Summary With each new edition, Myers and DeWall continue to find new and effective ways to connect students to the remarkable research that informs our understanding of human behavior. This is the book that formed the foundation for all subsequent editions: Exploring Psychology, Psychology in Everyday Life, and the AP® Edition.

To provide applications of principles 3. To reinforce learning at every step. Demonstrating the Science of Psychology: 4. To show the process of inquiry - 5. To be as up-to-date as possible - 6. To put facts in the service of concepts. Promoting Big Ideas and Broadened Horizons. 7. To enhance comprehension by providing continuity - 8. To convey respect for human unity and diversity. -- Publisher Contents The story of psychology -- Thinking critically with psychological science -- The biology of the mind -- Consciousness and the two-track mind -- Nature, nurture, and human diversity -- Developing through the life span -- Sensation and perception -- Learning -- Memory -- Thinking and language -- Intelligence -- What drives us : hunger, sex, belonging, and achievement -- Emotions, stress, and health -- Social Psychology -- Personality -- Psychological disorders -- Therapy -- Appendix A : the story of psychology : a timeline -- Appendix B : career fields in psychology -- Appendix C : psychology at work -- Appendix D : complete chapter reviews -- Appendix E : answers to the Retrieval practice and Master the materials questions.
