Psychology 4

By Kenneth Goldstein

Psychology 4 is the final, capstone volume in the acclaimed high-school psychology series by Kenneth Goldstein, PhD-a comprehensive bridge between secondary education and college-level psychological study.

This textbook brings students to the highest level of pre-university mastery, integrating the core disciplines of psychology into a single, coherent framework. Building on the foundations of Psychology 1-3, this volume develops the advanced thinking skills required in first-year college coursework: multi-level reasoning, scientific literacy, evidence evaluation, cross-cultural understanding, systems thinking, and applied decision science.

Students will explore:
- How cognition, emotion, society, culture, and biology interact to shape human behavior
- How to analyze psychological problems across multiple levels of explanation
- How technology and digital environments influence modern thinking
- How behavioral economics predicts real-world decision-making
- How to learn, study, and think like a future college psychology major
- How to evaluate scientific research, avoid cognitive biases, and write evidence-based arguments
- How to apply psychological principles to communication, teamwork, leadership, and adulthood

Every unit is designed to exceed high-school expectations while preparing students for academic success in higher education. Clear explanations, integrated concepts, end-of-unit reviews, structured writing prompts, and real-world examples make this the most advanced and complete volume in the series.

This is the definitive pre-college psychology textbook-rigorous, accessible, and designed to empower the next generation of psychology scholars.

Perfect for:
- Advanced high-school psychology courses
- College prep programs
- Homeschool curriculum

- Students planning to major in psychology or behavioral sciences
