Description
| Summary: | "To give the student the essential facts about psychology in such a way that he can reach an understanding of himself and others, and to teach him how to increase this knowledge when his formal study of psychology has ceased--these objectives have guided the writing of this book. They have imposed three criteria on the presentation of material: to build upon experimental evidence; to make an impartial selection of source materials; and to encourage the reader to think independently. The scientific method is emphasized throughout these pages in terms of an intellectual honesty that demands controlled and rechecked observations and experiments, that examines facts without prejudice and values them above any man's interpretation. In short, the student is encouraged to make the scientific method basic to all of his thinking"--Preface. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
