Psychology in Everyday Life Reviews

  • Erin Vanessa

    This textbook was wonderful. I went into the class without much enthusiasm for the topic, but there were times when I got through the day's 20 pages without realizing it. Very easy to understand and a great introduction.

  • Mimi

    No offense to this book... I hated this class. My teacher was quite literally a psychologist in need of a psychologist. It was the worst class I've ever taken. That said, the book wasn't that bad. The supplemental materials were pretty good. I didn't LOVE the assignment that included virtually shocking a rat in the brain over and over, or simulated animal cruelty, but I'd rather do it online to a digital rat, than in the lab to an actual rat... I also didn't love having to get a bunch of simulated rats addicted to drugs, but again, better than living rats. But honestly, I'd rather not do it at all. Let's leave the rats alone...

  • Caitlin

    It's a very good textbook, although why save Freud and psychological disorders for the very last two chapters? Taking an Intro to Psychology class, you'd expect those to be among the first things you'd learn.

  • Tristen Kite

    Read for college course. It was actually written in an enjoyable way and not dry a d miserable.

  • Kyra Horton

    Had to read for general psych. Was very intriguing and informational

  • Z

    An actually interesting textbook. Was assigned this for a class, and I even read unassigned sections in my free time because I genuinely just *wanted to*. 👍🏻

  • Kathryn

    I don't care that it was my textbook. It still counts as a book I've read!

  • Tessa

    I hated the textbook marginally less than I hated the class. I still hated it a lot. Blech.
