This free psychology textbook includes 13 chapters written by 17 different leading scholars and educators and was edited by Jane Halonen and Steve Davis. It provides a “broad overview of what research agenda and approaches this new century calls for across many of psychology’s subdisciplines.”
I am not entirely sure if this work will help students directly but it does seem like this would be a great start for someone needing a topic for a psychological research paper.
