Published by Sinauer Associates, an imprint of Oxford University Press.

Organized around four well-established core principles, Principles of Psychology provides students with a framework to understand the science of behavior

Written in a conversational style, Principles of Psychology is organized around the following four well-established principles that serve as touchstones for the field of psychology:

- The mind is a process at work in a physical machine, the brain.
- We are consciously aware of only a fraction of our mental activity.
- We constantly modify our behavior, beliefs, and attitudes according to what we perceive about the people around us.
- Experience physically alters the structure and function of the brain.
