Chapter 1: Studying Psychology

What will I learn about in psychology? 

In Chapter 1, we provide a general outline of Psychology’s seven Key Integrative Themes, and some basic information about the field of psychology. You will also learn about the psychology major, how it fits into college, and the kinds of career opportunities available.

Chapter 2: Becoming Us

Psychological, biological, social, and cultural factors influence behavior and mental processes.

This theme is about the biopsychosocial perspective, which outlines three major domains of psychology. These domains help to explain human behavior and to see human potential. By the end of the chapter, the reader can better understand the question “How did I become the person I am becoming today?”

Starting in Chapter 2, each subsequent chapter brings one key theme to life.
