Filled with comprehensive, balanced coverage of classic and contemporary research, relevant examples, and engaging applications, this text shows you how psychology helps you understand yourself and the complex social world around you. It also uses psychological principles to illuminate the variety of opportunities you have in your life and your future career. While professors cite this bestselling book for its academic credibility and the authors' ability to stay current with ''hot topics,'' students say it's one text they just don't want to stop reading. The text and associated workbook are highly readable, engaging, and visually appealing, providing you with a wealth of material you can put to use every day. Also available: the MindTap online learning experience, featuring an eBook, activities that engage you in thinking about common misconceptions about psychology, animations that introduce key concepts, cool apps (including a text-to-speech reader), and more.
