商品簡介
Rather than presenting psychology as an isolated discipline as traditional introductory texts do, Cacioppo (cognitive and social neuroscience, U. of Chicago) and Freberg (psychology, California State U., San Luis Obispo) treat psychology as a "hub science" in an integrative, multidisciplinary approach to the field. Integrative perspectives on the mind include the evolutionary, social, cognitive, biological, developmental, clinical, and individual differences/personality. The text concludes with a section on the recent branch of positive psychology. Chapters include "thinking scientifically" and "connecting to research" features, examples intended to be relevant to college students' experience, self-assessments, media resources, and color illustrations.
