The focus on behaviour and empiricism has produced a text that is better organized, has fewer chapters, and is somewhat shorter than many of the leading books. The beginning of each section includes learning objectives; throughout the body of each section are key terms in bold followed by their definitions in italics; key takeaways, and exercises and critical thinking activities end each section.4312018-09-07T17:22:01Z2024-01-22T14:52:11ZResearch Methods in Psychology - 2nd Canadian Edition<img alt="Read more about Research Methods in Psychology - 2nd Canadian Edition" title="Research Methods in Psychology - 2nd Canadian Edition cover image" class="cover " width="625" height="809" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MzYwLCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--338566967949d29725b648f2d6ee08a579bfeb3f/0000ResMetCan.png" />The present adaptation constitutes the second Canadian edition and was co-authored by Rajiv S.

What are the meanings of dreams? How do illusions work? With whom are you most likely to fall in love? These are just a few of the questions that have been asked by psychologists since the birth of the field as an area of scientific research in the 1870’s. This text surveys the basic concepts, theories, and pivotal findings over the past 100 years in the science of Psychology, with special emphasis on contemporary concepts and findings focused on the relation of the brain to normal and pathological behaviors. Psychology has long evolved past the psychodynamic influence to include biological, social, learning, motivational, and developmental perspectives, to name a few. Contemporary psychologists go beyond philosophical or anecdotal speculation and rely on empirical evidence to inform their conclusions. Similarly, readers will push beyond pre-existing schemas and misconceptions of the field of psychology to an understanding of contemporary quantitative research methods as they are used to predict and test human behavior.10302021-08-02T14:41:46Z2024-02-06T19:53:41ZPrinciples of Social Psychology - 1st International Edition<img alt="Read more about Principles of Social Psychology - 1st International Edition" title="Principles of Social Psychology - 1st International Edition cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="453" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MjY4OCwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--bcfabc53562aa87925963ed1342d9cad215ad574/OTB025-02-principles-of-social-psychology-1st-international-edition-2018-COVER-STORE-350x453.jpg" />Helping students organize their thinking about social psychology at a conceptual level.
