Title overview

Psychology offers a learner-centered, assessment-driven approach that maximizes engagement. Authors Saundra Ciccarelli and J. Noland White draw you into the discipline by showing how psychology relates to your own life. An engaging writing style makes course concepts interesting. Accessible coverage of key research facilitates a thorough understanding of the discipline. And a hands-on approach, with various in-text activities, gets you learning actively.

The authors have reimagined the 7th Edition to align with the APA Introductory Psychology Initiative Student Learning Outcomes. This approach emphasizes the key themes of the discipline to help you better master concepts. And an extensive review through the lens of diversity, equity and belonging ensures a fully up-to-date presentation of the discipline.
