在今天的大众媒体和图书市场上,到处充斥着关于潜能提升、心理操控、色彩星座、催眠读心等伪装成心理学的主题,更有一些伪心理学家、所谓的心理治疗师打着心理学的旗号欺世盗名,从中渔利。在浩如烟海、良莠不齐的心理学信息面前,如何拨除迷雾,去伪存真,成为一个明智的心理学信息的消费者?这本书将教给你科学实用的批判性思维技能,将真正的心理学研究从伪心理学中区分出来,告诉你什么才是真正的心理学。
《这才是心理学》首版于1983年,30多年来一直被奉为心理学入门经典,在全球大学中享有盛誉,现在呈现在读者面前的是英文第11版。这本书并不同于一般的心理学导论类教材,很多内容是心理学课堂上不曾讲授的,也是许多心理学教师在教学中感到只可意会而不可言传的。作者正是从此初衷出发,以幽默生动的语言,结合一些妙趣横生、贴近生活的实例,深入浅出地介绍了可证伪性、操作主义、实证主义、安慰剂效应、相关和因果、概率推理等心理学中的基本原则。与上一版相比,第11版更新了*新的研究资料和实例以及290篇参考文献。
本书不仅适合于心理学专业的学生,有助于建立心理学研究中必要的批判性思维技能与意识,而其通俗易读性也非常适合所有对心理学感兴趣的读者,它将帮助你纠正对心理学的种种误解,学会独立地评估心理学信息,用科学的精神和方法理解自己和他人的行为。此外,由于心理学与其他学科的共通性,本书也不失为一本精彩有趣的科学哲学类读物。
基思·斯坦诺维奇(Keith E. Stanovich),目前担任加拿大多伦多大学人类发展与应用心理学的国家首席教授,他的研究领域是推理和阅读的心理学机制。他于2010年获得格威尔美尔教育奖(Grawemeyer Award in Education)。他至今已发表了200多篇科学论文。在一项对于论文引用率的调查中,斯坦诺维奇位列引用率*高的50位发展心理学家之一,也是25位*高产的教育心理学家之一。他所撰写的《这才是心理学》(How to Think Straight about Psychology)一书被全球300多所心理学高等教育机构采用。
