The Science of Psychology: An Appreciative View, 2nd Edition (King)

New to this Edition

  • King Science of Psychology provides Connect Psychology with an adaptive questioning diagnostic (LearnSmart) that ensures students understand the key concepts in the chapter. The dynamic adaptive questioning diagnostic (LearnSmart) quickly shows students they are not likely to perform as well as they would like--or as previous performance might predict--if they are only "reading" the text to memorize key terms, facts, and people. Students who use the adaptive diagnostic tool are seeing their grades improve by a letter grade or more. Whether they use this dynamic resource before or after class, your students will read more and read more effectively. In addition, Connect Psychology offers turnkey course setups available almost immediately, or the course can be customized at virtually any level of granularity. This makes Science of Psychology perfect for face-to-face, online, or hybrid course delivery.


  • Science of Psychology’s pedagogical and analytical thinking aides Intersections and Psychological Inquiry complement the on-line tools by encouraging student's critical thinking and active engagement with the reading.


  • Based on a comprehensive research study conducted by Auburn University, our new computerized test bank has been rigorously developed to reflect the range and depth of assessment required for effective introductory psychology instruction. In addition, each question and corresponding answer choices have been reviewed and vetted by introductory psychology instructors for validity and correctness.


  • New Chapter on Gender and Sexuality expands the emphasis on health and wellness. This chapter addresses topics such as theories of gender development, the psychology of gender differences, sexual orientation and gay functioning, and sexual health and wellness.


  • Laura Kings contemporary, engaging and personal writing style draws students into the text encouraging them to read more actively and critically
