Rosenzweig, it is being published under the auspices of the International Union of Psychological Science (IUPsyS) by Sage Publications Ltd. in London. This book will be invaluable to advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and academics in psychology, and will also be of interest to students in education, sociology, political science, humanities, philosophy, cognitive sciences, neuroscience, legal sciences, and criminology, and will serve as a general resource reference text. `This is a fine text that will apeal to all of us, who in the words of our esteemed BPS President, Tommy MacKay see ourselves as "first a psychologist - 90 per cent; second a child psychologist working in the field of education - 10 per cent". It′s good to be reminded of the big picture.. this provides a useful resource for a Service library′ - Educational Psychology in Scotland “The Handbook should be a valuable and sought-after tool for the acquisition of psychological knowledge and research. . . . It is highly recommended for acquisition by libraries in universities on a worldwide scale, especially those that offer degree programs in the discipline. The Handbook is well organized and informative. It can well serve both as a text and a resource book for students of psychology and the social sciences as well as for individuals in the general public, internationally, who are curious about psychological science.” ― Contemporary Psychology Published On: 2003-09-15 The International Editorial Advisory Board(IEAB) John Adair University of Manitoba, Canada Ruben Ardila University of Bogota, Columbia Gery d′Ydewalle University of Leuven, Belgium Hiroshu Imada Kwansei Galkuin University, Japan Cigdem Kagitcibasi Koc University of Istanbul, Turkey Kevin McConkey University of New South Wales, Australia Lionel J Nicholas University of Western Cape, Republic of South Africa Juan José Sanchez Sosa National University of Mexico (UNAM), Mexico Durganand Sinha · University ofAllahabad, India Janet T Spence University of Texas, Austin, USA Jan Strelau University of Warsaw, Poland Larry Weiskrantz Oxford University, UK Houcan C Zhang Beijing Normal University, China · deceased CONTRIBUTORS′ AFFILIATIONS OUTSIDE NORTH AMERICA: Maria Amerigo University of Toledo Juan Ignacio Aragones Universidad Complutense de Madrid Ruben Ardila National University of Colombia Federico Bermudez-Rattoni Univ Nacional Autonoma de Mexico Robert Burden University of Exeter Michael Corballis University of Auckland Juan Delius University of Konstanz, Germany Michel Denis Universite de Paris-Sud Pieter Drenth Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam Martha Escobar Univ Nacional Autonoma de Mexico Rocio Fernandez-Ballesteros Universidad Autonoma de Madrid Nico H Frijda University of Amsterdam Peter M Gollwitzer University of Konstanz, Germany Benicio Gutierrez-Dona University of Costa Rica Giyoo Hatano Keio University, Tokyo Michael A Hogg University of Queensland Vera Hoorens University of Leuven, Belgium Kayoko Inagaki Keio University, Tokyo Qicheng Jing Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing Cigdem Kagitcibasi Ko‡ University, Istanbul Heidi Keller University of Osnabruck, Germany Stephen E G Lea University of Exeter Willem Levelt Max Planck Institute, Nijmegen Keng Chen Liang National Taiwan University, Taipei Ingrid Lunt Institute of Education, London Wang Zhong Ming University of Hangzhou, China Gabriele Oettingen Max-Planck Institut, Berlin Ype H Poortinga University of Tilburg, The Netherlands Jose M Prieto Universidad Complutense De Madrid Lea Pulkkinen University of Jyvaskyla, Finland Vladimir M Roussalov Russian Academy of Sciences Ralf Schwarzer Freie Universitat, Berlin M Seimann Konstanz, Germany Carlo Umilta University of Padova Pierre Vrignaud Service de Recherche, Paris Gery d′Ydewalle University of Leuven, Belgium Houcan Zhang Beijing Normal University Used Book in Good Condition
