Wait, did I just read an entire textbook?

Why yes. Yes I did.

In preparation for HKU's psychology admissions exam—which I intend on crushing, just FYI—I bought a copy of the required textbook and read it, cover to cover. To save you the trouble of reading all dry-as-toast, typo-riddled 500+ pages, I've outlined the coolest ideas here:

Wait, did I just read an entire textbook?

In preparation for HKU's psychology admissions exam—which I intend on crushing, just FYI—I bought a copy of the required textbook and read it, cover to cover. To save you the trouble of reading all dry-as-toast, typo-riddled 500+ pages, I've outlined the coolest ideas here:

Use framing to orchestrate a more positive outlook. This is a classic concept I've encountered through behavioral economics, but it's worth sharing, anyway: people's happiness with their decisions stems largely from the frames they use in making those decisions (Kahneman, 1992). A "frame" is the way we describe our choices to ourselves; it affects how a decision is made and which option is ultimately exercised. For example, people were more likely to buy "75% lean" meat as opposed to "25% fat" meat (even though, duh, it's the same thing). Similarly, people would be happy with a $1000 raise out of the clear blue sky, but if they were expecting a $10,000 raise? Probably not so much. I think it also dovetails with spending patterns and consumptive choices; we're only happy with out car until our neighbor drives up with a newer one. Also related to framing: people have the greatest regrets about their education and careers: areas where they're confronted with a wide variety of opportunities. Also, there's a part of our brain called the putamen that shows a lot of activity when we're confronted with missed opportunities (Büchel et al., 2011).

Framing, folks. This stuff is important.

Fundamental Attribution Error (FAE) will change your perspective on everything. This impressive-sounding acronym refers the the tendency to blame or credit people for their actions before acknowledging the environment in which they act (Ross 1977). A lot of conservatives are patently guilty of this: assuming that inner city youths should just get a library card and stay in school. (No, I am not making this up.) We tend to overestimate the dispositional factors ("She didn't smile on the street; she must hate me!") and underestimate the situational ones (she had a bad day at work/was in a hurry/had a headache/was just spacing out). This is a hugely valuable concept to keep in mind, particularly if, like me, you're prone to taking things personally.

Your opinion on psychological adaptivity indicates how much your own personality can change. Do you think people are capable of changing their most basic personal qualities? Whether you answered yes or no, you're probably right about one person: yourself. Psychologists refer to "entity theory" and "incremental theory" (Beer, 2002; Plaks et al., 2009); entity theorists believe that people's natures are essentially fixed, while incremental theorists contend that people can change drastically. The perspective that resonates with you likely describes how your own brain operates, and thus acts as a proxy for your own psychological flexibility.

Constantly trying to make the "best" decision is probably doing more harm than good. When I read this section, I actually laughed out loud; it encapsulates my daily frustrations so perfectly that the words practically jumped off the pate and slapped me in the face. According to research (Parker et al., 2007; Schwartz et al., 2002; Iyengar et al., 2006), there are two kinds of decision makers: maximizers and sacrificers. Maximizers want to get the best deal. They take longer to make daily decisions. They make more money because they generally hold out for, and take the necessary steps to achieve, higher-paying positions. They are generally more stressed, tired, anxious and overwhelmed than their counterparts; sacrificers are the exact opposite. They're decisive, even at the cost of being sure they made the "best" decision. They're less wealthy and less successful, but generally happier.

(Kevin was a happy, healthy sacrificer before I got to him. Babe, I am so sorry.)

Linguistic relativity blows my mind. Ever since watching this TED Talk about how verb tenses (or lack thereof) correlate with savings rates, I've been actively on the hunt for more about this fascinating area of study. It turn out there's a whole trove of research about "linguistic relativity"; the structure of our language really can change the way we think and interact with the world. I haven't had a chance to really delve here, so if anybody has more research about this topic, I would love to hear about it.

Block test anxiety by writing about it. Test anxiety can be mitigated through writing about one's apprehensions (Ramirez & Beilock, 2011). When you're focusing on the test result, you're exhausting your working memory and repressing knowledge that might actually help you test well. Writing out your anxious feelings—about a test, a job interview, anything—allows your brain to dump all that stuff before the big day.

And, on a related note:

Test yourself to remember more. Give yourself a test on the stuff you're trying to commit to memory (Roediger & Butler, 2011). This is known as the "testing effect". People who took tests, as compared with a group that studied twice as long, showed better long-term retention. Another cool concept is retrieval practice: repeatedly studying and then attempting to recall the information. (You'll never guess what I've been doing to prepare for this test.)

Money can buy happiness, but only when you're broke. Another one borrowed from economics textbooks: the marginal value of money—the amount of utility provided by extra income—is highest around $0. (That's also why gambling is so appealing for people with lower incomes.) When people struggle to make ends meet, they often report low levels of life satisfaction and happiness (Diener et al., 2010; Howell & Howell, 2008). Additional income does correlate with increased happiness, but only to a point.

And, finally:

Normative influence makes us do stupid stuff. Rational as we (think we) are, we're actually pretty easily swayed by other people's faulty thinking. Asch (1952) showed that people "went with the crowd" and made incorrect choices on simple observational tests; they believed other people before they believed their own eyes! Certainly this has some evolutionary advantage—maybe you don't see the charging tiger, but that caveman does so you run—but it can also allow a sort of groupthink to override our own rationality.

---

Mind = blown, dudes.

The book itself is pretty dry—it's a textbook, after all—and I was frankly a little surprised that there wasn't more on psychological disorders (what, no nymphomania?!). Also, for £60, I'd hope to have fewer than 5 formatting and typographical errors; I lost count at 10. Finally, because of the manner in which I bought this book, I wasn't able to access the "MyPsychLab" online component, available through the publisher's website. That made me a bit displeased.

On the positive side, I took some killer notes. Looking forward to putting this sucker on the shelf where it can look imposing and never picking it up again.

I found some areas in the book too simplistic and shallow - to such a degree that after reflecting on what I've just read I found to my amazement that two pages could have been written in just a few sentences and still conserve the whole information - e.g. the review of contemporary views on psychology in the first chapter is very shallow.
The discussion about statistics is laughable - the examples given as studies that demonstrate statistical analysis are examples of bad statistical experiments

The discussion about statistics is laughable - the examples given as studies that demonstrate statistical analysis are examples of bad statistical experiments, and after explaining how co-variance can not point to cause and effect the book gives as an example for a good experiment a study which did just that!
There are also some minor falsehoods - like claiming Christopher Columbus thought the earth was round while others told him it was flat (the earth was know to be round since the time of the ancient greeks, and renascence europe certainly knew that - this common mistake is thought to be Washington Irving's fault).

I read the 16th version. Writers tried to classify our misunderstanding on psychology. It is just, and should be our every day life. But not a mystery subject. A statistical subject, though it has a history of no more than 50 years or so, psychology had form a system to explain how the world goes and why people live like this. Besides, some experiences are interesting and the results do surprise us.

Przeczytałam nowe wydanie z 2012. No i książka jest ok ale bez szału. Jest świetna dla osób wybierających się na psychologię i będących na samym początku studiów jednak z czasem traci i to dużo. Jest to książka którą trzeba przeczytać jako pierwszą i tyle. Język jest prosty, szybko i łatwo się czyta w porównaniu do innych książek naukowych, które przeczytałam. Taka przyjemna encyklopedia psychologii ogólnej bez wchodzenia w głębokie szczegóły. Polecam na sam początek.

I got this textbook for Intro to Psychology Honors and it was a great experience reading it. I started out with only a little pop knowledge on the subject and finished it with much more understanding on essential information of more than ten different topics in psychology. As a textbook, it is extremely useful for me in studying for all the essay exams and writing the 15-page portfolio essays analyzing news, articles, podcasts, etc. Out of the context of this class, it is still worth the read fo I got this textbook for Intro to Psychology Honors and it was a great experience reading it.

Terms are well-explained and the studies used in this text are mostly landscape ones that keep you interested. My favorite ones are Social Psychology, Memory, and Learning. They really affect the way I view everything in life from now on. It's a great choice to start learning psychology with this book. ...more
