Psychology

Well-known for its readability and emphasis on psychology as a science, Psychology is a comprehensive, research-oriented text. The Fifth Edition expands on uses of research by examining the role of sociocultural variables in behavior. New and updated studies are discussed throughout and special attention has been paid to eliminating terms, examples, or references to topics understood only by North American students. Integrated in every chapter, a question-and-answer format guides readers through each research study by presenting a series of questions. Linkages a unique system of questions, discussion sections, and diagrams shows how psychology's subfields and approaches are linked to one another.
