FUNDAMENTALS OFPsychology
“Eysenck’s text balances conceptual sophistication with clear writing and useful summary evaluations, keeping the material accessible. Up-to-date perspectives include the social identity approach to many topics in social psychology. Above all, rather than arbitrarily separating social versus cognitive levels of analysis, the integrated treatment addresses topics like social influences on decision making.”
- Eliot R. Smith, Chancellor’s Professor of Psychological and Brain Sciences, Indiana University
“Twenty years ago Eysenck revolutionized the teaching of cognitive psychology with his most helpful handbook in which thoroughness was combined with clarity of exposition. In the present book the author repeats this achievement for general psychology. Eysenck has picked out the most interesting and inspiring illustrations of the topics typically included in introductory books. On every other page I came across a new study, a new insight or a new twist, which I ticked for future use in my lectures.”
- Marc Brysbaert, Ghent University
“This must be surely one of the most comprehensive psychology textbooks in existence. It covers the diverse and multileveled discipline that psychology is and it does so in a highly sophisticated yet also readable and interesting way. I appreciated the historical perspective, and the focus on long-standing issues that perplexed and fascinated psychological scientists over the years, and found new framings with the introduction of new methods and techniques of inquiry.”
- Arie W. Kruglanski, Distinguished University Professor, University of Maryland
