Forty Studies that Changed Psychology
Explorations into the History of Psychological Research
This unique book closes the gap between psychology books and the
research that made them possible. Its journey through the “headline
history” of psychology presents 40 of the most famous studies in the
history of the science, and subsequent follow up studies that expanded
their findings and relevance.
Readers are granted a valuable insider's look at the studies that
continue to be cited most frequently, stirred up the most controversy
when they were published, sparked the most subsequent related research,
opened new fields of psychological exploration, and changed most
dramatically our knowledge of human behavior. For individuals with an
interest in an introduction to psychology.
