Full Description
Principles of Psychology: Contemporary Perspectives offers students a complete introduction to psychology. It balances contemporary approaches with classic perspectives, weaves stimulating conceptual issues throughout the text, and encourages students to think critically, creatively, and practically about the subject and how it applies to the real-world. It opens with an introduction to the study of psychology at undergraduate level and the positioning of psychology as a science (including coverage of some of its methods), before going on to look at the core domains of study typical in many European programmes and set out in the British Psychological Society guidelines. The carefully developed pedagogical scheme is focused on getting students to think critically about the subject and to engage with its methodological elements, and on demonstrating real-world relevance.
