Psychology

Psychology, 7th Edition, by James S. Nairne and Dawn M. McBride, published by SAGE Publications, Inc., is a textbook that connects psychological principles with everyday experiences. The text applies a learning framework based on the scientific process to explain how people encounter psychological phenomena in daily life.

The volume prepares students to examine when, why, and how mental and behavioral processes occur by first considering their underlying purpose. In this framework, psychological processes are presented as functional tools that help individuals address significant personal and social challenges.

Pedagogical resources integrated throughout the text include concept reviews, self-tests, critical thinking exercises, and active chapter summaries designed to support retrieval practice and scientific literacy.
