Forty Studies that Changed Psychology: Explorations into the History of Psychological Research: International Edition

Autor Roger R. Hock, Ph.D.
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 apr 2008
This unique book closes the gap between psychology textbooks and the research that made them possible by offering a first hand glimpse into 40 of the most famous studies in the history of the field, and subsequent studies that expanded upon each study's influence. Readers are able to grasp the process and excitement of scientific discovery as they experience an insider's look at the studies that continue today to be cited most frequently, stirred up the most controversy when they were first published, sparked the most subsequent related research, opened new fields of psychological exploration, and changed most dramatically our knowledge of human behavior.

Caracteristici noi

TAKE A LONG LOOK . . . In the early 1960s, Robert L. Fantz discovered a new way of allowing us to peer inside the perceptions of infants: looking at what they are looking at. It turns out that even very young infants prefer to look at certain objects or events over others. By measuring this behavior, referred to as preferential looking, researchers have been able to study infants’ knowledge and perception in many and varied contexts. This methodology, along with some enhancements to it (also pioneered by Fantz), remains today, nearly 50 years later, the most widely employed technique when psychologists and others wish to study the perceiving, thinking, and knowing processes of infants.
 
 
A PRISON BY ANY OTHER NAME . . .   
The historical timing is perfect to include the Zimbardo prison study now, because a renewed interest has arisen in Zimbardo’s study and the inferences drawn from it over the past several years, due to the high news-profile prisoner scandals in Iraq and various U.S. prisoner policies relating to the war on terror. In basic psychological theory, two forces determine our behavior in a given situation: our internal, dispositional factors (that is, who we are), and the influences of the situation in which we are behaving. In his simulated prison study, Zimbardo, set out to examine how ordinary, random people’s behavior might change when placed in a situation that carries with it a great deal of inherent power, in this case, a prison.
