Every chapter engages students through illustrative examples and cases, thought-provoking questions, and real psychological research.
Updated with recent research that underscores the importance and power of psychology in everyday life, the fourth edition of Real World Psychology invites curiosity in a Why-focused framework of special features. Why Scientific Thinking Matters develops scientific thinking skills through examination of a hot topic or common belief and the research supporting or disproving different perspectives, Why DEI Matters explores important topics in diversity, equity, and inclusion, highlighting current research and its applications in effecting a more equitable society, and Why Positive Psychology Matters demonstrates how psychological science helps identify the strengths and assets that contribute to health and a flourishing life.
