Re: A few good readings for Intro Psyc

[David Campbell]

I have the sources mentioned sitting on my shelves (Taking Sides, Annual Ed., Sources, 40 Studies, etc.) but they don't fit my criteria.  Tell you what I'll do.  I'll "cherry-pick" studies that do work for me--pulling from freshman-level journals (PSPB, Psyc Repts, etc.), Annual Editions, and whatever else I can find.  I prefer to keep it contemporary (not classic) and I prefer reports written by the original researchers.  My time is limited but I'll have some annotated choices to post here.  Meanwhile, feel free to send specific suggestions to me privately at [EMAIL PROTECTED]   --Dave Beth Benoit wrote: I was surprised too.  How about Taking Sides then?  I've used them in three different courses.   Also, just remembered another one that's terrific, though I haven't used it in a long time.  It's called: "Sources:  Notable Selections in Psychology."  It's by Terry F. Pettijohn, published by Dushkin (again - boy, they get around).  It's got a lot more of the big guns - Rosenthal and Jacobson's "Teacher Expectancies," Watson's behaviorist article, Sperry's article on hemispheres, but also more current ones like Loftus' eyewitness report.  Mostly it IS filled with classics - but good classics.
