learned helplessness regarding critical thinking skills
11 Feb 2009
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is chock full of bad science, outdated references, and misleading statements. Its content might be appropriate for a consumer magazine, but not for a _good_ consumer magazine. I have to read it for a graduate (!) class, and my critical thinking skills are developing a bad case of learned helplessness. Two thumbs down.
Poorly written, seems like more of a high school text!
10 Feb 2012
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This text was required for my graduate level health psychology class. Perhaps if it's used for early, undergraduate classes it's more appropriate, however for more advanced levels, it is certainly insufficient and inappropriate. It was boring and seemed to be written very simply, almost laughably so.

Health Psychology, Sixth Edition
30 May 2010
Format:Hardcover
I just got through taking this class and am working towards my undergrad degree in an adult education program. I take three classes a year because of the way the financial assistance program is structured at my workplace. I'm not out of the loop as far as studying. This textbook is not as bad as the accompanying "bank" that the teacher used to create six tests for the class. Each test was 100 questions each. The teacher had to throw out several questions because everyone got the answers wrong. The questions were so ambiguous and you could not find definitive answers in the textbook. That is my chief complaint.
