  Student Resource Site

The Student Resource Site is an important feature of the second Canadian edition of Psychology: The Science of Behaviour. This feature, at the end of each chapter in the text, includes valuable leads for you to investigate the subject of each chapter further. This information will be especially useful during exam times or when you are working on essays or research papers.

"Canadian Connections to Research in this Chapter" highlights all of the Canadian researchers or research institutions discussed in the chapter. The websites of the institutions involved are included so you can search for more information. In some cases the original researchers may not still be located at the university listed, but the department will probably be involved in similar research. Also listed in this section are the recent honours awarded to the authors of these works.

The "Further Readings" section includes articles and research chosen by the authors for further study. The authors have chosen these readings specifically for their quality, relevance, and level of interest.

"Weblinks" have been chosen to enhance your understanding of certain topics. Some of the weblinks contain more extensive lists of links to sights in Canada, the United States, and around the world

For your convenience, the Canadian Connections to Research, Further Readings, and Weblinks are listed below with hotlinks to take you directly to the web destinations.
