In Psychology: Themes and Variations, Seventh

Edition, Wayne Weiten opens students’ eyes to the

world of psychology by meeting three goals. First, he

shows both the unity and diversity of psychology’s

subject matter. Second, he illuminates the research

process and its connection to applications. And third,

ever mindful that a text is a teaching tool, he makes

the material challenging, yet easy to learn. How does

he do it? Weiten’s thematic integration and real-life

examples help students see beyond research to big-

picture concepts that connect them to the heart of

psychology. He integrates scientific rigor in a way that

students can understand by using a cohesive set of in-

text learning aids. Interactive multimedia and online

resources, linked to every text chapter, reinforce text

concepts and provide an additional path to learning.

I wish [Weiten] was my textbook instead of the one I have now. The practicalapplication is what I need, I will retain more information that way.Renee LanglosStudent who class-tested the textBaker College of Auburn Hills, Michigan

• New pedagogy, based on user feedback, includes learning objectives and multiple-choice tests in each module, and unit-level exams (including critical thinking exercises). Approximately 150 Concept Checks reinforce understanding by encouraging students to apply what they have learned.

• Students can print results from quizzes and simulations or e-mail them to instructors.

• Ten in-depth simulations explore complex psychological phenomena, helping students take an active role in experimentation. (See contents on page P-4.)

• A Video Selector gives students direct access to more than 35 video segments, which include footage of B. F. Skinner and cover such subjects as Little Albert and the Ames Room.

• A multimedia glossary includes detailed definitions of more than 800 terms, many with audio pronunciations and media illustrations.

Hands-on, interactive learning opportunitiesStudents learn while engaged by new graphics and interac-tive visuals. For instance, after reading about operant condi-tioning, they can reinforce their study with tutorials, videos,and a simulation. They can view footage of B. F. Skinnershaping a pigeon and then try their own hand at shapingMorphy, a virtual rat, as they interact with a simulation.

Exercises to measure students’ understandingConcept Checks, quizzes, and new multiple-choice tests in every module (added at the request of reviewers)reinforce learning, and provide immediate feedback. Results can be e-mailed to you.

Weiten consistently weaves seven overarching themes throughout the text to help students seethe connections among different areas of psychological research. Introduced in Chapter 1,“The Evolution of Psychology,” these themes capture the excitement and scientific basis of thefield while also helping students see beyond the facts to gain a broader and more meaningfulperspective.

Color-Coded Theme IconsTheme icons appear in theReflecting on the Chapter’s Themessections, which discuss connections between chaptercontent and the unifying themes.These icons (color-coded to beeasily recognizable throughoutthe text) help ensure that students understand and link the themes discussed within the chapter.

Seven Unifying Themes

1. Psychology is empirical.

2. Psychology is theoretically diverse.

3. Psychology evolves in a sociohistorical context.

4. Behavior is determined by multiple causes.

5. Our behavior is shaped by our cultural heritage.

6. Heredity and environment jointly influence behavior.

7. Our experience of the world is highly subjective.

Vivid new biological and anatomical illustrationsraise the bar on Weiten’s first-rate art program.

P-7

NEW! Art that teaches, by Fred HarwinThis edition includes more than 35 illustrations of thebrain, neurons, and other aspects of physiology by medicalillustrator Fred Harwin, award-winning creator of art formany of the nation’s medical textbooks. These illustrationsfeature consistent style and detail as well as the highestlevel of quality and scientific accuracy. Weiten workedclosely with Harwin, selecting art to be rendered and consulting on every detail.

Recognized for its art program, the text helps to bring concepts into focus through an effective combination of color, words, and art—in visuals, schematics, and six distinctiveoverview summaries.

Concept ChartsProviding students with yet another tool to guide their study and available to bepackaged with the text, a Concept Charts booklet features a colorful visual summaryof each chapter. Developed by Weiten, these newly designed charts are a great wayfor students to review chapter topics—and are particularly helpful in showing visual learners how concepts and applications are interrelated.

More than 1,100 new citations include recent insights into positive psychology, transcranial magnetic stimulation, and terror management theory.
