Riassunto

This exciting new textbook for introductory psychology helps to open students’ minds to the idea that psychology is all around us.Authors RON COMER and LIZ GOULD encourage students to examine what they know about human behaviour and how they know it; and open them up to an appreciation of psychology outside of the classroom.Psychology Around Us helps students see the big picture by stressing the interconnected nature of psychological science.

Almost every chapter within this first edition helps open students’ minds to comprehend the big picture with sections that highlight how the different fields of psychology are connected to each other and how they connect to everyday life. This text highlightshuman development, brain function, abnormal psychology, and theindividual differences in each area as cut-across themes to demonstrate these connections. Also included are two-page art spreads to demonstrate exactlyWhat Happens In The Brain When we engage in everyday activities such as eat pizza, study psychology, or listen to music. The art featured in these spreads have been created especially forPsychology Around Us by an award-winning artist with input from faculty on how it will contribute to teaching and learning.
