How to Think Like a Psychologist: Critical Thinking in Psychology

by Donald H. McBurney

Students often find the content and methods of their introductory psychology course to be very different from what they expected. In this revision of his supplemental text. Donald H. McBurney explores common questions students ask about psychology. While addressing misconceptions, McBurney reinforces an understanding of basic concepts via a question-and-answer format. Topics are keyed to chapters of typical introductory psychology texts, and everyday examples and exercises that encourage students to think critically and relate the material to their own lives are featured throughout the book.

This text is appropriate for freshman through senior-level courses in Introductory Psychology, Research Methods, Critical Thinking, Educational Research, or other courses that deal with philosophical and methodological assumptions of psychology.

Ciekawe, chociaż styl niezbyt przystępny jak dla mnie

I felt like most of the examples used were very outdated. The author wrote like the reader was very unintelligent. A lot of this seemed to be common knowledge and I just don't see how this will be useful in the future.

Lots of questions. This was a fun read for me. I liked the "to-the-point" theme.

“Go fry Ice”

This book is a cheeky but informative book designed to help readers change their perspective of what common sense is and to start thinking more like impartial psychologist.
