Abstract
Psychology: From Inquiry to Understanding empowers students to apply scientific and critical thinking to the psychology of their everyday lives. Students will develop the skills and open-minded scepticism needed to distinguish psychological information from misinformation.
The fourth Australian edition highlights the latest debates and emerging areas of research in psychology. Issues relating to DE&I are tackled more directly as readers are encouraged to question the generalisability of new claims to diverse peoples and contexts. Importantly, each chapter brings Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander lived experiences, perspectives and knowledges into the study of psychology. This edition celebrates and showcases how Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledges and perspectives can sit alongside other knowledges in psychology to enhance psychology graduates' knowledge, responsiveness and competencies in working with diversity.
