David L. Roby, Texas Southmost College

"The authors have done an excellent job of associating what is learned in this text to students’ everyday lives."

Anita P. Tam, Greenville Technical College

"The authors have done a fantastic job in relating the concepts to real-life examples throughout the text. Even the pictures/graphics reflect real-world applications that are interesting and engaging."

"The graphics and illustrations are clear and engaging, especially the ones that highlight real life applications. The infographics, tables, and graphs are all helpful in clarifying the specific concepts being covered."

Jon Mandracchia, Missouri Western State University

"I really like the style in which it is written - it seems more "accessible" to the broad range of students who will take an intro level psychology course."

Angela B. Dortch, Ivy Tech Community College

"Cross-cultural facts, research, seem significantly, boldly woven into the chapter -- quite impressive."

"The ingenuity shown in the infographics cannot be understated. The illustrations, captions, photos, helps students connect to everyday experiences, daily realities."

"This illustration program is superior by far to other textbooks. The psychological concepts plus the definitions presented in the textbox with color highlight emphasizes location, and connection to specific chapter sections. The color schemes used in the Figures makes the info come alive. The Thinking Critically About infographic helps students use applied learning. It is one thing to memorize the definition of the availability heuristic, but the infographic hones in, asks students to think about info often stuck in our memory. Honestly, the pictures and captions entice the reader to know more, even prompts students to read to know more."

"The research and examples connect in myriad ways to current events, everyday psychology. In comparison to the chapter in my current text, the chapter eight research selections, the diverse pictures, infographics, illustrations, far exceed the current text. The care, the concern, to include such diverse features in the chapter make it easily usable internationally, globally."

Edie Sample, Metropolitan Community College

"The information is interesting and comprehensive and includes a keen balance of current and classic studies. The narrative is also conversational and readable. (I've always appreciated Myers' writing style.) Overall, the organization flows well."

Martin Lance, Forsyth Technical Community College and ECPI College

"The depth yet clear writing of this text is superior to my current textbook and I think would be more engaging to the students and more interesting to teach from for me."

"Very well organized by information and by visual appeal. I like the thoughtful questions throughout the text."

Kellie McCants-Price, Anne Arundel Community College

"The authors have done a great job making the topics in the chapter relevant to everyday life... It is certainly better than what is provided in the Open Stax text."

"The illustrations in the chapter are great!"

"Overall, I believe this is one of the best sex & gender chapters I have read in an introductory psychology textbook. The organization is great! I believe my students would enjoy the chapter."

Thelisa E. Nutt, Tarrant County College

"I believe students are getting their moneys worth with this textbook. I say that because of the chapter content & the appearance of the textbook. It reads really smooth. I love how while reading the chapter little tidbits of the authors were included."

Dann Hazel, Polk State College

"Just this year, I began to assign the videos on LaunchPad as required supplements to the chapter. I frequently hear praise about the videos."

Todd J. Smith, Morehead State University

"Every time an institution asked me to go to a different book I inevitably came back to this one. Students engage with this book. It has ease of reading without sacrificing content. It has good coverage of classics with good inclusion of modern science."

Jessica Fede, Johnson and Wale University

"The therapy chapter is a well written chapter. I believe you hit the essential topics that need to be included in an Introductory Psychology textbook on therapy. You include all the major theorist along with the various bio-medical techniques currently used. The chapter is easy to read and for students to understand. Students report that they like the subheadings and practice questions."

Andrea Brown, College of Southern Nevada

"I'm impressed and pleased with the applications to everyday life included in the chapter."

"I absolutely love the textbook! I've received positive feedback from my students and noticed improvements in grades since adopting Psychology in Everyday Life 3 years ago. The text works well in my courses because students do not find the readings intimidating and therefore some are more motivated to complete assigned readings. The study aides (e.g. Chapter Tests, Retrieve and Remember) included in each chapter help students with chapter quizzes and exams."

Carol Wilkinson, Whatcom Community College

"This book is economical, current, interesting, and easy to reduce in size for the quarter system. For 20 years now, I have appreciated Myers (and now DeWall's also) premises on how to write an intro book. I love how the sections are numbered so I can have students easily understand which sections to read or to skip."

Douglas Dinero, Onondaga Community College

"It is nice to see that much of the research cited is relatively recent, from the last 5-10 years. I also like how the citations are slightly smaller than the rest of the text, so they're not too distracting for those who aren't used to reading text with frequent citations. The neuroscience material can be difficult and boring to newcomers to psychology, but it is presented in a way that is interesting and relatable."

"I've always liked David Myers' style of writing since I took my first psychology class almost 20 years ago. I find it very readable and relatable. This abbreviated text works well with my community college students in that it presents a great deal of material in a digestible way, without sacrificing any of the intellectual rigor of the more comprehensive version. I also like how this book strives to relate the material to situations the reader is experiencing in their life. For many of my students, this is the only exposure to psychology they will get, so it helps to make it as relatable as possible."
