Psychology is designed to help you learn to think like a psychologist, and to understand why scientific and critical thinking is so important to the decisions you make in your own life. Updating the vision of longtime authors Carole Wade and Carol Tavris, new co-authors Samuel Sommers and Lisa Shin breathe new life into the text through modern pop culture references and coverage of real-world events.

The 13th Edition includes new and updated content to ensure an up-to-date overview of the discipline. The inclusion of the latest research in each chapter reflects progress in the field and cutting-edge discoveries. And the authors report new findings from biology and neuroscience wherever relevant.
