- Synopsis
-
The 4th edition of Introduction to Psychology I is the most current introductory textbook available. It continues to present contrasting theoretical perspectives, while maintaining a strong scientific orientation to the study of psychology. For instance, while the text emphasizes a strong scientific perspective, it also presents competing points of view on several of the most important topics, including animal language, behavioral disorders and their treatment, and issues in social psychology. Some of the most noticeable changes to the 4th edition include the following:
- The addition of a section on sport psychology
- Updated statistics on drug use
- New research on how sleep functions to maintain brain homeostasis
- New research on the neurobiology of emotions and the role of stress in disease
- Revised discussion of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, its pathology, and its treatment
- Revised discussion of the pathology and treatment of schizophrenia
- New research on stereotype threat and sex differences
- Updated discussion of facial symmetry and physical attractiveness
These enhancements help ensure a textbook that will provide the most current introduction to the science of psychology and behavior.
