Son received a 3.4
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I am guessing this is a good book as my son got a 3.4 in class, But better than that was the sellers response to my need. We purchased this book at the last minute and seller got this out to me immediately. Thank you
Liked it!

I must say, this Psychology textbook is very helpful and actually interesting. It isn't chock full of hard to understand definitions. Rather, the author explains all the concepts using simple ideas and relative examples, and incorporating many pictures and tables/graphs. The loose-leaf edition also makes life so much easier.
Best Pick for an introduction to the study of psychology
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I teach an IB Psychology course and this is by far the best introduction to psychology text I have read and used in my course. Kalat does a fantastic job integrating current research into each major topic and even provides summaries of key studies providing their hypotheses, methods, results, and key points from their discussions. What's more, Kalat offers questions that stretch across Bloom's levels of questioning. Perhaps most importantly, my students love this book and read it with pleasure! And these are high school students! Finally, unlike other detailed psychology texts, this text is very digestible! It is very well organized and structured. It includes clear diagrams and visuals that really help my students. Kalat's style of writing is not only enjoyable to me, but my students really enjoy it! It is very intelligent, but warm and friendly. I HIGHLY recommend this book for any advanced psychology high school course or introduction to psychology course in college.
Great
