This is the first comprehensive view of the work of scholars in
several different disciplines contributing to the development of
the psychology of science. This new field of inquiry is a
systematic elaboration and application of psychological concepts
and methods to clarify the nature of the scientific enterprise.
While the psychology of science overlaps the philosophy, history,
and sociology of science in important ways, its predominant focus
is on individuals and small groups, rather than broad social
institutions and concepts. The introduction surveys the field and
traces its evolution in a historical context. Several contributors
address epistemological issues raised by the psychology of science.
Subsequent chapters discuss developments in the cognitive
psychology of science, scientific theory, and the influence of
social relationships on scientists' work. The conclusion proposes
an agenda for further progress in this new approach to
understanding science.
