The conceptual representation and the measurement of psychological forces
Lewin, K. (1938)
Durham, N. C.: Duke University Press.
- Nominator's statement
- Agency is pictured in a psychological space. This sets dynamic cognitive forces in motion as a function of values, and it presents a way of picturing the movement of propositions and values. A psychology of attitudes and attribution balances natural logic and pragmatic valuing of goals with cognitive dynamic movement in phenomenological space.
comments
- This work contains a lot of claims about mathematical elaboration and rigor, which are nonetheless too vague to do calculations within, let alone to link to empirical data. This book should not be on the list.
