How Is This Text Different From
Exploring Psychology, Ninth Edition?
The primary differences between this book and my Exploring Psychology, ninth edition,
text are organization and module independence.
Organization
This book really IS Exploring Psychology, ninth edition—just in a different format. So,
this modular version contains all the updated research and innovative new coverage
from Exploring Psychology, ninth edition. A very few sections have been moved
around to accommodate the modular structure. For example, Rates of Psychological
Disorders is a separate section at the end of the Psychological Disorders chapter in
Exploring Psychology, ninth edition, but it is covered in the first of the Psychological
Disorders modules in this modular version.
The Modules Are Independent
Each module in this book is self-standing rather than dependent upon the others for
understanding. Cross-references to other parts of the book have been replaced with
brief explanations. In some cases, illustrations or key terms are repeated to avoid possible
confusion. No assumptions are made about what students have read prior to each
module. This independence gives instructors ultimate f lexibility in deciding which
modules to use, and in what order. Connections among psychology’s subfields and
findings are still made—they are just made in a way that does not assume knowledge of
other parts of the book.
