Editorial Reviews

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

4.0 out of 5 stars Psychology for Kids II, August 9, 2007

By	C. M. Day - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a great book, but it is different from Book I. While Book I has quizzes for the individual to take, this book has experiments that are done sometimes with groups of people. It is still a fun book, but we were hoping for more of an extension of book I. I'd recommend looking at the table of contents before purchasing.

3.0 out of 5 stars For school or work with groups of kids., March 8, 2007

By	Licedys Rodriguez "Lissy" (Panamá, Panamá) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am a Clinical Psychologist and I bought the book thinking it would have a lot of practical excercise to do in a clinical set, but not, the exercise are good but to do with a lot of time and many kids, needs more than 2, so , can be great for a psychologist that works in a school or with groups.
