I love "40 studies that changed psychology" by Roger Hock. 40 classic studies explained at the undergraduate level with additional sections of significance (and updated findings (where is that research now). Students also report really liking it.

Beth,
     Thanks for the suggestion (and thanks to Stuart for his suggestions).  My problem is that Annual Editions emphasizes popular press articles (e.g., Time magazine) with all the bias toward "newsworthyness" one might expect.  I'm surprised that no one else on this list has responded.  Am I the only one who teaches intro psyc with supplementary readings that are recent, provocative, research reports suitable for freshmen?  Maybe so.

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'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.
