Psychology and Everyday Life: Teaching students about the science of psychology and helping them make connections between the discipline and everyday life has been a goal of this text from the beginning. A wealth of new features in this new edition, on the PsychInteractive CD-ROM, and on the Online Learning Center extend and enrich this theme. "Applying Psychology in the 21st Century": Boxes in each chapter discuss applications of psychological theory and current problems, as well as applications we are likely to see in the future.

Exploring Diversity: In addition to a substantial amount of material relevant to diversity integrated throughout the text, a special section in each unit explores a racial, ethnic, gender, or cultural diversity topic.

"Becoming an Informed Consumer of Psychology": Specific sections in each chapter are designed to give readers the ability to evaluate critically what the field of psychology offers. Recall - Evaluate - Rethink: The text pedagogy includes review summaries and questions, plus critical thinking questions that prompt students to think critically about the concepts covered in each module and apply those concepts to the world around them.
