What's New

  • P.O.W.E.R. Learning pedagogy - chapter sections include advance organizers followed by review and critical thinking activities. The Prepare and Organize features offer open-ended questions and section outlines that help students orient themselves in the new material. Upon completing the section, students are asked to check their comprehension by answering the questions in the Evaluate section. Rethink questions ask students to think critically about the concepts they've learned and apply those concepts to their lives and the world around them.
  • New Research - hundreds of new citations reflect the comprehensive updating in this edition.
  • New Content - the text has been thoroughly revised to incorporate pertinent new examples and explanations. Specific attention to advances in behavioral genetics and evolutionary approaches to psychology have been added.
  • New Photo and Illustration Program - a completely new art program enlivens the text and clarifies key material throughout the text, but especially in the biological sections.
  • New Web Activities - Every chapter includes two web exercises as well as a feature that alerts students to pertinent material on the text's On-line Learning Center.
