About the Book

The new edition of this brief introductory text retains the hallmark features that have made its parent text unique in the market, while offering a more manageable, student-friendly format. The text's organization breaks down each chapter into smaller instructional units organized around a set of key concepts in a particular area of study. The text also features Nevid's comprehensive learning system derived from research on memory, learning, and textbook pedagogy. This learning model incorporates what the author calls the "Four Es of Effective Learning"--Engaging Student Interest, Encoding Information, Elaborating Meaning, and Evaluating Progress. Nevid's Essentials of Psychology: Concepts and Applications, 2/e, provides a broad view of psychology that includes 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. Major content revisions cover many of the 1,000-plus new citations of research findings and theoretical developments that have appeared in the scientific literature in the past three years. In addition the text offers the latest research findings in the areas of neuroscience, gender, and positive psychology.

Key Feature

  • Concept Signaling highlights both key concepts and key terms in the text margins.
  • Concept Charts are built-in study charts that offer "at-a-glance" summaries of key concepts in order to reinforce new knowledge.
  • Application Modules (the final module in each chapter) illustrate how psychologists apply the knowledge they have gained from their research studies to real-life problems and how concepts relate to students own lives. Topics include "Psychology and Pain Management," "Putting Reinforcement into Practice," "Becoming a Creative Problem Solver," and "Taking the Distress Out of Stress."
  • Thinking Critically About Psychology sections at the end of each chapter provide students with opportunities to sharpen their critical thinking skills by analyzing problems and evaluating claims relevant to chapter content.
  • Tying It Together sections at the end of the chapter help students review how the modules are integrated within the chapter structure as a whole.
  • The text employs the Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review (SQ3R) study method to enhance learning and encourage students to adopt a more active role in the learning process.
  • New coverage based on current research includes current findings on teens and hearing loss, sleep and memory consolidation (the "sleep on it" study), happiness research, links between negative emotions and cardiovascular disorders, stereotype threat applied to the stereotype that "girls can't do math," and much more.

New to this Edition
  • New! HM PsychSPACE encompasses the interactive online products and services integrated with Cengage Learning Psychology textbook programs. Students and instructors can access HM PsychSPACE content through text-specific websites and online learning platforms, including Eduspace, Cengage Learning's online course management system.
  • New! Interactive Concept Maps for Psychology are unique visual learning tools that help students visualize connections between key concepts. The concept maps are provided in a booklet that accompanies the text.
  • New! Concept Links highlighting connections among key concepts across chapters are integrated into the text margins, enabling students to see how these concepts are applied in different areas of psychology.
  • New! Diagramming Psychology icons identify figures in the text, many of which have been revised to more clearly represent, in schematic form, the sequential relationships among concepts.
  • New! Module Reviews designed to help students gauge their knowledge of the material, are divided into three sections: "Recite It," "Recall It," and "Think about It."
  • New! What Do You Think? questions at the start of each chapter expand on the critical-thinking features in the text.
