Psychology is the study of behavior.
This semester we will be examining the discipline of psychology from a number of different perspectives. All of these perspectives are psychological but they differ considerably among themselves which is one of the reasons psychology is such an interesting discipline to study. When you purchased your text, you also purchased a password to the web site that we will be using as part of the course this semester. The web site contains summaries of each chapter, interactive tutorials, diagrams and demonstrations that you should find enjoyable and helpful. Extra credit can be earned by participating in psychology experiments conducted by students doing their senior projects or by students enrolled in other psychology courses.
