What's the Difference? Psychology
by
What's the difference between your id and your ego? Or a narcissist and a hedonist? In 150 paired definitions, this wide-ranging psychology primer resolves any confusion. The What's the Difference? series offers a brand-new approach to popular reference by examining concepts in pairs to help clarify common (and not-so-common) confusions. Exploring two definitions at the same time cuts to the heart of a topic quickly and clearly so you can avoid those all-too-frequent conceptual slip-ups. You might be familiar with some of the weird and wonderful topics of psychology but wish you fully understood the difference between concepts like conscious and unconscious, or stress and burnout. Written by clinical psychologist and psychology professor Dr. Fiona Starr, What's the Difference? Psychology offers clarity through: Snappy explanations of all the big-ticket psychology topics A review of key figures in psychology An easy-to-grasp format that introduces terms in conceptual pairs An accessible dip-in, dip-out design Read the book as a whole or choose concepts that spark your interest. As you go, you will enrich and deepen your understanding of why we think, feel and behave in the ways we do. So, if you want to know the difference between nature and nurture, schizophrenia and psychosis, the mind and the brain, then read on.
Decolonial Psychology : Toward Anticolonial Theories, Research, Training, and Practice
by
This book offers an expert synthesis of the scholarly literature on approaches to decolonial psychology, its historical foundations, education and training, and psychological practice. From its inception, psychological science and practice in the United States has been framed predominantly by Eurocentric epistemologies. As a result, oppressed people have internalized the belief that their culture and values are inferior to those of dominant groups. Infusing a decolonial lens into psychology is one way for the field to become more inclusive and relevant to the numerical majority worldwide.

This book is an unbeatable, must-have guide to IBM SPSS that will allow undergraduate psychology students to master this powerful software tool.
Building Experiments in PsychoPy
by
PsychoPy is an open-source software package for creating rich, dynamic experiments in psychology, neuroscience and linguistics. Written by its creator, this book walks you through the steps of building experiments in PsychoPy, from using images to discovering lesser-known features, and from analysing data to debugging your experiment. Divided into three parts and with unique extension exercises to guide you at whatever level you are at, this textbook is the perfect tool for teaching practical undergraduate classes on research methods, as well as acting as a comprehensive reference text for the professional scientist. Essential reading for anyone using PsychoPy software, the second edition has been fully updated and includes multiple new chapters about features included in recent versions of PsychoPy, including running studies online and collecting survey data. Part I teaches you all the basic skills you need (and some more advanced tips along the way) to design experiments in behavioral sciences. Each chapter introduces anew concept but will offer a series of working experiments that you can build on. Part II presents more details important for professional scientists intending to use PsychoPy for published research. This part is recommended reading for science professionals in any discipline. Part III covers a range of specialist topics, such as those doing fMRI research, or those studying visual perception. "This book fills an incredibly important gap in the field. Many users of PsychoPy will be excited to learn that there is now a highly accessible and well-designed written guide to refine their skills." - Susanne Quadflieg, University of Bristol
