Today's classrooms, comprised of students from various cultures, text material needs to appeal to a wider audience and challenge students to think more deeply about the broader social context. I do not see any significant grammatical errors in the text.Īlthough the text is not culturally offensive, it does lack cultural depth. There is a high amount of congruency between the outcomes, the content, examples, exercises, and key points. There are no elements that may distract the reader from the topical area being covered. The examples and features are crisp and clear. Navigation through the chapter is clear and direct. The text does not appear to present issues related to interface. The author appears to have set up a predictable cadence to each chapter beginning with learning outcomes, chapter content, and ending with a synopsis of key points. The organization of the text is superb and consistent throughout the text.

The chapter gives a sufficient amount of information to the reader to answer the critical thinking questions posed at the end of the chapter. The content areas are directly aligned with the learning objectives presented at the beginning of the chapter and flow into the key summary points very well. For example, if you are seeking to provide students a broader sense of how internal emotions and cognitions along with external social events interface, you will have to create your own addendum to the chapter content.Įach chapter covers a specific topical area in psychology that is later expanded upon in the chapter. For those seeking to give a student a more holistic view of psychology, the text is limited. Within each chapter, there is consistency between the concept presented, its description, and the examples used to further elucidate its meaning. There are intra-correlations made within each chapter however, there are few inter-connections made between different chapters. The beginning of the chapter presents clear learning objectives, which serve as an expectational guide, and ends with a summary of key points to consider. Further, the design of each chapter lends itself to clarity. The examples provided seem to be relevant and compelling. Also the demonstration videos provide further clarity on the content. Frankly, I think the author does a superb job at addressing the heart of the theoretical matter. The text is written with an adequate amount of clarity and directness. Additionally, the surgent topic of mindfulness practice is not covered nor the relevance of Neuroscience in our understanding the connection between the brain and human behavior. There is a section dedicated to addressing "positive emotions," although it is limited. To this extent, the text seems to present a conventional view of psychology with dash of 21st century psychology. For example, the emergence of Positive Psychology and Neuroscience have provided a new and fascinating lens through which we look at human behavior. These theories form the bedrock of our disciple upon which new research is laid upon. For example, Freud's Personality Theory or Zimbardo's Social Psychological contributions. There are topical areas in psychology that are ubiquitous to the field. Topical areas are presented in an unbiased, factual manner however, the exercises on critical thinking provide the student an opportunity to think more "contextually" about the information presented. I find that the text content provides an accurate portrayal of the field. For professors who want to be more indulgent in the content, the author provides a section on "exercises and critical thinking." The questions posed appear to be sufficiently provocative and relevant.

The content area named "key takeaways" give the reader a nice annotated summary of important topical areas. Additionally, the learning objectives at the beginning of the chapter give a clear roadmap to the reader.

In particular, I appreciated this author's approach to human development, which tends to be a content heavy area. This text sufficiently covers the subfields in psychology, without bogging down the reader in the intricacies of our discipline. The author's approach to relevant topical areas is an overarching one. Hence, this text seems to be a good selection for this type of student. Since most of our students are not psychology majors, texts oriented towards giving a student an adequate primer of the field are preferred.
