Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to the Experimental Psychology of Beauty In this little book I have attempted to give an account of some experiments dealing with the psychology of the appreciation of beauty. An effort has been made to render every page intelligible to the general reader, and no previous knowledge of psychology is necessary. A few paragraphs less simple than the rest have been enclosed in square brackets. These can be omitted if desired, without the general drift of ideas being lost. It is only within recent years that men have at tempted to apply the method of experiment to the processes of the mind, and of such work experiments dealing with our appreciation of beauty form only one section. Yet such is the enthusiasm with which the subject has been taken up by a number of investigators that it will be impossible for the writer, in such a small book as this, to give a full account of all the results obtained. An attempt to give a bald summary of the results of all the experiments would probably have confused the novice, for whom this book is intended. I have thought it better, therefore, to deal in each chapter fairly fully with two or three typical and important series of experiments, grouping a number of supplementary experimental results about these. I have ventured to include among these a number of my own experiments, most of them hitherto unpublished. I regret that lack of space has prevented me from referring, except very briefly here and there, to musical experiments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1962, the experimental study of aesthetics was a field particularly associated with the name of C.W. Valentine, who in this book provided a critical review of research carried out since the end of the nineteenth century principally by British and American psychologists. The investigations described, many of them conducted by the author, are concerned with individual responses to what is commonly regarded as beautiful in painting, music, and poetry, an important distinction being made between the perception of objects as ‘beautiful’ as opposed to ‘pleasing’. The reactions of children and adults, and of people having different ethnic and social backgrounds, are explored in a variety of experiments dealing with specific elements, including colour, form, and balance in painting; musical intervals, discord, harmony, melody, and tempo; and rhythm, metre, imagery, and associations in classical and romantic poetry. Other experiments seek to disclose the temperamental and attitudinal factors underlying individual differences in the judgement and appreciation of specific works of art. Of particular interest are the studies of responses to modern paintings, poems and musical compositions. The findings throw light on the development of discrimination and taste and suggest the possibility of some common factor in the appreciation of these three arts. It was felt that critics as well as psychologists and aestheticians would find much to encourage reflection and to stimulate further research.

Download or read book The Psychology of Beauty Classic Reprint written by Ethel D. Puffer and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-14 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Psychology of Beauty is a work authored by Ethel D. Puffer allows readers to immerse themselves in some of the early research into aesthetics and beauty. The Psychology of Beauty consists of a series of eight essays, each dealing with a separate aspect of the subject matter. Several of the essays previously appeared in The Atlantic Monthly and The International Monthly, and thus each essay can be read independent of the others. Together, Puffer's book examines the psychology of beauty in a number of different mediums: fine art, music, literature, nature and dramatic works. The author's goal throughout is to explain how and why we find certain works to be beautiful, and to educate the reader in order to better recognize beauty in works of art and the world at large. Ethel D. Puffer is a skilled writer and is able to build compelling arguments throughout her essays. The Psychology of Beauty is an illuminating work and one that has clearly been well researched. A careful reading of this book will provide readers with an enhanced skill-set for better appreciating the works of art they choose to consume. It is rare to find a work that can help you better appreciate other forms of art, but this is one such work. The Psychology of Beauty is a fascinating read for anybody truly interested in the appreciation of art and its beauty. Puffer's series of essays are informative and entertaining, and thus this work is recommended for anybody with a view to wanting to further there appreciation of fine art.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Beauty Ugliness: And Other Studies in Psychological AEsthetics Dealing with my previous volume, Laura; nobilij, the most intelligent of my critics complained that I took our aesthetic preferences for granted, Without explaining their nature or even proving their exist ence. If that rash reviewer really thirsts for psychological aesthetics, he may find some temporary refreshment in the present volume, Which contains as much of the How and W by of Beauty and Ugliness as I have been able to squeeze out of some rather dry books and out of fifteen years of my own and my fellow-worker's observations. If he, or any other inquisitive person, should then remain With unslaked curiosity about asthetics, he must go to the Psycho logical Laboratories of Germany and America, Where he may, in return for further knowledge, be used up as an experimental subject.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Experimental Psychology and Its Bearing Upon Culture The aim of the present volume is to give an un technical account of certain groups of experiments in psychology and to show something of their signifi cance. As to the particular experiments that are of most interest and importance in this field, of course Opinions would differ. Every one who works in psychology soon finds himself attracted in special directions, and on the whole it is perhaps well for a writer to respect this element of personal affinity. But in preparing the book, I have aimed to present, as best I could within somewhat narrow limits, the character and value of the laboratory psychology, especially as bearing upon our moral and philosoph ical interests. In this way the book is planned to occupy a different field from that already so well covered by the excellent works of Titchener, San ford, and Scripture.

Download or read book Classic Experiments in Psychology written by Douglas G. Mook and published by Greenwood. This book was released on 2004-12-30 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The typical survey course in psychology has time for only limited presentation of the research on which our knowledge is based. As a result, many students come away with a limited understanding of the role of experiments in psychological science. Where do experiments come from and how are they conducted? What are the pitfalls and how can we avoid them? What advantages do they have over intuition, authority, and common sense as guides to knowing and acting? What distinguishes research-based psychology from psychobabble? What have we learned from experimentation in psychology? This book presents, in more depth than textbook treatment permits, the background, conduct, and implications of a selection of classic experiments in psychology. The selection is designed to be diverse, showing that even for research in vastly different areas of study, the logic of research remains the same—as do its traps and pitfalls. This book will broaden and deepen the understanding of experimental methods in psychological research, examining where the research questions come from, how questions can be turned into experiments, and how researchers have faced the problems presented by research in psychology.
