Ten years after winning his first national textbook award, Dr. Gregory J. Privitera, professor of psychology at St. 博纳旺蒂尔 University, has marked the anniversary by winning two more.

The first edition of his new textbook “Essentials of 心理学” has been awarded the 2024 Most Promising New Textbook Award by the Textbook & Academic Authors Association (TAA). 与博士合著. Saul Kassin of John Jay College and Dr. Krisstal Clayton of the University of North Texas, the book was cited for excellence in first-edition textbooks and learning material.

除了, the new fourth edition of Privitera’s bestselling textbook “Statistics for the Behavioral Sciences” has won TAA’s 2024 Textbook Excellence Award, 或“Texty.” The prestigious Texty recognizes excellence in current textbooks and learning materials across four areas: pedagogy, 内容/奖学金, 写作, 和外观/设计.

Both textbooks are published by Sage, a global publisher of books, journals and library resources. Privitera was the first Sage author to earn a TAA national award and is now the first Sage author to earn two national awards for two different textbooks in the same year. He won his first TAA national textbook award in 2014, when his book “研究 Methods for the Behavioral Sciences” won the Most Promising New Textbook Award.

The Text and Academic Authors Association is a national, nonprofit membership association dedicated solely to assisting textbook and academic authors.

“It is quite an honor to be a nationally awarded textbook author in three different major markets — statistics, 研究方法, and introductory psychology,Privitera说. “I’m truly grateful for my brilliant editorial teams at Sage. Their hard work and support in producing my textbook franchise is truly extraordinary. A lot of work goes into 写作 each textbook, and it is sincerely humbling to be recognized for that hard work.” 

Privitera’s books span diverse topics in the data, health and behavioral sciences space. His texts include an introductory psychology text, two best-selling statistics texts (a third is being written), two 研究方法 texts, and multiple other texts bridging knowledge creation across health and health care, 包括一个新的文本, “Toward a Healthy Society,” to be published by Cambridge University Press. 除了, he has authored more than three dozen peer-reviewed papers published with more than 30 St. 博纳旺蒂尔 student authors aimed at advancing the understanding of health and well-being to inform health care policy.

Praised for their conversational, student-friendly 写作 style, Privitera’s books have been adopted at more than 300 institutions worldwide including Harvard, 斯坦福大学, University of Pennsylvania, Johns Hopkins and Columbia, as well as at his home institution, St. 博纳旺蒂尔. 

Dr. 大卫·希尔米，贝博体彩app下载游戏官网 provost and vice president for Academic Affairs, said Privitera’s latest awards further underscore the value of his scholarship and teaching.

“Greg’s awards are national recognition of what our St. 博纳旺蒂尔 students have known for years, that Dr. Privitera is an outstanding instructor who brings clarity, 热情, and excellence to the classroom,希尔米说. “Students across the country benefit from his commitment to teaching excellence through his texts. These awards are wonderful recognition of his work and the impact he has had on countless students in psychology.”

Privitera的贝博体彩app下载游戏官网 faculty colleagues have honored him with three awards of excellence: the Award for Professional Excellence in Teaching, the Award for Professional Excellence in 研究 and Publication, and the Junior 教师 Award. His research has earned recognition by the American Psychological Association and in media and press outlets including Time magazine, the Wall Street Journal, 和O, 奥普拉杂志.
