Authors

Susan A. Nolan

Susan A. Nolan is Professor of Psychology at Seton Hall University in New Jersey. Susan researches the interpersonal consequences of mental illness and the role of gender in science careers. Her research has been funded by the National Science Foundation. Susan is the 2021 President of the Society for the Teaching of Psychology and a past president of the Eastern Psychological Association (EPA). She is a Fellow of the EPA, the American Psychological Association (APA), and the Association for Psychological Science. She holds an A.B. from the College of the Holy Cross and a Ph.D. from Northwestern University. Susan is fascinated by the applications of psychology to the “real world,” both locally and globally. She served as a representative from the APA to the United Nations for five years, and was a U.S. Fulbright Scholar in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where she and her husband have a home. She loves to travel. Susan uses the examples she encounters through these experiences in the classroom, in this textbook, and in the statistics textbooks that she co-authors. They also provide ideas for the Psychology Today blog that she co-authors on psychology research related to misinformation.


Thomas Heinzen

Tom Heinzen was a 29-year-old college freshman and a magna cum laude graduate of Rockford College. He earned his PhD in social psychology at the State University of New York at Albany in just 3 years. He published his first book on frustration and creativity in government 2 years later; was a research associate in public policy until he was fired for arguing over the shape of a graph; and then began a teaching career at William Paterson University of New Jersey. He founded the psychology club, established an undergraduate research conference, and has been awarded various teaching honors while continuing to write journal articles, books, plays, and two novels that support the teaching of general psychology and statistics. He is also the editor of Many Things to Tell You, a volume of poetry by elderly writers. Tom is a member of numerous professional societies, and is a Fellow of the APA, the EPA, the APS, and the New York Academy of Science. His wife, Donna, is a physician assistant who has volunteered her time in relief work following hurricanes Mitch and Katrina; and their daughters work in public health, teaching, and medicine.
