Psychology by James S Nairne

Psychology by James S Nairne

In this text, the author treats research and theory of psychology from an adaptive problem-solving perspective. The subject matter of psychology is reframed by placing the major emphasis on how particular behaviours, cognitive processes, and emotions help people solve important adaptive problems.
