Personal Pedagogical Asides. New to the second edition are personal pedagogical “asides” from the chapter authors to students to help guide their understanding and stimulate their interest. Some of these notes highlight important terms and concepts, prompt students to think critically about the complexities of the issues, and encourage students to apply what they’ve learned. These mini-conversations between the author and the reader help pique students’ interest in a range of psychological topics, developing students’ analytical skills for them to carry and apply well beyond their courses.

This resource provides a range of evidence-based interventions that can be practically applied by students to increase their well-being and the well-being of their friends, family members, romantic partners, and classmates.
