This book provides an analysis of the human phenomenon of
hesitation, the time elapsing between the stimulation of a person
and that person's response. The views of disciplines as diverse as
physiology and philosophy are examined, with special emphasis
placed on psychology and the social sciences. Leonard Doob seeks to
determine when and why human beings are impulsive or reflective,
and whether, from their standpoint and that of others, their own
hesitation should be extremely brief, long, or protractive. The
volume also cites and summarizes relevant studies and derives
guidelines related to subjective and objective hesitation. Although
partially treated in other books and articles, this work represents
the first book-length study of hesitation. The volume covers a full
range of explanations for hesitation, starting with reflex actions
(the central nervous system) and moving out to encompass an
individual's culture and society, his personality development, and
the influence that others may have over him. The study is divided
into three main parts. An introduction serves to clarify the
starting point for analysis, addressing the explanation and
morality of hesitation and the questions of judgment that affect
it. The next part, (Section 2) analyzes hesitation in terms of
culture and society, personality traits and interrelations, other
persons, and situations. The final section is devoted to selection,
discussing the value of three degrees of hesitation and the
techniques that can be employed to modify impulsivity and
reflection. The book concludes with a list of recommended readings
and a comprehensive index. This important study will be a valuable
resource for psychologists, psychiatrists, and social scientists,
and for courses in psychology, sociology, and anthropology. It will
also be a significant addition to both public and academic
libraries.
