Chapter 1: What is Psychology? Microsoft Outlook You Replied On. Introduces students to the field and to the fundamentals of critical and scientific thinking. Each following chapter is presented within the context of six sections (Your Self, Your Body, Your Mind, Your Environment, Your Mental Health, and Your Life) designed to invite the reader to consider how the discipline of psychology can illuminate aspects of his or her own life and provide a personal frame of reference for assimilating the information.

Critical and Scientific Thinking: Eight basic guidelines to critical and scientific thinking are introduced in Chapter 1 as well as highlighted in the endpapers of the text. Critical thinking is woven throughout the text's narrative. Critical thinking icons (light bulbs) appear throughout the text to highlight topic areas that exemplify and ask students to employ critical thinking skills. These icons do not signal the only place that critical thinking is happening in the text but rather point to particularly good examples for students to participate in. Within Invitation to Psychology, Wade and Tavris DEFINE what critical thinking is; MODEL how to think critically through the exploration of popular but unsupported ideas in our culture today as well as psychological issues that evoke emotional debate; and encourage students to PRACTICE critical thinking through activities and examples. Close-Up on Research: This NEW feature takes a provocative research question and shows how investigators set about answering it, from start to finish.

Designed to show students how the process works from the first questions a psychological scientist asks (such as: 'What might be a better predictor of male violence than testosterone?' Or 'Why is human touch emotionally and even physically beneficial?'

) to defining terms to considering other explanations for the findings. Each Close-Up on Research also contains a graph or a table of the results to encourage student practice on reading these important presentations of data. Mainstreaming Culture and Gender: Rather than relegating studies on gender or culture to separate chapters or boxed features, Invitation to Psychology integrates the research in the areas in which it applies.

Gender differences and similarities are discussed throughout the text where appropriate. (For example: Chapter 5 explores that men and women do not, overall, differ in mood swings in the course of an average month.) Empirical findings on culture and ethnicity are interwoven throughout topics as warranted. (For example: Chapter 2 highlights cultural factors in personality and Chapter 10 contains extended discussions of ethnocentrism, prejudice, and cross-cultural relations). Active participation in both the subject matter and the science of psychology is a key element of Wade/Tavris Invitation to Psychology. Through innovative features and intriguing questions and quizzes, Wade/Tavris helps students see the excitement of psychology.
