Psychology Summary

Psychology: An Evolutionary Approach by Steven J. C. Gaulin

For use in introductory psychology courses.

  • This is the first text to show the relevance of evolutionary thinking to the entire range of psychological phenomena, and it does so at a level appropriate for introductory students.
  • The authors-representing the disciplines of both psychology and anthropology-have taken special care to present their material in a way that parallels the organization of a standard introductory text. After they lay out the fundamentals of modern evolutionary theory, they systematically apply this theory to questions from every domain of psychology: learning, cognition, perception, emotion, development, pathology and more.
  • Appropriate as a core text or supplement for any introductory or upper-division psychology course with an emphasis on evolution.
