Download medical books file now PRETITLE Introduction to Psychology [Print Replica] [Kindle Edition] POSTTITLE from mediafire, rapishare, and mirror link Jim Kalat's best-selling INTRODUCTION TO PSYCHOLOGY takes a "critical thinking" approach to the major theories and concerns of psychology. Kalat's blend of humorous writing style with fun, hands-on "Try It Yourself" activities, gives students an engaging learning experience that gets them involved with even the most intimidating concepts. This proven approach has won the text well-deserved praise from instructors and students alike. By prompting students to ask themselves questions like "How was this conclusion reached?" and "Does the evidence really support it?," Kalat encourages the use of scientific principles that psychologists utilize when attempting to answer questions about human intellect, emotion, and behavior. This approach helps students separate what merely sounds plausible from what is scientifically provable -- both in the psychology classroom and beyond it. With the text's carefully crafted content and pedagogy, as well as its supporting learning tools, students are able to see the study of psychology as an endeavor that has relevance to their scholastic and personal lives. The Ninth Edition builds upon the text's reputation for incorporating timely information that draws on the latest research and literature. *Please Note: Media content referenced within the product description or the product text may not be available in the ebook version.Direct download links available for PRETITLE Introduction to Psychology POSTTITLE

Introduction to Psychology PDF

I took a Intro. to Psychology course as a Prerequisite for Nursing school. Kalat explains everything clearly with great pictures,charts,examples, graphs, etc. I got an A in the course and I give the book an A as well. I also highly recommend the study guide that goes along with this book, it came in very handy and is complete with practice tests for each chapter.

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.
