Taking advantage of the technological advances of recent years, this best-selling, brief book thoroughly integrates multimedia to provide readers with as rich a learning environment as the early 21st century has to offer. It presents psychology as a science and balances discussions of research, theory, and application—inspiring learners to develop their ability to think critically, ask questions, evaluate ideas, and ultimately form their own ideas. Discussions of similarities and differences among genders and cultures appear throughout the book. Chapter topics explore the science of psychology, the biological basis of behavior, sensation and perception, states of consciousness, learning, memory, cognition and mental abilities, motivation and emotion, life span development, psychological disorders, therapies, and social psychology. Interactive learning activities, outside readings, interactive matching/labeling games, Web links, and segments from the popular Mind Matters CD-ROM are noted in the margins of the book and available at the click of a mouse. For armchair psychologists interested in the never-ending search to understand behavior.

Even as one edition is sent to the printer, we begin gathering materials for the next edition. After poring over a stack of file folders, we chose over five hundred new references to incorporate into this revision, with more than one hundred of them dated 2000 or later.

Each one offers important new information in our never-ending search to understand behavior. But despite the changes, the original goals for this book remain unchanged: to present a scientific, accurate, and thorough overview of the essential concepts of psychology, in engaging language that the average,student can easily comprehend; to be current without being trendy; and to write clearly about psychology and its applications without being condescending. Pedagogy that makes material more accessible Throughout every edition of this text we have kept in mind that our final audience consists primarily of college undergraduates. Having taught undergraduates for decades, we realize that it is essential to make a textbook as accessible and helpful as possible. The sixth edition includes a number of pedagogical features designed to help students understand the material and how it applies to their lives. The result is that students don't just process lists of unrelated facts, but instead have a cognitive map with which to contextualize, better understand, and more effectively relate and recall concepts.

Examples include 'The Slow (but lasting) Fix for Weight Gain' (Chapter 8); 'Traumatic Stress: Recovering from Disasters and Other Traumatic Events' (Chapter 11); and 'Recognizing Depression' (Chapter 12) • New Understanding the World Around Us boxes help students use psychology to understand issues in the news and events occurring in the world around them. Examples include 'Eyewitness Testimony: Can We Trust It?' (Chapter 6); 'What Motivates Rape?' (Chapter 8); and 'Kids Who Kill' (Chapter 9).

• New 'talking graphics' clarify complex processes with step-by-step explanations, particularly in the areas of neuroscience (Chapter 2), Sensation and Perception (Chapter 3), and Memory (Chapter 6). • Check Your Understanding quizzes at the end of each major section help students review and retain concepts before moving on to a new topic.

These quizzes are also available in an interactive format on the Morris Companion Website. • A chapter-opening Overview provides students with a road map for each chapter. • Questions following each first- and second-level heading encourage students to be active readers and to critically evaluate the material that follows. • Summary Tables provide concise reviews of the most important concepts. • Key terms are printed in boldface and defined in the margin where they first appear.

• The Chapter Review provides a comprehensive summary of key concepts. • Critical Thinking questions appear at the end of every chapter, and encourage students to consider the broader implications of major concepts.

Integrated Multimedia Focusing on the Basics Our students never have enough time. Multimedia games might be fun, but what students really need are tools for understanding and retaining the basics. In this edition, we have streamlined and significantly enhanced the Companion Website to provide students with the tools to understand and master the basic concepts. For each chapter, students will find numerous online quizzes with instant scoring and feedback, interactive lectures that help students review the key concepts, flash-cards for drilling themselves on key terms, and an exciting new component called Live!Psych (described below).

The website material is tightly integrated with the text through numbered icons in the text margins, which indicate when students should go to the website for quizzes, interactive lectures, and Live!Psych exercises that correspond to the concepts just covered in the chapter. Live!Psych is a series of highly interactive media simulations, animations, and assessments found on the Morris Companion Website. All Live!Psych modules were created in consultation with psychology instructors and carefully reviewed by a board of experts to ensure accuracy and pedagogical effectiveness (see list of contributers below under 'Student Supplements: Live!Psych Modules'). The modules focus on the concepts students find most challenging, such as the major brain structures and functions; neurons and neural impulses; the structures of the human eye and ear; stages of sleep and brainwave patterns; the classical and operant conditioning processes; and many others.

Live!Psych helps students master these difficult concepts by allowing them to see and experience them in a more interactive format than can be achieved in any textbook. All of the material on the Morris Companion Website, including the Live!Psych modules, can be accessed without restriction at www.prenhall.com/morris. Increased Coverage of Culture and Diversity For today's students and instructors of introductory psychology, diversity is more than simply an issue for discussion and debate; it is a daily reality. The challenge confronting any textbook author is to satisfy a heterogeneous audience without becoming trendy or unscientific.

Over the last several years, the body of research examining issues of diversity has grown to significant levels. As a result, consideration of diversity is expanded in every new edition—both diversity within the North American population, and diversity across cultures worldwide.

Material relating to diversity is incorporated throughout the Sixth Edition.
