Publisher's Synopsis
This research-orientated introductory text rises to the challenge of presenting the study of psychology as an integrated presentation of general principles, research methodologies and applications. The authors strive to make research accessible to students by not only including current and classic research findings, but also by showing how actual studies were conducted. The book is team written, discussing the subfields of psychology as mutually supportive and overlapping and is filled with pedagogical devices that assimilate as they clarify.
