Discovering Psychology

Sandra Hockenbury and new co-author Susan Nolan’s remarkable textbook is grounded in the belief that all students can develop a real understanding of psychology and lasting scientific literacy. Using relatable personal stories to communicate the concepts of psychological science (and the process of science itself), Discovering Psychology presents important research in a clear, accessible way.
New co-author Susan Nolan (Seton Hall University) regularly gives talks about incorporating scientific literacy into the introductory course and across the psychology curriculum, providing valuable insight to the book’s 7th edition. 
The book can also be purchased with the breakthrough online resource, LaunchPad, which offers innovative media content, curated and organised for easy assignability. LaunchPad's intuitive interface presents quizzing, flashcards, animations and much more to make learning actively engaging.
