Böcker av Michael W. Eysenck

The scope of the book extends to the effects of anxiety on performance and to the phenomenon of worry, which is regarded as the cognitive component of anxiety. In both cases, a new theoretical framework is presented.

This book discusses psychology in the light of its historical development, some of the major controversies, and considers such areas as social, developmental and cognitive psychology.

While normal individuals obviously differ from each other in all sorts of ways, psychologists have emphasized differences in intelligence and personality. This emphasis is reflected in the book, and various different views are discussed at length.
