Psychology Around Us, Canadian Edition, 3rd Edition, is a textbook that explores core concepts across psychological science and their connection to daily life. It presents foundational theories alongside empirical research to examine human thought and behavior.
The volume addresses major areas of study, including sensation and perception, human development, and social psychology. It also examines motivation and emotion, personality, stress and coping, and the identification and treatment of psychological disorders.
To connect diverse areas of the discipline, every substantive chapter incorporates four foundational subfields: development, brain function, individual differences, and dysfunctions. Canadian research examples are highlighted throughout the text to ground core concepts in familiar contexts.
