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.
