Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The scientific field of comparative psychology studies the mental processes and behavior of non-human animals. It deals with the study of adaptive significance, phylogenetic history and development of behavior. By using different methods, it attempts to explore the behaviour of a variety of species ranging from insects to primates. The ultimate goal of the field is to establish principles of generality that focus on proximate and ultimate causation. The discipline focuses on the evaluation of target behavior of animals from different and complementary perspectives. The research in this discipline is closely related to the field of animal cognition, which focuses on understanding processes that govern complex behavior. The various areas of research in this field are individual, social and reproductive behavior. This book contains some path-breaking studies in the field of comparative psychology. The book also elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to this area of study. Coherent flow of topics, student-friendly language and extensive use of examples make this book an invaluable source of knowledge.

Download or read book Comparative Methods in Psychology written by M. H. Bornstein and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-01-14 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1980. Psychology is today increasingly diversified, sophisticated, pluralistic, and specialized, and psychologists venture beyond the confines of their narrow subdiscipline only rarely. Yet psychologists with different specialties encounter similar problems, ask similar questions, and share similar concerns. Unfortunately, there are far too few forums for the expression or exploration of what is common in psychology. The series, Crosscurrents in Contemporary Psychology, is intended to serve as such a forum. The purpose of this volume, Comparative Methods in Psychology is to make available to the psychological community thoughtful essays that examine the history, philosophy, theory, methodology, and experimentation representative of major comparative methods. The chapters in this collection are intended to introduce students of psychology to specialized modes of comparison from the perspectives of prominent contributors and to promote mutual discussion among comparativists of issues and concerns common to all types of comparison.
