Explore all the key fields of Psychology in one essential textbook Psychology is the internationally best-selling introduction to one of the world''s most exciting sciences. This invaluable, accessible text covers every major branch in the field and will help you discover and engage with classic and contemporary topics, theories and applications. The 7th edition has been extensively revised and updated with over 1,000 new references, a major new section on replication in psychology and a new interview feature offering insights into the work of 14 leading researchers and practitioners. Richly illustrated throughout with examples from across the globe, each chapter is packed with a range of features, connecting the diverse strands of the subject and bringing it to life. These include: An Interview with: an exciting new feature for the 7th edition, providing a fascinating insight into the life and work of researchers and practitioners working in a broad range of roles and fields including clinical, health and educational psychology Spotlight on: 56 recent studies highlighting significant or unusual research from across the field, such as whether using a laptop to take notes in lectures is effective, the limits of neuroimaging, mate choice and eye colour, using Twitter language to predict the risk of heart disease and how do you get people to eat insects? Controversies in Psychological Science: encouraging you to question and reflect upon the complex nature of topics within the field, promoting critical thinking and debate on questions such as: Can you tell a liar from a truth-teller? Are there universally attractive body types? Do learning styles exist? Is fMRI research reliable? Do Davids and Denices die sooner? Can personality predict health? Is there a gene for depression? Psychology in Action: highlighting the link between theory and application, considering a range of real-world examples, such as the use of face-recognition technology; jury decision-making; understanding bullying; how terrorists are made; how people react during emergencies; maintaining weight loss; how to protect yourself against fake news and the advantages of swearing. International Perspectives: providing a comparative global perspective on topics such as psychological responses to COVID-19, conspiracies, attraction, the perception of scents, face processing, exercise and healthy eating, age of onset of mental disorder and many others.
