"Psychology: The Science of Mind and Behavior" imparts students with a scientific understanding of the field of psychology while showing them the impact on their day-to-day existence. A simple conceptual framework within the text emphasizes relations between biological, psychological, and environmental levels of analysis and portrays the focus of modern psychology. Together with Research Close-Ups in each chapter and Beneath the Surface discussions and What Do You Think? questions, the text challenges students to think critically about psychology as a science and its impact on their lives.

BUY THIS INSTEAD OF THE 5th EDITION
Reviewed in the United States on 18 January 2012Verified Purchase
Very very few changes. My friend got the new edition and I bought this one for our psychology class and I compared them. The page numbers may be different but the content is the quite similar. There is one study from 2010 that was added that is not present in this edition, but other than that, it is the same. Save your money and buy this one.
