Introductory Psychology
An Introduction to Psychological Science, 4th Canadian Edition
Krause, Corts, Smith
An Introduction to Psychological Science presents students with a model for scientific literacy; this model forms the core of how this text is written and organized. We believe a scientific literacy perspective and model will prove useful in addressing two course needs we often hear from instructors—to provide students with a systematic way to categorize the overwhelming amount of information they are confronted with, and to cultivate their curiosity and help them understand the relevance, practicality, and immense appeal of psychological science.
