Feature Summary
Connecting nature and nurture. Feist and Rosenberg explore the interplay of nature and nurture throughout the text, breaking down any preconceived misconceptions students may have about a nature OR nurture dichotomy. This is accomplished in the narrative and in recurring marginal Nature/Nurture features.
Connecting psychologists and their scientific discoveries. “Breaking New Ground” sections in each chapter highlight breakthrough discoveries that have fundamentally altered the field of psychology.
Connecting key concepts within the chapter. Making Connections sections at the conclusion of each chapter reiterate the major ideas in the chapter and show how they can be applied to a common problem.
Connecting topics and subfields across chapters. "Connection" marginal features emphasize links among subdisciplines of psychology, reminding students that psychology is an integrated discipline and not a hodgepodge of topics thrown together.
Connecting Psychology with Student Experiences. In the narrative and in Psychology in the Real World features in each chapter, the authors consistently demonstrate the ways that psychology impacts students' everyday lives.
Biological art inserts. Recognizing that biological concepts and structures are often some of the more difficult aspects for Introductory Psychology students to master, Feist and Rosenberg include transparency inserts in the text to foster better understanding of this material.
