This book provides psychologists answers to common psychological questions regarding everyday human behaviour. Do violent video games lead to violence? Does spanking children make them unstable? Can the alcoholic drink socially? Do children raised by gay parents turn out OK? Are eyewitness accounts accurate? Is winter a cause of depression? These questions and others from the world of psychology touch on our everyday experiences, and are also areas of research that many students want to explore further. "How Psychology Applies to Everyday Life" provides the reader with a portal to discovering what psychologists know about these questions. For each question, the authors review a recent research article and provide a straightforward answer to the question. The writing is conversational, informal, and non-technical. The authors deal with topics in a straightforward manner, allowing readers to develop an understanding of each topic.The book divides its 59 questions into sections including, Sex, Booze, and Other Fun Things; Raising the Little Ones; Cops, Robbers, and Forensics; Memory and Intelligence; Anxiety, Stress, and Staying Cool; Odds and Ends; and more. For those interested in further investigation into a topic, the authors provide additional analysis and references. In addition to reviewing recent research, the authors consider questions from the practice of clinical and counselling psychology. Issues in this section are illustrated with actual case studies from the authors' files, and include questions concerning how best to work with couples, whether psychotropic medications (such as anti-depressant and anti-anxiety agents) are effective, and recent developments in counselling techniques.
