Experience Psychology helps students appreciate psychology as an integrated whole. It is about, well, experience - our behaviors and our relationships at home, in school and work, in our communities. Experience Psychology places the science of psychology, the research that helps students see the foundations of the discipline, at the forefront of the course. Grounded in meaningful real-world contexts, the text's contemporary examples, personalized author notes, and applied exercises speak directly to students and support varied learning styles. Function is introduced before dysfunction, building understanding by looking first at typical, everyday behavior before delving into disordered behavior, emphasizing that psychology is about much more than abnormality. The personalized, adaptive learning program, thought-provoking examples, and interactive assessments help students synthesize the content. With Experience Psychology, students do not just "take" psychology; they actively experience it.
