Bring the science of psychology to life

The 2nd Australasian edition of Psychology and Life emphasises the science of psychology, with a special focus on applying that science to students' everyday lives. As a result, the features of Psychology and Life support a central theme: psychology as a science, with a focus on applying that science to real life experiences. Australasian research, examples and statistics help make the theory even more relevant for today's students.

Psychology and Life provides a rigorous, research-centred survey of the discipline while offering students special features and learning aids that will make the science of psychology relevant, spark their interest and excite their imaginations.
