Social psychologist David Myers is a communicator of psychological science to college students and the general public.

His scientific writings, supported by National Science Foundation grants and fellowships and recognized by the Gordon Allport Prize, have appeared in two dozen academic periodicals, including Science, the American Scientist, the American Psychologist, and Psychological Science.

David has interpreted psychological research for the public through articles in more than three dozen magazines, from Scientific American to Christian Century, and through fifteen books. His textbook, Psychology (Worth Publishers), is the bestselling introduction to psychology for students available today, with its briefer counterpart, Exploring Psychology, the number #1 textbook for its market as well. Always at the forefront of teaching innovation, Myers has also created modular versions of each text, offering the same expert level of content in much smaller units or modules that can be read in one sitting (for example, the modular version of Psychology presents the text in 55 brief modules instead of 18 full-length chapters). Myers has also championed innovation in both print and media supplements, and his texts are always accompanied by a support package that is helpful, easy to work with, and full of new ideas for teaching and learning.

David Myers is a Seattle native, an all-weather bicyclist, and an avid noontime basketball player and fan of his college's basketball teams. David and Carol Myers married while undergraduates at Whitworth College and are parents of three adult children, sons Peter and Andrew, and a daughter, Laura.
