Critical thinking in psychology : [Book] : a unified skills approach / D. Alan Bensley.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

This book presents students with fascinating questions that pique interest and inspire them to think more effectively. Bensley helps readers learn how to think critically about the issues often raised in psychology. By using a general definition of critical thinking, Bensley creates an organizational framework for teaching a set of related, or "unified," skills. All exercises are designed to teach a variety of skills that support inquiry in psychology using a single critical thinking model and vocabulary. Target skills include identifying arguments from nonarguments; finding the central question; evaluating the kinds of quality evidence; making predictions from theories; and constructing good arguments.
