I was motivated to develop this textbook as a resource for my Psychology of Human Relations courses as I was unable to find a free open educational resource (OER) already available in human relations that emphasized the practical application of psychological concepts and also addressed the ways in which culture and diversity impact human relations, to help students engage in positive interactions with others in their personal and professional lives.

Chapter 1: Self-Concept
Chapter 2: Cultural Diversity
Chapter 3: Behavioral Change
Chapter 4: Personality Development

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"For scientists and other academics hoping to translate their findings into political change, policy experts offer the following advice: Tell a good story. Unfortunately, the academic literature—researchers’ go-to source for evidence that things actually work the way people claim they do—says little on how to go about crafting a compelling narrative. For that, says media expert Brett Davidson, researchers must delve into a lesser known but no less copious store of useful know-how: the grey literature. In a recent paper, Davidson outlines how this overlooked body of work provides researchers a manual for landing on the political agenda. A catch-all term for any research or materials not controlled by commercial publishers, the grey literature is a compendium of lessons learned through trial and error. Long a survival guide for policy advocates and activists working in the non-profit world, now, Davidson argues, it’s time for researchers to take advantage, too..."

The rest of the transcript, along with a link to the research itself, is available on the resource itself.

Psychopharmacology is the study of how drugs affect behavior. If a drug changes your perception, or the way you feel or think, the drug exerts effects on your brain and nervous system. We call drugs that change the way you think or feel psychoactive or psychotropic drugs, and almost everyone has used a psychoactive drug at some point (yes, caffeine counts). Understanding some of the basics about psychopharmacology can help us better understand a wide range of things that interest psychologists and others. For example, the pharmacological treatment of certain neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease tells us something about the disease itself. The pharmacological treatments used to treat psychiatric conditions such as schizophrenia or depression have undergone amazing development since the 1950s, and the drugs used to treat these disorders tell us something about what is happening in the brain of individuals with these conditions. Finally, understanding something about the actions of drugs of abuse and their routes of administration can help us understand why some psychoactive drugs are so addictive. In this module, we will provide an overview of some of these topics as well as discuss some current controversial areas in the field of psychopharmacology.

This module provides an introduction and overview of the historical development of the science and practice of psychology in America. Ever-increasing specialization within the field often makes it difficult to discern the common roots from which the field of psychology has evolved. By exploring this shared past, students will be better able to understand how psychology has developed into the discipline we know today.
