This text provides readers with the intellectual tools necessary to evaluate psychological information and to separate research from opinion and reliable evidence from propaganda. Proposing a four-step procedure, the text focuses on helping students evaluate psychological research and evidence from various (and sometimes incomplete or misleading) secondary sources. Step 1 involves identifying the source; Step 2 teaches how to understand the source by analyzing the central idea (Ch. 3); Step 3 teaches how to identify the source; and Step 4 instructs how to evaluate evidence from psychological research (Ch. 4). Each chapter opens with critical thinking questions and includes examples, practice, and feedback¿all essential parts of the learning process.

Outstanding book by an outstanding author,

This review is from: Evaluating Psychological Information: Sharpening Your Critical Thinkings Skills(4th Edition) (Paperback)
Dr. Bell was my mentor when I first started studying psychology. It is through this method of critically evaluating psychology that I learned to think about psychology (and the world).
This book is a wonderful guide to be used in the classroom or as an independent study manual. It is clear and concise and well written. It assumes no prior knowledge about psychology and most will find it approachable and helpful. Be warned: this book will change the way you look at the world! Mostly for the better but at times the critical thinking creeps in where you wish it wouldn't!
