About This Textbook

This book is designed to help students organize their thinking about psychology at a conceptual level. The focus on behaviour and empiricism has produced a text that is better organized, has fewer chapters, and is somewhat shorter than many of the leading books. Features of this textbook include:

  • Learning objectives,
  • Key terms with definitions,
  • Key takeaways, and
  • Exercises and critical thinking activities.
