This title provides a balanced consideration of functioning behaviour as well as dysfunction and a view of psychology as an integrated whole. This brief introduction to psychology also offers additional exercises to foster critical thinking skills and recurring emphases on how psychology applies to students' health and wellness.
Informed by student data, Experience Psychology helps students understand and appreciate psychology as an integrated whole. The personalized, adaptive learning program, thought-provoking examples, and interactive assessments help students see psychology in the world around them and experience it in everyday life. Experience Psychology is about, well, experience-our own behaviors; our relationships at home and in our com munities, in school, and at work; and our interactions in different learning environments. Grounded in meaningful real-world contexts, Experience Psychology's contemporary examples, personalized author notes, and applied exercises speak directly to students, allowing them to engage with psychology and to learn verbally, visually, and experientially-by reading, seeing, and doing. Function is introduced before dysfunction, building student understanding by looking first at typical, everyday behavior before delving into the less common-and likely less personally experienced-rare and abnormal behavior. Experience Psychology places the science of psychology, and the research that helps students see the academic foundations of the discipline, at the forefront of the course. With Experience Psychology, students do not just "take" psychology but actively experience it.
