Invitation to Psychology, 8th Edition, is a textbook that weaves scientific and critical thinking into the study of psychological science. It prompts readers to evaluate claims carefully, separate fact from fiction, and distinguish wishful thinking from thinking wisely.
Key areas of focus include the biological foundations of behavior, sensation, perception, and states of consciousness. The volume also surveys cognitive processes such as memory and intelligence, lifespan development, and clinical approaches to psychological disorders.
To show how psychological concepts apply to daily life, the 2022 edition adds coverage of real-world events and popular culture, including the broad implications of the COVID-19 pandemic.
