledge, and the importance of considering both cultural and gender diversity. Tables illustrating how these themes are repeatedly revisited throughout the book can be found in the preface.
-
The SQ4R learning system focuses on active processing, reflection, and critical thinking. The system is integrated throughout the text, with features such as prereading survey questions, critical thinking activities, and study guides to support application of the system and to help students more readily master the material.
-
Fully integrated with MindTap®, the text encourages active student engagement by offering intuitive metaphors, constantly inviting self-exploration of key topics, and posing critical thinking questions that invite students to challenge their own "common sense" assumptions.
-
The authors relate course material to everyday life with an engaging style and frequent use of familiar, relevant analogies. In this edition, analogies and examples that formerly were set off as boxed features have been absorbed into the text narrative.
