Scientific American: Psychology

"Scientific American: Psychology is built upon two pillars of research, the first and most important being the study of behavior and mental processes. The field of psychology is supported by a vast fund of scientific evidence, and this textbook is designed to reflect that. Flipping through the pages of this edition, you will encounter thousands of citations, the great majority referencing studies published in academic journals. We select these articles with great care, weighing the quality of evidence, the credibility of the publication, and the credentials of the authors. The process involves a lot of critical thinking-an academic skill that we try to cultivate throughout the text and in our classrooms"-- Provided by publisher.
