Description
Summary:"Much interest has, of late, been manifested in the problem of Character-Formation, and Will-Education. The problem of Character-Formation however, presents peculiar difficulties. It presupposes a Science of Man, capable of explaining the complex, vital dynamism of human activity. Towards such a science, be it realisable or no, the first step must be an efficient Psychology of the Will. Every phase of volitional activity must be fully analysed, and, as it seems to us, such an analysis is alone possible by means of the new experimental method. It was with the object of analysing some phases of the Choice-Process that the present experimental researches were undertaken"--Preface. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved).
