Real World Psychology balances comprehensive coverage of the key
concepts in introductory psychology with a concise presentation style
and engages students with current and interesting research that explores
these concepts in real-life contexts. Real World Psychology features
the incomparable author team of Karen Huffman (Palomar College) and
Catherine Sanderson (Amherst College) who create an outstanding text
that is appealing to students and instructors at a wide range of
academic institutions. The new edition has been thoroughly updated and
features a new focus on Scientific Thinking and Practical Applications
underscoring the fact that connecting the principles of psychological
science to everyday life is critical to student engagement, and
ultimately key to their success - not only in the introductory
psychology course, but in whatever their chosen field of study and in
everyday life. Students will leave the course with an appreciation of
how a basic, yet scientific understanding of human behavior can benefit
them in their studies, in their personal lives, and in their
professional endeavors.
