International encyclopedia of psychology

Abstract

From Ability Testing: Individual and Group to Work Motivation, the International Encyclopedia of Psychology surveys 410 topics in eighteen areas of psychology. These areas, reflected in a thematic index, are: the biological bases of behaviour; cognition; consciousness; developmental psychology; emotion; intelligence and intelligence testing; language; learning; memory; motivation; origin and definition of psychology; personality; psychological methodologies; psycho-pathology; psychotherapy; sensation and perception; social psychology; and stress. Each six-page entry introduces a significant topic in psychology, its vocabulary and application, and provides a selective annotated bibliography. The articles successfully synthesize current research and thought and present material in an intelligible way to students and the general reader.
