Synopsis

Psychology: The Science of Behaviour, European Adaptation is the first truly "European" introductory textbook on the subject to be accompanied by a robust teaching and learning support package. Developed from the highly regarded US text by Neil R Carlson and William Buskist, this adaptation has been thoroughly restructured and has much new content to meet the needs of a European audience while retaining its comprehensive and rigorous coverage of the key elements of psychology.

Throughout the text, Psychology is treated as a dynamic, fascinating experimental and natural science. The book emphasises how the various subdisciplines are interrelated and presents research applications as well as the research itself. Students are asked throughout to employ the discovery method and to participate in the research process, learning and applying scientific method. In this way, they are better able to visualise and appreciate what the work and study of psychology is really like.

Quatrième de couverture

WelcomeWelcome to the second edition of Psychology, European Edition. You will not find a better introductory psychology textbook. Psychology is comprehensive and superbly written: it engages, it informs, it facilitates debate. It is a lively yet rigorous text, supported by a wealth of additional material on a Companion Website.

Psychology covers in depth and in lively and critical fashion all the major aspects of 1st year undergraduate psychology courses. The authors emphasise how the various sub-disciplines in psychology are interrelated. Importantly, the text covers not only new and important research but also the application of that research to real-life problems and situations, giving the book a genuine 'real world' approach to the subject.
