Essentials of Psychology--Study Guide

by Douglas A. Bernstein, Peggy W. Nash

The Study Guide augments the Active Review study materials built into every chapter of the textbook. Introductory sections in the study guide provide tips on developing critical-thinking skills, studying Linkages, reading a textbook, and developing writing skills. For each chapter of the text--including the optional Industrial/Organizational Psychology and Neuropsychology chapters--the guide presents learning objectives, key term hints and examples, Concepts and Exercises sections that demonstrate application of psychology to everyday issues, Critical-Thinking Exercises, and several Personal Learning Activities. A section of each chapter called "What Should I Write About?" provides advice on how to choose an appropriate term paper topic related to the chapter. Finally, each chapter concludes with two multiple-choice quizzes with wrong-answer rejoinders and a self-diagnostic quiz analysis to pinpoint weaknesses in topic and cognitive skill areas.
