Psychology
Third Edition|©2014 Daniel L. Schacter; Daniel T. Gilbert; Daniel M. Wegner; Matthew K. Nock
Students rarely look at a psychology textbook after leaving college, but they will continue to encounter psychology throughout their lives. With that in mind, renowned authors and researchers Schacter, Gilbert, Wegner, and now Matthew Nock introduce students to today's research with a focus on the critical thinking skills that will stay with them beyond the course term. Quirky examples of thinking gone awry, and scenarios based on common psychological misconceptions are just some of the tools the authors use to get students to question what they think they know about psychological science.

Daniel M. Wegner
Daniel Wegner was the John Lindsley Professor of Psychology in Memory of William James at Harvard University. He received his B.S. in 1970 and Ph.D. in 1974, both from Michigan State University. He began his teaching career at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas, before his appointments at the University of Virginia in 1990 and then Harvard University in 2000. He was a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the recipient of the William James Award from the Association for Psychological Science, the Award for Distinguished Scientific Contributions from the American Psychological Association, and the Distinguished Scientist Award from the Society of Experimental Social Psychology. His research focused on thought suppression and mental control, transactive memory in relationships and groups, and the experience of conscious will. His work on thought suppression and consciousness served as the basis of two popular books, White Bears and Other Unwanted Thoughts and the Illusion of Conscious Will, both of which were named Choice Outstanding Academic Books. He died in 2013.
