Introduction to Psychology heeds the increasing awareness of psychology as an understanding of people not just in North America and Western Europe, but also around the world. The text covers examples that Asian students can relate to and empirical studies that are aimed at understanding cultural influence on people’s thought, emotions, and behavior. Each chapter presents particular research studies in detail, including limitations in some examples. It helps to hone students’ critical evaluation of psychological research evidence. In addition, the case studies providing everyday contexts for students to practice application of the theories and findings are also discussed in the book to enable a better understanding of concepts.
