I was surprised too. How about Taking Sides
then? I've used them in three different courses.
Also, just remembered another one that's terrific,
though I haven't used it in a long time. It's called: "Sources:
Notable Selections in Psychology." It's by Terry F. Pettijohn, published
by Dushkin (again - boy, they get around). It's got a lot more of the big
guns - Rosenthal and Jacobson's "Teacher Expectancies," Watson's behaviorist
article, Sperry's article on hemispheres, but also more current ones like
Loftus' eyewitness report. Mostly it IS filled with classics - but good
classics.

Subject: Re: A few good readings for
Intro Psyc
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.

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.
