Title: Re: A few good readings for Intro Psyc

I have used the Annual Editions, published by Dushkin, for several different psychology subjects, and have always been very pleased with them.  At present, I'm using Taking Sides for Child Growth and Development, and I miss my Annual Editions.  I haven't used their choice for Intro., but I'd certainly take a look if I were looking for something along the lines of your suggestions.  They're in paperback too, so not as expensive as a textbook.

Here's their site for an Intro. text.

I'm looking for a few "good" supplementary readings for intro psyc. The students will have a chapter a week (30-35 pp) out of their main intro psyc text.  I would like one really good supplementary reading to go along with each chapter--or maybe two and I'll let the students choose.  It can't be too long, should be easily understood, and should be research oriented.  My plan is to use these as the basis of short homework essays.
   So far, I like the report on "Influence of media violence on youth" from Psychological Science in the Public Interest for the developmental chapter.  The Scientific American article on slavery might be good for the social psyc topic.
    I would really appreciate it if some TIPS participants who have already developed such a reading list would save me some time and share their lists.  If not, maybe you can take a moment to suggest a few good, timely, provocative readings from your own experience.
    I'll post my final compilation back to the group, of course.
