Psychology (Custom Edition for California State University, Northridge)

Instructors and students alike experience frustration during lectures when students are unprepared for class. The goal of this text book is to focus on students and motivate them to learn. Written in a style that draws readers into an ongoing dialogue about psychology. The aim is to help introduce readers to psychology-its history, its breadth, its mysteries, and its applications. We hope that students are inspired to use the study materials that accompany their text. Students want to do well, and they are motivated when goals are clearly laid out and they know content will "be on the test." By creating an integrated learning and assignment package, we hope to encourage students to focus on the learning objectives and assist instructors in continually assessing students progress in mastering these objectives.
