Shaping Psychology “‘Shaping Psychology’ is a collection of revealing and stimulating interviews of leading psychologists with research interests ranging from heuristic biases to behavioural genetics. Their careers are captured in entertaining vignettes preceding in-depth discussions of their scientific contributions and their views on such contemporary issues as reproducibility, open science, artificial intelligence and the relevance of psychological research for everyday life. Recommended for those concerned about where Psychology is going in the 21st century and for students hoping to tread that fascinating path.” —Professor Trevor W. Robbins, University of Cambridge “A wonderful book, full of unexpected and insightful answers to probing questions. The full sweep of psychology and the mind sciences is in full display. A must read.” —Professor Michael Gazzaniga, University of California, Santa Barbara “This is a wonderful book. The biographical sketches are fascinating, and the interviews provide insight and wisdom. I highly recommend it to students, psychologists, and the general public.” —Professor “Roddy” Roediger, Washington University, St. Louis “Shaping Psychology is an engaging and often provocative volume filled with fascinating insights from prominent researchers whose work has strongly impacted the development of psychological science. Anyone interested in the past, present, or future of psychology should read this book immediately.” —Professor Daniel L. Schacter, Harvard University “The book offers important insights from leaders in the field of psychology and constitutes a very useful and original contribution to the field.” —Professor James Alcock, York University “I think the project could be an important time-capsule for future generations, offering a glimpse of the psychologists and the discipline as they are found in the early 21st century.” —Professor Lisa Osbeck, University of West Georgia and Past-President of APA Division 1, Society for General Psychology (2020–2021)
