Psychology in Everyday Life explores the ways in which students can use psychology to enhance their own lives, as individuals, at work, and as socially aware global citizens. Psychology in Everyday Life is founded on concepts of psychological literacy and psychologically literate citizenship (Halpern, 2010; Cranney and Dunn, 2011).These two related concepts consider the ways in which a psychology education can help students and graduates to apply psychology to everyday life in order to solve problems for themselves, for their employers, and in the wider community. The book begins by introducing these concepts, and then introduces the concept of thinking about psychology in relation to the self.Subsequent chapters address psychology in relation to a widening social circle and the text closes with applying psychology in a global context.At each step, the focus will be on learning to think psychologically in everyday situations, and on applying psychology and psychological research methods to solving problems in daily life.
