With a strong applied focus, WHAT IS PSYCHOLOGY? ESSENTIALS captures and
holds students' attention from the first page to the last. Ellen Pastorino
and Susann Doyle-Portillo, award-winning psychology professors with an
infectious enthusiasm for teaching, have found that students who are
curious are motivated to explore and truly learn how psychological concepts
are connected. This text incorporates the authors' successful and engaging
teaching approach, unlocking students' curiosity with compelling, chapter-
opening stories of real people that show students how psychology affects
their everyday lives. Embedded critical-thinking questions motivate students
to continue making connections between personal stories, applications to
their own lives, and psychological concepts they will use outside of the
classroom. Diversity is addressed in every chapter through integration of
issues of gender, race, culture, ethnicity, and sexuality. A comprehensive
media package features videos, the PowerLecture. CD with readymade lecture
slides, eAudio downloads for students, and an online student tutorial
featuring personalized study plans and automatic grading.
