With Psychology 4e, psychological science goes from a course students take to a subject students love. Its rich story-telling and fascinating examples captivate student readers as they develop essential critical thinking and scientific literacy skills. Authored by a world-renowned team of psychologists and researchers, it covers the full spectrum of psychology—from fundamental principles to advanced topics in cognitive, developmental, social, and personality psychology. The writing style is witty and humorous, carried over from Bruce Hood’s (University of Bristol) popular science books. The market leading textbook is back and includes updated research, a strong focus on equity, diversity, and inclusion, and global applications.
