Psychology in a Complex World

Psychology in a Complex World provides students with a brief and accurate survey of psychology in a cost-effective format. This turn-key online course package provides students with a broad overview of the multifaceted and exciting field of psychology.

The content covers everything from the biological basis of psychology to the well-known social psychology experiments (e.g., Stanford Prison Experiment). The team of authors of this text have training and expertise in research and the practice of psychology in many areas, including educational psychology, school psychology, cognitive psychology, developmental psychology, forensic psychology, social psychology, and clinical psychology.

Each of the ten chapters in Psychology in a Complex World:

• begin with learning objectives to forecast the key points within a given chapter.
• features pop-ups of important definitions when students can hover their cursor over a key term. This feature keeps the definitions readily available to the student as they read the text, which will enhance students’ learning.
• integrates updated, real-world examples of the concepts to help students apply the material outside of the text or psychological laboratory. Topics (i.e., intelligence) are discussed and reviewed from multiple perspectives to provide students a holistic understanding of a given concept.
• provides students with flash cards of key terms that they can use to further enhance their learning and recall.
