Psychology (3rd Edition)

Psychology (3rd Edition) by Saundra K. Ciccarelli and J. Noland White continues to be one of the most successful textbooks for entry-level psychology students because of its engaging writing style, excellent research, and student-centered quality. Already on its 3rd edition, it has been updated based on the suggestions and feedback of previous users. Psychology (3rd Edition) - ISBN 9780205832576 provides an excellent pedagogical framework that both the instructor and the students find effective. This textbook does not just encourage memorization purposes, but actually allows students to understand psychology in a way that it relates to their everyday life. Often humorous and entertaining, the book starts with a discussion of psychology in action. It even dispenses tips on surviving college and improving grades, peppered with witty notes such as 'textbooks are not meatloaf' and 'printing out PowerPoint slides is not taking notes.' The book is divided into 15 chapters and covers psychological disorders and therapies, theories of personality, social psychology, stress and health, sexuality and gender, and motivation and emotion. It discusses development across the lifespan, memory, cognition, thinking, intelligence, and language, and learning. Those who want a quick reference on consciousness, sleep, dreams, hypnosis, and drugs will find this edition very useful. A study tip feature and several new essays have likewise been added. To meet the changing learning patterns, the start and end of each chapter were also re-designed. Instructors have access to a resource manual, study guide, exclusive PowerPoint presentations, and a test bank, while students can do homework through an online supplement.
