I created an account (took several minutes) just to say how much I hate this book. Completely disorganized, typos, and extremely inconsistent information.
It is nearly impossible to take cohesive notes from this book. The font is tiny and the chapters are too big. Who edited this garbage? For well over $100, one should expect more out of a college textbook. I would seriously consider the credibility of a professor that requires this book for their class. Trash.

Güzel anlatım ve güzel konular. Ancak içinde bahsedilen çalışmalar 80'lerden 90'lardan kalma. Güncellenmesi daha verimli olabilir.

I want to read this book to enhance my skills knowledge

[cherry · Rating 2 out of 5]

This is the worst textbook I've used to date.
Exhibit A: the typos. I'm pretty sure "consc3iousness" is not a word.
Exhibit B: the quizzes. Multiple choice questions are supposed to be...just that. Multiple choice. Making B and C the same choice does not help me with deductive reasoning.
Exhibit C: unabashedly liberal? I understand that most textbooks lean this way, but I find it a bit ironic that my psych book tried to persuade me to an agenda.
Anyway, I learned some stuff I guess, but I won't even try to sell this one. It belongs in the garbage.

Konular ayrıntılı ve kapsamlı bir şekilde işlenmiş. Psikolojiye giriş dersi için son derece uygun. Araştırmacı öğrenciler için de verilerin kaynakça gösterimleri son derece titiz hazırlanmış, kitabın içeriği doğruluk bakımından da güvenilir.
