Transforming psychology from a course students take to a subject students love

Features
The Real World. Applications from psychological science to real life–many updated in this edition–to show how the readings are reflected in real life.
Other Voices. These beautifully written short essays provide insights into human nature from people around the world, many updated in this edition
Hot Science. New scientific findings that changed the way we think—and that might change the way you think as well.
A World of Difference. People differ in countless ways—by culture, gender, race, religion, age, wealth, sexual orientation, and a whole host of other differences. These sources of diversity influence just about everything people think, feel, and do, so in every chapter.

In the text
Words Matter. The text begins with this new section that explains our use of words denoting sex, gender, and race, and encourages students to think about how they use these words in their everyday lives.
Stronger DEI Coverage. Careful and thorough attention to issues of diversity, equity and inclusion throughout.
Hundreds of new research citations.
“I have utilized Introducing Psychology (4e) as a TA and now as an Instructor (5e). This text is written clearly and concisely. For an introductory course, the coverage is appropriate and digestible for most students. I especially like the real-world, pop culture examples that lead into chapter discussions. It is a great way to relate to students and provides them with perspective.” — Kaylyn A.S. Flanigan, Bowling Green State University
“I thought that the chapters were well written, and it really sounded like a professor in front of the classroom having a human conversation with their students about the topics.” — Nicha Otero, University of Arkansas Fort Smith
“I feel that the choice of words is appropriate for first or second year college students. This is much simpler to read than other texts I have used. I think this really provides an explanation in the words a student would use/understand.” — Laura Crosetti, Finger Lakes Community College

Daniel M. Wegner
Daniel Wegner was the John Lindsley Professor of Psychology in Memory of William James at Harvard University. He received his B.S. in 1970 and Ph.D. in 1974, both from Michigan State University. He began his teaching career at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas, before his appointments at the University of Virginia in 1990 and then Harvard University in 2000. He was a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the recipient of the William James Award from the Association for Psychological Science, the Award for Distinguished Scientific Contributions from the American Psychological Association, and the Distinguished Scientist Award from the Society of Experimental Social Psychology. His research focused on thought suppression and mental control, transactive memory in relationships and groups, and the experience of conscious will. His work on thought suppression and consciousness served as the basis of two popular books, White Bears and Other Unwanted Thoughts and the Illusion of Conscious Will, both of which were named Choice Outstanding Academic Books. He died in 2013.
