"This book is about the teaching of introductory of psychology. This book is written primarily about man, but does not overlook the evolutionary and bodily origins of his behavior. Our belief is that if the behavior of man is discussed in functional terms--in relation to the organization of activity in development, motivation, emotion, perception, learning, thinking, and social behavior--the student's personal interests in psychology will be strengthened and his needs in understanding behavior will be fulfilled. We have stressed man's persisting patterns of adjustment as the central theme of behavior, and have discussed the mechanisms of response and personality organization in relation to this theme. One of our objectives in writing this textbook has been to reveal the unifying principles of a diversified field and to present with as much order and continuity as possible the scientific story of behavior. With this end in view, we have tried to write the text in a simple, straightforward manner, with few distractions. Each chapter is summarized, and a Glossary has been included. All other aids to students--suggested supplementary readings, study questions, quiz questions, and projects-- are to be found in the Workbook designed to accompany the text"--Preface.
