Introduction to Psychology
by Dennis Coon

Psychology
by Wayne Weiten

The Seventh Edition of Wayne Weiten's popular text, PSYCHOLOGY: THEMES AND VARIATIONS, continues to offer students a unique survey of psychology with three distinct goals: to show both the unity and diversity of psychology's subject matter; to illuminate the process of research and its intimate link to application, and to make the text challenging to think about and easy to learn from. Weiten achieves these goals through a number of distinctive features. Integrative themes?including empiricism, theoretical diversity, sociohistorical contexts, multifactorial causation, cultural heritage, heredity and environment, and subjectivity of experience?are woven throughout the text to provide connections among the different areas of research in psychology. A unique end of chapter section, "Reflecting on the Chapter's Themes," ties together the key themes most relevant to each chapter, and shows links across chapter content. The book's dynamic, teaching-oriented illustration program further enhances these themes. Featured Studies, Personal Applications, and Critical Thinking Applications provide students with unprecedented opportunities to see research methods in action, to understand the practical side of psychology, and to develop important critical thinking skills. Weiten reinforces concepts through periodic in-chapter Concept Checks and an end of chapter practice quiz in every chapter. At the same time, he presents topics in a hierarchical manner, giving students handles they can use to prioritize concepts within the chapter.

Psychology
by Jeffrey S. Nevid

Psychology: Concepts and Applications, 2/e, offers a concept-based approach supported by a unique pedagogical framework. Nevid provides a broad view of psychology that includes history, research methods, major theories, and research findings and their contemporary applications in everyday life. The text's successful modular format organizes each chapter into manageable instructional units that help students focus on one topic at a time within the context of a larger chapter structure. Jeffrey Nevid developed a comprehensive learning system for this text derived from his research on memory, learning, and textbook pedagogy. This learning model, which organizes the text's pedagogical features, incorporates four goals that Nevid refers to as the "Four E's of Effective Learning": Engaging Student Interest, Encoding Information, Elaborating Meaning, Evaluating Progress. New! Reality Check boxes encourage students to think critically about popular beliefs and claims related to the field of psychology. Each box presents students with evidence evaluating the statements and concludes with summary of present knowledge and current research about the topic. New! Exploring Psychology features provide greater depth of coverage of contemporary research, controversies in the field, and current issues that relate directly to students' lives. Topics covered include: Driving While Distracted; Binge Drinking: A Dangerous College Pastime; and Emotional Intelligence: How Well Do You Manage Your Emotions? Revised! Module Reviews appear at the end of each instructional section to provide both a written summary and testing area for students to ensure comprehension before proceeding in the text. This three-part review offers thought-provoking questions that help students sharpen their critical-thinking skills and reflect on how the material relates to their own experiences. Important pedagogy in e ach module includes marginal Key Concept notes that support Nevid's concept-signaling approach; Concept Charts for summary and review; Try This Out! application activities; Pioneer Boxes, offering profiles of researchers; Application Modules, providing real-world context; and chapter-ending Tying It Together sections that demonstrate how the modules interrelate within the chapter.
