Synopsis

The Study Guide augments the Active Review study materials built into every chapter of the textbook. Introductory sections in the study guide provide tips on developing critical-thinking skills, studying Linkages, reading a textbook, and developing writing skills. For each chapter of the text--including the optional Industrial/Organizational Psychology and Neuropsychology chapters--the guide presents learning objectives, key term hints and examples, Concepts and Exercises sections that demonstrate application of psychology to everyday issues, Critical-Thinking Exercises, and several Personal Learning Activities. A section of each chapter called "What Should I Write About?" provides advice on how to choose an appropriate term paper topic related to the chapter. Finally, each chapter concludes with two multiple-choice quizzes with wrong-answer rejoinders and a self-diagnostic quiz analysis to pinpoint weaknesses in topic and cognitive skill areas.
