Differential Psychology

The roles of heredity and environment determinants of human variation--one of the oldest controversies in the study of human differences-- continues to be an issue of major importance. Minton & Schneider's classic work provides an integrated overview of the concepts and research in individual and group differences in psychological functioning. The reader gains an understanding of the ways and the extent to which individuals and groups differ from one another as well as an understanding of the factors responsible for these differences. It guides readers through harder research and takes them into discussions of more sophisticated issues.
