Psychology: Concepts and Applications has been developed based upon the author's research on how students best learn from a textbook. It presents a concept-based modular organization focused on four key objectives: to enhance learning, engage student interest, sharpen critical thinking skills, and incorporate technology as a tool for learning. The text provides a broad perspective on psychology that covers the history, methods of research, major theories, and research findings of the discipline, as well as applications of the knowledge gained from contemporary research to the problems and challenges we face in today's world. - Preface.
