Synopsis:

This third edition of a mid-to-high-level psychology text includes updated "in-review" boxes and features on linkages and thinking critically, and the linkage programme has been revised and streamlined for easier use. A new chapter on research methods provides an overview of the various ways in which psychologists study data, and establishes the research foundation for the remainder of the text. It illustrates the steps taken in evaluating a research issue and introduces critical thinking. Recent scholarship is integrated throughout, and coverage of DSM-IV is included, together with over a thousand new citations, many from 1993 and 1994, and recent research on sociocultural issues. Ancillary package available upon adoption.
