Essentials of Psychology offers many of the signature features included in the Sixth Edition of Bernstein et al., such as Thinking Critically, Focus on Research, and Linkages, in a concise, 14 chapter format. Extensive pedagogical support and a renewed emphasis on active learning encourage students to master concepts through interaction with the material. This "learn by doing" focus engages them by illustrating concepts in figures and photos, highlighting key points in the margin, and formally involving students in an active review--either in a writing exercise or a personal activity. In addition, the text content reflects the latest research, important in the field and of high interest to students. Topics include how drugs effect the brain, what determines and shapes personality, sources of sexual orientation, the effects of stress on health, the origins of intelligence, and more. The integrated pedagogical system helps students master the material using a PQ4R method: preview, question, read, recite, review, and reflect. Each chapter adheres to this structure, beginning with an outline and preview questions, continuing with marginal glossaries and instructional captions for read/recite; and finishing with In Review study charts and an Active Review. This built-in study guide provides students with a linkages diagram, chapter summary, a Learn by Doing section, Step into Action, a review of key terms, and a multiple choice self-test.
