The book helps readers easily access knowledge about human psychology.

Author of the bookPsychology - Think Psychology -Abigail Baird is a Professor of Psychology at Vassar College. She defines psychology as the study of behavior, overt reactions and actions, mental processes, and the hidden inner workings of the mind...

While philosophers study why people act as they do, psychologists use the scientific method to describe, explain, predict, or control human and animal behavior with precision. The scientific method has been applied to psychology for a relatively recent time. About 130 years ago, psychology was considered a branch of philosophy.

Psychology - Think Psychologyis considered accessible to all audiences because Professor Abigail Baird builds topics close to real life. In addition, scientific knowledge about psychology and other fields is also subtly integrated. Each topic conveyed in the book is associated with stories connecting psychological states.

AuthorstillI recommend that students majoring in psychology or those who are interested in exploring knowledge and academic topics in behavioral psychology should read introductory psychology textbooks for easier absorption.

Abigail Baird believes that studying psychology helps reduce uncertainty about human experience by providing knowledge about ourselves: Why do I have short-term memory loss? How can I increase my IQ?; About others: Why do some people have mental disorders? Why do people have different personalities?; About the world: Do people from different countries see the world differently? How does culture affect personality?...
