Free Online Psychology Textbooks

Whether you are studying a single course in psychology or earning your psychology degree online or off, textbooks can easily become as expensive as your tuition. The good news is that many psychology professors feel your pain and are working to make free textbooks and course materials available online. From scholarly psychology-related papers to complete psychology textbooks, online resources are available to students if they simply know where to look.

Free Online Textbooks

As always, the first place to start is your own college or university's website. Many of the colleges and universities that offer open Courseware and online degree programs have textbooks written by members of their psychology faculties online and that should always be the first place you look for free materials.

This list is far from complete but it is certainly a good place to start when looking for free course materials to assist your studies in psychology.

Statistics & The Study of Psychology

A strong knowledge of statistics is crucial for any student or researcher in the field of psychology. There are a number of free online statistics textbooks that have been designed specifically for psychology students. However, rather than scatter statistics-related texts across all of the disciplines which use them, I've opted to list them all together under the mathematics section of the site.
