Promoting Scientific Literacy in Psychology.

An Introduction to Psychological Science helps students view psychology as a practical, modern science–and gives them the tools to better understand their world.

Organized around a scientific literacy model, the text’s content and features encourage scientific inquiry, prompting students to ask a series of scientific-minded questions about each topic. All aspects of the book–the topics covered, learning objectives, quizzes, and even the modular format–have been developed to enable students to categorize the overwhelming amount of information they encounter, and to ignite their interest in psychological science.
