From Booklist

Gr. 4^-6. A follow-up to Psychology for Kids (1990), which helps children learn about their own behavior, this book explores why others behave as they do. People, paper and pencils, and a copy machine to reproduce written tests are the principal requirements of the 40 experiments, which investigate such things as gender differences, learning skills, perception, and logic. Kincher adds a sprinkling of classic concepts and terms and guidelines for interpretation. She also makes it clear that the experiments aren't rigorously scientific, just fun and challenging. A great change from the usual "science experiment" book, this will leave some kids absolutely fascinated. Stephanie Zvirin --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Product Description

Are people more logical or emotional? How do people make judgments? Do males and females see things differently? Can we shape other people’s behavior? Are we more alike or more different? Based on science and sound psychological concepts and research, 40 interesting experiments make it fun for kids to learn about what makes people tick. Each experiment, explained with step-by-step instructions, sharpens young people’s skills as experimenters, researchers, and observers of human nature. The more teens find out about others, the more they learn about themselves.
