Description

Where great science meets great teaching Psychology: Core Concepts, 7/eprovides rich coverage of the foundational topics taught for introductory psychology. Each major section of every chapter is organized around a single concept, called a Core Concept. The Core Concepts allow readers to draw connections across the chapter and see the big picture of psychology. Learning is then reinforced through focused application and critical thinking activities. The 7th edition features an enhanced critical thinking emphasis, with new chapter-opening "Problems" and new end-of-chapter critical thinking applications that promote active learning. MyPsychLab is an integral part of the Zimbardo / Johnson / McCann Hamilton program. Engaging activities and assessments provide a teaching and learning system that helps students think critically. With MyPsychLab, students can watch videos on psychological research and applications, participate in virtual classic experiments, and develop critical thinking skills through writing. This title is available in a variety of formats - digital and print. Pearson offers its titles on the devices students love through Pearson's MyLab products, CourseSmart, Amazon, and more.
