Psychology, 8e, is a student-friendly and accessible text that focuses on the science of psychology and its relevance to everyday life. This text introduces students to the fundamental concepts of psychology and explores the classic and current research that has provided insights into human behavior. Understanding that all psychological research takes place in a sociocultural context, the authors have integrated coverage of diversity in culture, ethnicity, and gender throughout the text.

Peter Gray’s evolutionary perspective and emphasis on critical thinking have made his rigorous yet accessible introduction to psychology a widely respected classroom favorite, edition after edition. Now thoroughly revised, with the help of new co-author David Bjorklund, Psychology, Eighth Edition, invites and stimulates students to investigate the big ideas in psychological science.
