When I completed the first edition of this text (in1986, with publication in 1987), I wouldn’t have
believed that five more editions would follow over the next 23 years. Nor could I have imagined that
so many eminent psychologists – the researchers whose theories and research findings form the basis
of this very book – would actually be contributing to this sixth edition. I’m flattered that they wished to ‘participate’ and also delighted that they have revealed themselves as ‘real’ human beings, who happen to have taken a psychological path (rather than ‘mere’ names in a textbook or a student essay). What could be more appropriate in a textbook of psychology!
What their contributions also show is that there’s always a ‘story’ behind a theory or chosen research
area. Research doesn’t appear out of nowhere: as with everything else in life, a huge number of interacting variables contribute to what we do, when and where we do it, who we may do it with, how it turns out, and so on. Psychologists are no exception! So, every time you read about a particular study, psychological concept or construct, or full-blown theory, remember that behind it are one or more human beings, like yourself in many respects.
