Psychology's most famous theories--played out in real life! Forget the labs and lecture halls. You can conduct your very own psych experiments at home! Famous psychological experiments--from Freud's ego to the Skinner box--have changed the way science views human behavior. But how do these tests really work? In Psych Experiments , you'll learn how to test out these theories and experiments for yourself...no psychology degree required! Guided by Michael A. Britt, creator of popular podcast The Psych Files , you can conduct your own experiments when browsing your favorite websites (to test the "curiosity effect"), in restaurants (learning how to increase your tips), when presented with advertisements (you'd be surprised how much you're influenced by the color red), and even right on your smartphone (and why you panic when you can't find it). You'll even figure out how contagious yawning works! With this compulsively readable little book, you won't just read about the history of psychology--you'll live it! Review: Great easy to read book - Bought for daughter doing psychology Btec. She really enjoyed it, saying ' Oh we've looked at this' and captured her attention. Not basic by any means and really nicely laid out, per experiment, in short sections. Very accessible and nicely done. Recommend Review: Superb condition good value - Very good value books are in mint condition.

Highly Recommend!
I recommend this book for all psychology teachers or anyone else interested in the subject! There are plenty of fun ideas that can be used in the classroom as well as interesting experiments to just try on your own at home. Michael includes information about the original researchers for each of the experiments, so you can find out a lot more about the topics that interest you. Also, the first chapter has some great background information about psychological experimentation and ethics. It's a great addition to my collection of books about my favorite subject, psychology!
