Psychology and the Challenges of Life: Adjustment to the New Millenium, Active Learning Edition (Hardcover, 8th ed.)
Rathus- New Feature: "A Closer Look" features provide an in-depth look at interesting and useful topics in the psychology of adjustment. The "A Closer Look" features serve many purposes. Some of them provide profiles of fascinating individuals from the history of psychology and from contemporary psychology. Some provide advice on adjustment issues. Still others highlight theoretical and research issues in the psychology of adjustment. Yet other "A Closer Look" features have a light, entertaining touch. They are also instructive, but they are appealing. Examples: "Stuck for a Name? How About Fuddy, Sunshine, or Nan-z?" and "Find That Fat! (16 Heart Attacks on a Plate)."
- Psychology and the Challenges of Life makes full use of the PQ4R pedagogical method. The PQ4R method promotes active learning, and students are encouraged to become proactive rather than reactive. PQ4R stands for Preview, Question, Read, Reflect, Review, and Recite, a method that is based on the work of educational psychologist Francis P. Robinson.
- The text incorporates coverage on biological views, classification of psychological disorders, adjustment disorders, and acute stress disorder.
- Self-Assessment features are intended to stimulate student interest by involving them more deeply in the subject matter, and also to help students evaluate where they stand in relation to the issues raised in the text.
- Running Glossary - Key terms are defined in the margins, at the points where they occur in the text. Research shows that many students do not make use of a glossary at the back of a book. Moreover, ready access to glossary items permits students to maintain their concentration on the flow of material in the chapter.
- Key terms are boldfaced the first time they appear in the chapter, to signal students that definitions are available.
