Where great science meets great teaching.
Psychology: Core Concepts, 7/e provides rich coverage of the foundational topics taught for introductory psychology. Each major section of every chapter is organized around a single concept, called a Core Concept. The Core Concepts allow readers to draw connections across the chapter and see the big picture of psychology. Learning is then reinforced through focused application and critical thinking activities. The 7th edition features an enhanced critical thinking emphasis, with new chapter-opening "Problems" and new end-of-chapter critical thinking applications that promote active learning.
MyPsychLab is an integral part of the Zimbardo / Johnson / McCann Hamilton program. Engaging activities and assessments provide a teaching and learning system that helps students think critically. With MyPsychLab, students can watch videos on psychological research and applications, participate in virtual classic experiments, and develop critical thinking skills through writing.
Psychology: Core Concepts, 7/e is available in a new DSM-5 Updated Edition. To learn more, click here.

Psychology: Core Concepts Plus NEW MyPsychLab with eText -- Access Card Package PDF
I'ts a school book; it was as advertised; can't really think of anything else to say about a school book. It was fineBy Bruce W. Bennett
The writing style of the book is casual and friendly. The authors seemed to go out of their way to create a text that was accessible. Throughout the book they speak directly to the reader, have sections on "how to use psychology to learn psychology" and make a point to provide a variety of ways (via mypsychlab) to deliver information. Because they're psychologists, they know that people have different learning styles and they try to help you.By constance
The access code is well worth it. My experience in getting to the mypsychlab was fraught with difficulty and incompetence.
- Access to the audio book of the textbook. This was a huge win for me. It is streaming audio only, which is sad. I would love to be able to listen to it in the car during my commute or while exercising.
- Flash card game. You can select the chapters, you can choose a quiz option, and you can print out the flash cards.YOU CAN PRINT THEM OUT! They even make the game accessible to your smartphone. It's not an app though. It should be an app.
- Study guides. For people who have trouble knowing how to take notes from the book or from lecture, the study guides address this with directed note taking outlines. There are glossary lists for you to look up definitions, chapter quizzes to help you prepare.
- Links to the podcast, which anyone can get to - the psych files.
- access to eText. This is downloadable.
Some complaints:
- The pages of the text are thin.
- The customer service at Pearson was very hit or miss. The third person I reached was able to give me the correct answer, that I needed my professor to provide a course id to me.
- You can't download the audio book.
- The flash card game should be an app.
