Title overview

The World of Psychology provides students a solid introduction to the diverse field of psychology - and how it applies to their lives. Reading about psychology is not enough. Students should be able to practise what they have learned. What better way to teach material and make it fresh, interesting, and memorable than to have students demonstrate principles for themselves. The World of Psychology promotes student involvement through the use of rhetorical questions and unique “Try It” and “Apply It” features. Through these interactive activities students become active participants in the learning process rather than simply passive recipients of information.
