Book Description:
The creation of this text and package is the result of the most extensive development investment in a text that this discipline has ever experienced. For the first edition and second edition, over 1,000 instructors and students contributed to decisions regarding issues such as organization, content coverage, pedagogical innovation, and writing style through feedback from reviews and focus groups. The third edition continues to carry the benefit of this input, and has been even further improved based on specific feedback from reviewers of the second edition, including expert reviewers for each major topic area who provided feedback on the currency and accuracy of the research. A full-time development editor analyzed this feedback on the previous edition and worked with the authors, editing the prose line-by-line for clarity. Student reviewers who had used the second edition in their introductory psychology class provided valuable input by evaluating the writing style and in-text learning tools; you will see some of these student reviewers in the photos included with the Student Voice questions. We are grateful to all who provided feedback on changes for the third edition text, as well as changes to the design—which we hope you find as inviting as we do!
