GENERAL PSYCHOLOGY IN TERMS OF BEHAVIOR BY STEVENSON SMITH, PH. D. PROFESSOR OF PSYCHOLOGY IK THjEuNlVERSITY OF WASHINGTON AND EDWIN R. GUTH IE, PH. D. f ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF PSYCHOLOGY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON D. APPLETON AND COMPANY NEW YORK LONDON 1921 COPTBIQHT, 1021, BT APPLETON AND COMPANY PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AVEftXCA PREFACE In this book an attempt is made to state in terms of behavior the facts and principles of general psychology. Although the field it covers is jsomewhat more extended than that of most text-books in psychology, the authors have sought to make the book compact as well as sys tematic. For efficiency of teaching much traditional but unnecessary detail has been omitted. Only such facts of physiology as have important significance in an introductory course are included. Many blind-alley topics, an acquaintance with which has been considered a polite accomplishment in psychology, have been de liberately disregarded. The facts set forth are those which lead the student to a systematic explanation of his own conduct and that of his fellows. The purpose of the book is to describe mans original nature, the way in which this nature is altered by use, and the com mon modes of individual and social behavior that result. S. 8. E. B.
