Synopsis

Written by Richard Stalling and Ronald Wasden both of Bradley University, an author team with more than 30 years of experience as a team in writing study guides for introductory psychology texts, the Study Guide helps students master the information in the text. It includes a review of key ideas for each chapter made up of an engaging mixture of matching exercises, fill-in-the-blank items, free-response questions, and programmed learning-organized around learning objectives written by Wayne Weiten. The Study Guide is closely coordinated with the Test Bank, as the same learning objectives guided the construction of questions in the Test Bank. The Study Guide also includes a review of key terms, a review of key people, and a self-test for each chapter.
