This acclaimed classroom favorite makes the science of psychology (and through that, the process of science itself) come alive for students, with personal stories that exemplify important concepts in a student-friendly way, and with coverage of the field’s scientific foundations and advances that is accessible without being oversimplified.

The substantially updated new edition extends the book’s focus on developing scientific literacy in the context of psychology, with new features in print and in the book’s new online course space, LaunchPad. These features are the result of the book’s most dramatic addition—Sandra Hockenbury’s new writing partnership with co-author, Susan Nolan, who shares her belief that the introductory course can help all kinds of students develop a real understanding of psychology and lasting scientific literacy without sacrificing the field’s research core.

This acclaimed classroom favorite makes the science of psychology (and through that, the process of science itself) come alive for students, with personal stories that exemplify important concepts in a student-friendly way, and with coverage of the field’s scientific foundations and advances that is accessible without being oversimplified.

The substantially updated new edition extends the book’s focus on developing scientific literacy in the context of psychology, with new features in print and in the book’s new online course space, LaunchPad. These features are the result of the book’s most dramatic addition—Sandra Hockenbury’s new writing partnership with co-author, Susan Nolan, who shares her belief that the introductory course can help all kinds of students develop a real understanding of psychology and lasting scientific literacy without sacrificing the field’s research core.

Features

Sandra Hockenbury and Susan Nolan

The enduring, distinctive voice of Psychology is hallmark Hockenbury and Nolan. As teachers and writers and researchers--and also travelers and friends and people with families—these authors readily engage the reader with relatable, everyday examples that make abstract concepts understandable. This book’s narrative approach is often praised as an effective teaching method, helping to link familiar stories to important concepts and ideas. As part of this approach, the 8th edition includes two new Chapter Prologues: "Identical Twins?" (Chapter 11, Personality) helps us understand personality differences through the incredible story of Colombian twins switched at birth; and "The EyeWriter" (Chapter 7, Thinking, Language, and Intelligence) introduces a team whose problem-solving and creativity enables a graffiti artist paralyzed by ALS to create art.

Emphasis on Scientific Literacy and Scientific Thinking

With Hockenbury and Nolan’s Psychology, introductory psychology students will gain a solid understanding of the scientific nature of the discipline. In every chapter, students are guided through details of experiments and studies, helping them to see how the scientific method is applied. This emphasis includes trademark Science Versus Pseudoscience boxes; Critical Thinking boxes, especially "How to Think Like a Scientist"; and Think Like a Scientist, the acclaimed digital activities authored by Sandra Hockenbury and Susan Nolan specifically for Psychology.

Cultural and Gender Coverage

Sandra Hockenbury and Susan Nolan are committed to expanding students’ awareness of cultural and gender influences, with a rich program of main-text discussion, focused boxes, and prominent illustrations.

New to This Edition

Major Updates
Hundreds of new references. New sections on important research developments and trends in a wide range of areas such as sleep stages, impacts of the “gig economy,” “learning styles,” autism spectrum disorder, animal personality, increasing access to mental health care, and the use of social media for diagnosis.


Curating Psychology: Streamlining Coverage for Effective Instruction
As part of the significant updates in this edition, Sandra Hockenbury and Susan Nolan have taken very seriously their role as curators of psychology, helping the instructor of introductory psychology to survey the vast field without overwhelming beginning students in details and data. Just as important as choosing what new studies to add and which research trends to emphasize is choosing which topics to condense, reorganize, or deemphasize. In Psychology 8e, the authors have carefully asked themselves again and again, “What does the introductory student need to know?” The end result: Despite significant new material, each chapter in the 8th edition is pages shorter than in the previous edition, and even more effectively focused for an introductory audience.


Pedagogical System
Carefully designed to help students identify important information, test for retention, and learn how to learn. Sandra Hockenbury and Susan Nolan continue to adapt and improve Psychology’s proven system; in this edition,  replacing the Key Points section, new visual end-of-chapter Concept Maps show the relationships among concepts and help students consolidate memory of new information. And, in recognition of the far more effective self-testing opportunity available in LearningCurve, the static, in-text Concept Reviews of previous editions have been dropped. Now, at the end of major sections, there is more emphasis on prompting students to test their understanding with LearningCurve’s adaptive quizzing.


Increased Integration of Successful Digital Package
In addition to Psychology’s unique, acclaimed Think Like a Scientist feature, highlighted in the margins of each chapter is an all-new array of LaunchPad videos and activities that have been carefully selected by Sandra Hockenbury and Susan Nolan for precise relevance to specific topics as they are covered in this edition.

New Media Option!
Achieve Read & Practice
Achieve Read & Practice
marries Macmillan Learning’s mobile-accessible eBook with the acclaimed LearningCurve adaptive quizzing. It is an easy-to-use yet exceptionally powerful teaching and learning option that streamlines the process of increasing student engagement and understanding. instructors can assign reading simply, students can complete assignments on any device, and the cost is significantly less than that of a printed book.

With Achieve Read & Practice:
• Instructors can arrange and assign chapters and sections from the eBook in any sequence they prefer.
• Assignments come with LearningCurve quizzes offering individualized question sets, feedback, and eBook references that adapt to correct and incorrect answers. If students struggle with a particular topic, they are encouraged to re-read the material and answer a few short additional questions.
• The Read & Practice gradebook tracks student performance individually and for the whole class, helping instructors prepare for class and one-on-one discussions.

Sandy received her B.A. from Shimer College and her M.A. from the University of Chicago, where she was also a research associate at the Institute of Social and Behavioral Pathology. Prior to co-authoring Psychology and Discovering Psychology, Sandy worked for several years as a psychology editor in both academic and college textbook publishing. Sandy has also taught as an adjunct faculty member at Tulsa Community College.
