| Summary: | "This book is intended primarily for students whose academic exposure to psychology may begin and end with a one-semester introductory course or, at most, the introductory course plus one or two elective psychology courses. This means that the book should find its maximum usefulness in engineering, education, business administration, and other curricula where a single semester's course in general psychology is called for. We have set our sights on student interest and scientific respectability in writing this book. An attempt has been made to present psychology in a practical way without excluding the spirit and substance of the science. No attempt has been made to convince the student that a happy and successful life will automatically emerge with the reading of this or any other psychology book. On the other hand, we have not hesitated to say that an understanding of the facts and principles of psychology can equip the student to learn to deal effectively with many of his own personal adjustment problems"--Preface. |
