With help from esteemed new coauthors Stephen L. Chew and Ebony Glover, the Fifth Edition of Psychology in Your Life builds students’ critical thinking, strengthens data literacy, enhances study skills, and equips them to see psychology’s value in future careers—all through an engaging, active reading experience that integrates seamlessly into your LMS.
Engage every student with multimodal, interactive content that resonates with all learners.
The Norton Illumine Ebook's Read-See-Do approach enhances comprehension through a three-step learning process: students read manageable text, see visual representations of key concepts, and do interactive activities to reinforce learning, with all progress syncing directly to your LMS gradebook. The foundational IMPACT strategies (Improving, Monitoring, Practicing, Attending, Connecting, and Thinking Critically) are now actionable and feature author-recommended tips for success.
Help students build critical thinking skills, apply psychology to their lives, and develop psychological science literacy with dynamic active learning features.
Help students succeed—in class and beyond—with interactive, evidence-based activities. Exercises like sleep assessments and growth mindset reflections encourage students to apply psychological concepts to their lives, while critical thinking activities like Myth Alerts! develop analytical skills through examining claims and distinguishing fact from fiction.
