Preface
Teaching introductory psychology is one of the greatest challenges
facing any academic psychologist. Indeed, because of the range of our subject matter,
it is probably the most difficult course to teach effectively in all of
academia. We must cover both the micro-level analyses of nerve cell processes
and the macro-level analyses of cultural systems: both the vitality of health
psychology and the tragedy of lives blighted by mental illness. Our challenge
in writing this text—like your challenge in teaching— is to give form and
substance to all this information, to bring it to life for our students.
More often than not, students come into our course filled with
misconceptions about psychology that they have picked up from the infusion of
“pop psychology” into our society. They also bring with them high expectations
about what they want to get out of a course in psychology—they want to learn much
that will be personally valuable, that will help them improve their everyday
lives. Indeed, that is a tall order for any teacher to fill. But we believe
that Psychology and Life can help you to fill it.
Our goal has been to design a text that students will enjoy reading
as they learn what is so exciting and special about the many fields of
psychology. In every chapter, in every sentence, we have tried to make sure
that students will want to go on reading. At the same time, we have focused on
how our text will work within the syllabi of instructors who value a
researchcentered,
applications-relevant approach to
psychology.
This 19th edition of Psychology and Life is the fifth collaboration between
Richard Gerrig and Philip Zimbardo. Our partnership was forged because we
shared a commitment to teaching psychology as a science relevant to human
welfare. We both could bring our teaching experience to bear on a text that
balances scientific rigor with psychology’s relevance to contemporary life
concerns. Furthermore, Richard’s expertise in cognitive psychology provided an
important complement to Phil’s expertise in social psychology. With Richard as
lead author, Psychology and Life has been able to keep pace with rapid changes
in psychology, particularly in areas such as cognitive and affective
neuroscience. Even so, Psychology and Life remains a collaboration of like
minds: Together, we celebrate both an ongoing tradition and a continued vision
of bringing the most important psychological insights to bear on your students’
lives. The 19th edition is a product of this fine collaboration.
Text Theme: The Science of Psychology
The aim of Psychology and Life is to use solid scientific research to
combat psychological misconceptions. In our experience as teachers, one of the
most reliable occurrences on the first day of introductory psychology is the
throng of students who push forward at the end of class to ask, in essence,
“Will this class teach me what I need to know?”: My mother is taking
Prozac:Will we learn what it does? Are you going to teach us how to study
better? I need to put my son in day care to come back to school. Is that going
to be all right for him? What should I do if I have a friend talking about
suicide? We take comfort that each of these questions has been addressed by
rigorous empirical research. Psychology and Life is devoted to providing students
with scientific analyses of their foremost concerns. As a result, the features
of Psychology and Life support a central theme: psychology as a science, with a
focus on applying that science to your students’ lives.
CRITICAL THINKING IN YOUR LIFE
An important goal of Psychology and Life is to teach the scientific basis
of psychological reasoning. When our students ask us questions—what they need
to know—they quite often have acquired partial answers based on the types of
information that are available in the popular media. Some of that information
is accurate, but often students do not know how to make sense of it. How do
they learn to interpret and evaluate what they hear in the media? How can they
become wiser consumers of the overabundance of research studies and surveys
cited? How can they judge the credibility of these sources? To counteract this infusion
of so-called reliable research, we provide students with the scientific tools
to think critically about the information with which they are surrounded and to
draw generalizations appropriate to the goals and methods of research.
With a feature we call Critical Thinking in Your Life, we seek to
confront students directly with the experimental basis of critical conclusions.
Our intention is not to maintain that each of these boxes has the definitive
answer to a particular research area, but to invite critical thinking and open
the door for further questions.
PSYCHOLOGY IN YOUR LIFE
The questions we cited earlier are real questions from real students,
and your students will find the answers throughout the book. These questions
represent data we collected from students over the years. We told them, “Tell
us what you need to know about psychology,” and we have placed those questions—
your students’ own voices—directly into the text in the form of the popular
Psychology in Your Life sections. Our hope is that your students will see, in
each instance, exactly why psychological knowledge is directly relevant to the
decisions they make every day of their lives.
RESEARCH STUDIES
These major studies showcase the how and why behind key
psychological research. These studies have been integrated into the text
itself, allowing students to understand their full impact within the context of
their reading. Example topics include plasticity in the visual cortex of adult
rats, the impact of meditation on brain structure, the impact of culture on
judgments of which category members are typical, the impact of mood on people’s
gullibility, individual differences in intimacy goals, family therapy for
children’s anxiety disorders, cross-cultural differences in cognitive
dissonance, and genetic influences on physical and social aggression. Many of
the nearly 140 research studies throughout the text are new or have been revised
for this edition.
PEDAGOGICAL FEATURES
Psychology and Life has maintained a reputation for presenting the
science of psychology in a way that is challenging, yet accessible, to a broad
range of students, and the 19th edition is no exception. To enhance students’
experience with the book, we include several pedagogical features:
• Stop and Review. This feature appears at the end of every major
section and provides students with thought provoking questions to test their
mastery of material before moving on. Answers to these questions can be found
in the Answer Appendix at the back of the book. For this edition, we’ve also
included a list of valuable video clips, audio files, and simulations from
MyPsychLab at the end of each Stop and Review.
• Recapping Main Points. Each chapter concludes with a chapter
summary, Recapping Main Points, which summarizes the chapter content and is
organized according to major section headings.
• Key Terms. Key terms are boldfaced in the text as they appear with
their definitions at the bottom of each page and are listed, with page
references, at the end of each chapter for quick review.
• Practice Test. Each chapter concludes with a practice test with 15
multiple choice questions based on the material in both the main text and the
boxes. In addition, we’ve provided sample essay questions that allow students
to think more broadly about the content of each chapter. Multiple choice
answers can be found in the Answer Appendix, and suggested answers for the
essay questions can be found in the Instructor’s Manual.
90年代初，我在北京大学心理学系读本科的时候，当时心理学教材并不多，没有现在这么丰富，我们在系图书馆就发现了这本书，图文并茂，思想前沿。2007年我回到北大心理系工作，在开设普通心理学这门课时，个想到的就是选取一本好的教材，把心理学的知识全面展示给大一的新生，于是就想到了《心理学与生活》。据我所知，在这本书的使用过程中，很多的老师和学生对她都有很高的评价。
——方方 北京大学心理与认知科学学院院长
津巴多先生不仅是伟大的科学家、心理学家，也是一位伟大的教育家，他的很多书籍在西方都产生了巨大的影响，培养了一代又一代的心理学后辈。我们很多学校在用《心理学与生活》作为教学参考书，同时也对我们社会、中国人民了解心理学产生了巨大的影响，她的覆盖面非常广，看这本书的人有各种各样的阶层。我作为心理学教指委主任，有责任有义务推广这样好的教材，同时也希望我们国内的作者们也能写出像津巴多先生这样popular的著作。

WHY ARE SOME PEOPLE SHY?
Surveys reveal that more than 50 percent of
college students considerthemselves to be “currently shy”(Carducci &
Zimbardo, 1995). Most of them say that shyness is an undesirable condition that
has negative personaland social consequences.Another group of students say that
they are “situationally shy.” They feel “shy” in certain situations that are novel,
awkward, or socially pressured, such as blind dates, singles bars, or being put
on the spot to perform in public without preparation. Researchers investigating
shyness in adults were surprised to discover that it is the “not shy” person
who is the rare, unusual breed in the United States and in every other country surveyed
(Zimbardo, 1991).
Shyness may be defined as an individual’s discomfort and/or
inhibition in interpersonal situations that interferes with pursuing one’s
interpersonal or professional goals. Shyness can be the mild reticence and
social awkwardness many people feel in new situations, but it can escalate into
the extreme of a totally inhibiting fear of people (we will discuss this social
phobia in Chapter 14). Many shy people are also introverted; they prefer
solitary, nonsocial activities. Others are “shy extraverts,” publicly outgoing
yet privately shy, preferring to engage in social activities, having the social
skills to do so effectively, yet doubting that others will really like or
respect them (Pilkonis & Zimbardo, 1979).
So why are some people shy and others are not? One explanation may
be nature. Research evidence suggests that about 10 percent of infants are
“born shy” (Kagan, 1994). From birth, these children are unusually cautious and
reserved when they interact with unfamiliar people or situations. A
complementary explanation focuses on nurture. As children, some individuals are
ridiculed, laughed at, or singled out for public shame; others grow up in
families that make “being
loved” contingent on competitive success in
appearance and performance.
A third explanation focuses on culture. Shyness is highest in some Asian
countries, notably Japan and Taiwan, and lowest in Israel, among nine countries
studied (Zimbardo, 1991). This difference is attributed in part to cultural
emphases on shame for social failure and obedience to authority in these Asian
countries versus encouragement for taking risks and externalizing blame in
Israel (Pines & Zimbardo, 1978). A fourth explanation accounts, in part,
for a recent rise in reported prevalence of shyness in the United States: Young
people are intensively involved with
electronic technology. Spending long hours,
typically alone, watching TV, playing video games, surfing the Web, and doing
e-mail is socially isolating and reduces daily face-to-face contact. Heavy use
of the Internet has the potential to make people feel lonely, isolated, and
shyer (Shaw & Black, 2008).
As shyness gets more extreme, it intrudes on ever more aspects of one’s
life to minimize social pleasures and maximize social discomfort and isolation.
There are some simple concepts and tactics we suggest for shy students to think
about and try out (Zimbardo, 1991):
Realize that you are not alone in your
shyness; every person you see is more like you than different from you in his
or her shyness.
Shyness can be modified, even when there
is a genetic component, but it takes dedication
and a resolve to change, as with any
long-standing habit you want to break.
Practice smiling and making eye contact
with most people you meet.
Talk up; speak in a loud, clear voice,
especially when giving your name or asking for information.
Be the first to ask a question or make a
comment in a new social situation. Be prepared with something interesting to say
and say it first; everyone appreciates an “ice breaker.”
Never put yourself down. Instead, think
about what you can do next time to gain the outcome you want.
Focus on making others feel comfortable, especially
searching out those other shy people. Doing so lowers your self-consciousness.
If you are shy, we hope you will adopt these suggestions. Other students
who have followed them have been released from the prison of shyness into a life
filled with newfound liberties.
