Description

This project is our local introductory psychology textbook for first-year undergraduates. It strikes a balance between classic and contemporary topics and theory, and students will be engaged by local ideas and examples within the context of psychology as an international discipline. In the first-year course, students are introduced to all the different disciplines within psychology - including developmental and social psychology, learning and cognition, clinical psychology, motivation, research, and psychological disorders - and to how all the specialties are linked. There are also the levels of psychology they need to think about - from the individual, family or group to the wider community, to the cultures they live in, and then, ultimately, to the global community.
