For over twenty years, psychologist Richard Wiseman has examined the quirky science of everyday life. In Quirkology, he navigates the oddities of human behavior, explaining the tell-tale signs that give away a liar, the secret science behind speed-dating and personal ads, and what a person’s sense of humor reveals about the innermost workings of his or her mind—all along paying tribute to others who have carried out similarly weird and wonderful work. Wiseman’s research has involved secretly observing people as they go about their daily business, conducting unusual experiments in art exhibitions and music concerts, and even staging fake séances in allegedly haunted buildings. With thousands of research subjects from all over the world, including enamored couples, unwitting pedestrians, and guileless dinner guests, Wiseman presents a fun, clever, and unexpected picture of the human mind.

評分如今各种类型的有关心理行为分析的图书颇为畅销,《怪诞心理学》也是其中一部。美国还有一部电视剧叫Lie to Me,专门讲这个,在国内听不少人说看过。我自己也看过两集,里面甭管是谁男的女的老的少的都爱撒个谎骗个人,编了瞎话以后浑身不自在,小动作特别多,自己还不觉得以为...
評分别看书名起得怪诞,内容其实一点都不怪诞,就是在普及心理学的基本知识。最多,就是其中不少解释、结论与我们的直觉和常识背道而驰,而这,也是很多心理学研究结果的共同特点。 这本书涉及心理学的四个分支,其中两个,的确有点小众,譬如时间心理学和灵异心理学,我想,这大...

前一半是認認真真看的,後來就走馬觀花瞭,總是覺得如果心理學僅僅靠隨機抽樣來進行概率統計,那麼其結論也是隨機的,不具有普遍性和理論性。
评分看完很有收獲,給我看事物的一個新角度,也讓我對心理學更有興趣。不過能感覺到這本書還是比較大眾嚮,有不少地方有趣有餘、詳實嚴密不足。
评分可讀性還是不錯的
评分我特彆喜歡這本書的思維方式。(副標題:從黑星座理論這件事說起)
