James S. Nairne and new co-author Dawn M. Mc Bride’s best-selling
Psychology, Seventh Edition offers a learning framework that follows the scientific process, connecting psychological concepts with common, everyday experiences. By first considering the purpose of psychological concepts and processes, students are prepared to understand when, why and how psychological phenomena occur in common human moments. Empirically based pedagogy—including concept reviews, self-tests, critical thinking activities, and active chapter summaries—are included throughout to promote retention, retrieval practice, and deeper thinking while guiding students to develop scientific literacy.
This title is accompanied by a complete teaching and learning package.
