Critical Thinking in Psychology and Everyday Life shows how a scientific, critical thinking approach can be effective in addressing psychological questions, and discusses other questions that straddle the boundary between science and non-science. While scientific, critical thinking can be effective in addressing psychological questions, this textbook is a guide for how to separate fact from speculation and true claims from misconceptions and misinformation.
Includes "Practice Thinking: What Do You Think?" exercises, which are a list of questions designed to engage students in thinking about the psychological ideas noted therein and to reflect on their beliefs"Practice Thinking: What Do You think NOW?" sections repeat the initial questions, this time designed to engage students in reflecting on how their ideas and beliefs have changed after thinking critically about the questions.Real-world examples of thinking errors and fallacies are incorporated into the activities and exercises
