The Psychology of Belief

By Helge Lundholm

Book Overview

The Psychology Of Belief by Helge Lundholm is a comprehensive exploration of the nature of belief and its impact on human behavior. Drawing on insights from psychology, philosophy, and neuroscience, Lundholm examines the ways in which belief systems shape our perceptions, attitudes, and actions, and how they are influenced by cultural, social, and historical factors. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the origins and functions of belief, the role of cognitive biases and heuristics in belief formation, the influence of emotion and motivation on belief, and the relationship between belief and identity. It also explores the various forms and expressions of belief, including religious, political, and scientific beliefs, and the ways in which they can be both empowering and limiting. Throughout the book, Lundholm provides numerous examples and case studies to illustrate the complex interplay between belief and behavior, and offers practical insights and strategies for individuals and organizations seeking to better understand and manage belief systems. Written in a clear and engaging style, The Psychology Of Belief is an essential resource for anyone interested in the science of belief and its impact on human thought and action.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
