Book Preface

Psychology is fascinating, and so relevant to our everyday lives. Psychology’s insights enable students to be more successful in their courses, more tuned-in as friends and partners, more effective as co-workers, and wiser as parents. With this new edition, we hope to captivate students with what psychologists are learning about our human nature, and to help them think more like psychological scientists and appreciate the wonders of their own lives. Psychological science has the potential to expand their minds and enlarge their hearts—to supplement their intuition with critical thinking, restrain their judgmentalism with compassion, and replace their illusions with understanding. Just as introductory psychology teachers differ, introductory psychology resources differ. They vary in quality, effectiveness, and ease of use. With help from Worth Publishers, we’ve heard from hundreds of psychology instructors like you who have told us about their needs and concerns, and about the challenges faced by their students. Here are ten frequently mentioned issues, and how we’ve responded with this Psychology, Twelfth Edition text and resources.

“I would like my students to come to class better prepared.” Our Resources Are Carefully Designed to Help Students Learn, and Care About Their Learning We and our team work hard to create top-quality resource materials. To encourage students to read assigned material, we aim to communicate psychology’s story with crisp writing, vivid storytelling, and occasional humor. After gathering input from many hundreds of instructors and their students over the years—much of it unsolicited—I [DM] have learned much about how to engage students effectively. My co-author, Nathan DeWall (an award-winning teacher from the University of Kentucky) and I communicate often about how best to reach students so they can share our fascination, and ultimately find success in the course (and in their lives). We get help from our team of editors, who work with us line-by-line on the text manuscript, and screen-by-screen for online activities. Equal care and attention are given to the text’s Instructor’s Resources and assessment materials. Our text chapters for this new edition went through six to seven drafts, and all other resources also went through multiple drafts. This creative process is intense and requires our daily focus. From the moment we wake to when we sleep, we collect, critique, and create new information that will expand students’ minds and hearts. Working through what is often over one thousand edits and comments in a given chapter can be daunting! But we think it’s worth it in the end to give students the best possible chance at success in this life-relevant course. With the support of Worth Publishers, our author and editorial team has no rival in its investment of time and energy to maximize excellence for optimal student enjoyment and enrichment.
Students Love This Book Students seem to appreciate the effort. They read the book! We get a stream of wonderfully encouraging, and sometimes funny, letters from appreciative students. (See the back cover of this text for a few more examples.) “Mr. Myers: I have been reading . . . your Psychology textbook. . . . The way you write and explain makes me feel like we’re buddies.” –FROM AN ANONYMOUS STUDENT “Your text goes above and beyond; your command of language, the . . . witty remarks and puns, the frequent inclusion of concrete psychological experiments pertaining to the . . . subject. I often found myself nodding my head while reading along, as I felt like the information I was taking in was substantiated with real life applications.” –FROM SABRINA HALAVI, SANTA MONICA COLLEGE Students also love the online learning resources. We hear repeatedly that students benefit from the LearningCurve formative quizzing system and use
