Excerpt from Harvard Psychological Studies, Vol. 2 The work to be reported in future in the Harvard Psychological Studies will be work done in this new building, and while the re searches reported in the following pages were completed in the smaller quarters of the old laboratory, it seems natural that this volume, which appears at this new epoch Of our work, should give an account both Of our psychological past and Of the development and purpose Of Emerson Hall. The Harvard Psychological Laboratory was founded in 1891 by Professor William James, who had introduced some experimental features into his psychological lecture courses for some time before the formal Opening Of a regular workshop. Professor James started with two large rooms on the second floor Of Dane Hall, and secured an excellent equipment, especially for the study of the psychology Of the senses. He was assisted by Dr. Herbert Nichols, amd'at once gathered a number Of graduate students for research. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Readings in General Psychology Such a volume has an advantage over a library reserve shelf in that the students will not be discouraged by being unable to reach their assignments when and where they find it convenient to study. It has an advantage over a second textbook in that it contains more than another, Often conflicting, system Of description. In those cases where the instructor is interested in presenting his own system, this volume will furnish reading materials which will be useful without coming into constant conflict with the lectures. While we do not believe that differences Of Opinion should be hidden from the student, we are convinced that constant conflict between instructor and text is very bad from a pedagogical standpoint. We have chosen these readings for the beginning student, and we hope that few of them will be beyond his comprehension. Now and again terms appear in the readings which have not previously been defined. Usually where the meaning Of such terms cannot be inferred from the context, we have defined them in footnotes. It is no dis advantage, however, ii the student is occasionally forced to use a dictionary. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Electronic Inspection Copy available for instructors here The field of social psychology is defined by a number of 'classic studies' that all students need to understand and engage with. These include ground-breaking experiments by researchers such as Asch, Festinger, Milgram, Sherif, Tajfel and Zimbardo. With the help of international experts who are renowned for work that has extended upon these researchers' insights, this book re-examines these classic studies through careful reflection on their findings and a lively discussion of the subsequent work that they have inspired. Organized in a way that way maps onto the content of most introductory courses, this title can work at a number of levels: as an accessible text for introductory classes that present a historical analysis of social psychology via its key studies, or as a broad-ranging text for higher-level courses that survey contemporary theory and encourage critical thinking. More generally, it is a compelling read for anyone who wants to know more about social psychology and the dramatic studies that lie at its heart.

Excerpt from The University of Iowa Studies in Psychology, Vol. 2 These statistics that have been Obtained in the laboratory have been supplemented by some tests made upon school children. As the account Of the latter occurs in fragments under the appropriate topics, it is necessary to state, in this introduction, how the data were Obtained. Six students in a university course in genetic psychology, under the direction Of the writer, made these tests upon chil dren in the public schools Of Iowa City during the spring term Of 1898. These students had previously pursued courses in psychology and pedagogy and undertook the investigation mainly for the sake Of the training. Ten boys and ten girls Of each age from six to fifteen, inclusive, were selected from a grammar school and a primary school. Mr. G. C. Pracker, the principal Of the grammar school, selected and graded the children. A fair distribution Of the Children was Obtained by selecting, from the registers, those whose birthdays fell nearest the day Of the appointment. The respective teachers invited them to come to the school rooms at different periods on Saturday mornings. They were received by a teacher who registered and guided them.
