In this third edition of his ground-breaking AP® program, Myers Psychology for the AP® Course, Dr. David Myers welcomes a new co-author, Dr. Nathan DeWall from the University of Kentucky. Drs. Myers and DeWall share a passion for the teaching of psychological science through wit, humor, and the telling of poignant personal stories (individually identified in the text by the use of each author’s initials [DM and ND]). Through close collaboration, these authors produce a unified voice that will teach, illuminate, and inspire your AP® students.
Features
Modular Approach: This book is organized by units and modules for easier assignability and readability. Units are divided into 3 to 10 modules each. Each module breaks the course material into a pedagogically appropriate “chunk” that is designed to be presented in one or two class periods, with additional class periods for activities, demonstrations, and reinforcement, as needed.
Learning Targets: The numbering system of the learning objectives is key to the organization of the text. The Learning Targets appear in statement form at the beginning of each module to help orient you to the material you are about to read. These clear and measurable Learning Targets provide you with a snapshot preview of the section material, while allowing you to “check off” each objective as you master it. The objectives are repeated in an engaging question form in context within the module, and then used at the end of each module for review.
Check Your Understanding features, found at the end of major sections of text, include Ask Yourself questions, which encourage students to apply new concepts to their own experiences, as well as Test Yourself questions (with answers in Appendix E) that assess mastery and encourage big-picture thinking.
Module Reviews repeat the numbered objective questions (Learning Targets) and address them with a bulleted summary. Unit Review Sections include page-referenced Terms and Concepts to Remember as well as a list of Key Contributors discussed in the unit.
A full-length AP®-style practice exam is included at the end of the text to ensure your students have nailed down the content and are ready to tackle the exam in May.
A Key Contributors list appears at the end of each unit to highlight the influential figures in psychology your students should know.

David Myers received his B.A. in chemistry from Whitworth University, and his psychology Ph.D. from the University of Iowa. He has spent his career at Hope College, Michigan, where he has taught dozens of introductory psychology sections. Hope College students have invited him to be their commencement speaker and voted him “outstanding professor.” His research and writings have been recognized by the Gordon Allport Intergroup Relations Prize, an Honored Scientist award from the Federation of Associations in Behavioral & Brain Sciences, an Award for Distinguished Service on Behalf of Social-Personality Psychology, a Presidential Citation from APA Division 2, election as an American Association for the Advancement of Science Fellow, and three honorary doctorates.
With support from National Science Foundation grants, Myers’ scientific articles have appeared in three dozen scientific periodicals, including Science, American Scientist, Psychological Science, and American Psychologist. In addition to his scholarly and textbook writing, he digests psychological science for the general public. His writings have appeared in four dozen magazines, from Today’s Education to Scientific American. He also has authored six general audience books, including, in 2022, How Do We Know Ourselves? Curiosities and Marvels of the Human Mind. And he blogs about psychology and life at TalkPsych.com.
David Myers has chaired his city’s Human Relations Commission, helped found a thriving assistance center for low-income families, and spoken to hundreds of college, community, and professional groups worldwide. Drawing on his experience of hearing loss, which now includes a cochlear implant, he also has written articles and a book (A Quiet World) about hearing loss, and he is advocating a transformation in U.S. assistive listening technology (see HearingLoop.org). For his leadership, he has received awards from the American Academy of Audiology, the hearing industry, and the Hearing Loss Association of America.
David and Carol Myers met and married while undergraduates, and have raised sons Peter and Andrew, and a daughter, Laura. They have one grandchild, Allie.
