Studying Introduction to Psychology: Gateways to Mind and Behavior
Psychology is about each of us. It asks us to adopt a reflective attitude as we inquire, "How can we step outside ourselves to look objectively at how we live, think, feel, and act?" Psychologists believe that the answer comes through careful thought, observa tion, and inquiry. As simple as that may seem, thoughtful reflec tion takes practice to develop. It is the guiding light for all that follows.
Gateways to Mind and Behavior, then, is your gateway, or pass port, to an adventure in active learning, not just passive reading. To help you get off to a good start, we strongly encourage you to read our short "manual, A Psychologist's Skill Set-Reflective Studying, which precedes Chapter 1. In it, we describe what you can learn by taking this course, including the skills you'll develop that can be helpful in both your personal and professional life.
