Forty Studies that Changed Psychology Summary

Forty Studies that Changed Psychology: Explorations into the History of Psychological Research by Roger R. Hock, Ph.D.

For courses in Introductory Psychology, History and Systems in Psychology, and Research Methods.

This unique book closes the gap between psychology textbooks and the research that made them possible by offering a first hand glimpse into 40 of the most famous studies in the history of the field, and subsequent studies that expanded upon each study's influence. Readers are able to grasp the process and excitement of scientific discovery as they experience an insider's look at the studies that continue today to be cited most frequently, stirred up the most controversy when they were first published, sparked the most subsequent related research, opened new fields of psychological exploration, and changed most dramatically our knowledge of human behavior.

Forty Studies that Changed Psychology Reviews

I do... think that Hock has done a commendable job in this book of not only selecting appropriate studies, but providing this useful educational tool for introductory students... Hock keeps his audience interested and writes very elegantly, and yet, concisely... The idea of the book, which is to expose the novice student to the real story of research behind the introductory 'facts' is not only a worthwhile contribution to any introductory class, but an exemplary attempt to portray a more appropriate depiction of psychology to the naive student. This book is well written, engaging, easy to read, and comprehensive. - Misty Hill, Yale University

Hock's text brings class discussions to life... Hock's writing style is very engaging. I know this, because my students praise the work, but more so because I also read it with enthusiasm... most good historians tend to be encyclopedic, Hock's casual style is a welcome change. - James A. Schirille, Wake Forest University

The main strength is that Roger Hock summarizes, with flair and with clarity, some of the most important studies in the history of psychology. - Linda Pierce, Madonna University
