We used this text for my Introduction to Psychology class. The book is very well organized and allows anyone to easily possess a grasp of the fundementals of psychology.

This was the only one my textbooks for my first semester that I actually didn't mind reading. Lahey's prose is very readable and he includes several antecdotes to add flavor to the material.

I would recomend this one to anyone who has an academic or personal interest in psychology. If you are a student, the book is an additional plus because it is available in paperback, which greatly cuts down on cost.

I teach Psychology courses, and this text is great for the student and instructor! Even students who are not interested in psychology learn a lot from this text. It's written in an easy to read, 'grab your curiosity' way. It's thorough, fascinating to the new and experienced reader of psychology. Great text! It's updated regularly, so for the newest information, you've got the right book....

This was a great, full color, book. However it was very large, not just thick but literally surface area large. Because of that it is very flimsy as a paperback edition. Therefore, if it was a hardcover it would have been perfect. Other then that the chapters are well defined, and it offers definitions and important key words on the edge of the pages, which is nice for quick reference.

This book has a conversational writing style and covers a wide range of subjects. I used it in an 'introduction to psychology' class and found it to be clear and accesible. The practice test were helpful, yet I'm skeptical about the answers, I think one or two of the answers were printed incorrectly. Also, the test questions my teacher gave us seemed to be in a different style to the ones in the practice test booklet. Overall, this is a well written introductory text.

Execellent, very straight to the point Gives you an understanding about the pschology in its simplistic view.

I just finished and intro psychology sourse, but we used the sixth edition, and I found the book very easy to understand. Lahey chose to use simple language in a conversational manner. I belive that this is an excellent textbook!!!

It was in amazing condition, better than I expected!Psychology: An Introduction with In Psych Student CD-ROM and Registration Code

There was a little bump in the road with the seller but they were able to solve it quick and have my product sent out right away. I'm glad that they have great customer service because I was patient. The book was also in superb great condition. It seemed brand new. Thanks.

I needed to take General Psychology for a semester, and this book is easy to read and not boring like some textbooks. Its like the author is having a conversation with you while you are reading it. There are also helpful section quizes at the end of a certain topic so that helps you to learn the material quickly. Got an A for the class.

When I looked this item up on amazon, it had a nice blue and yellow picture for the newer edition. This is NOT the current, acceptable edition (for Wright State at least). Do yourself a favor and message the seller and ask them what the cover looks like - because Amazon showed me two very different pictures for the same item! Now my homework is due and I'm reading the wrong text!
