Behavioral science & psychology

What makes us who we are? This most profound of human questions is what psychology seeks to answer. The primary goal of the behavioral sciences is to more fully understand the sources and expressions of human behavior, toward the improvement of the lives of individuals and societies.

Research in the behavioral sciences touches upon every aspect of our lives including child development, brain functioning, work productivity, our legal system, cultural traditions, as well as learning processes and emotional development. With emerging technologies and a rapidly-changing world, psychology is a science on the move, and this is reflected in our Behavioral Sciences and Psychology eBook collection.
