Psychology: Making Connections, Canadian edition, provides students with a lively and scientific introduction to key psychological concepts, while simultaneously encouraging students to make connections between topics and their experiences. Fostering students' critical thinking skills, the text challenges students to make connections between 5 core themes:
Connections between Psychology and Students' Experience
Connections between Psychologists and Scientific Discoveries
Connections between Nature and Nurture
Connections between Topics across Psychology
Connections among Topics within Each Chapter
The focus on connections reinforces that science is a process, not just a collection of resulting outcomes to be memorized, thereby bringing the names and experiments on the page to life and illustrate the human element in the scientific method.
