Features: There are many teachers in China's psychology field who have been using the English version of this book as a teaching reference for many years. However, unfortunately, due to copyright issues and the heavy translation workload of over one million words, this book has never had a Chinese translation. Driven by a sense of mission to promote the foundational education and popularization of psychology in China, 18 professors from the Psychology Department of Peking University collaborated to select and translate parts of the book based on their research expertise and interests. As Professor Wang Lei said, "The translation of this textbook is a crystallization of the collective wisdom and teamwork of the professors from Peking University's Psychology Department." As a mature textbook rich in educational philosophy and unique teaching methods, all elements of the original book—such as the "Glossary" composed of over 600 terms and definitions, the highly valuable "References" of over 2,000 entries, and the "Index of Names and Topics" with nearly 1,000 entries, etc.—are extremely valuable for teaching, research, and learning. Therefore, they have all been completely translated and preserved in this Chinese version. Additionally, a series of rich and unique teaching aids and tools are available to accompany the use of this textbook. China Post Press's New Curve Company, in collaboration with Pearson Education Publishing Company, provides free main courseware to teachers using this textbook. As the author states, "Psychology is a science closely related to human happiness." Its unique style of being close to life and deeply practical also makes it an excellent read for the general public to understand psychology, better grasp human nature, and improve their overall quality. The author vividly compares learning psychology with this book to a "journey of wisdom." Choosing this book, you will definitely not regret it. Good luck! This book is divided into 18 chapters, mainly introducing topics such as psychology in daily life, research methods in psychology, learning and behavior analysis, intelligence and intelligence tests, understanding human personality, psychological disorders, psychological therapy, social processes and relationships, and social psychology and culture.
