Abstract

Reviews the book, The Psychology of Pleasantness and Unpleasantness by J. G. Bebf-Center. The purpose of the present volume is to remedy the ghost-like state of the psychology of pleasantness and unpleasantness by bringing its facts together into a single orderly structure. The intensive and extensive review of the literature on this subject, the keen analysis of data and the originality of the author's thinking mark him as scholarly and industrious. The reviewer is in sympathy with the belief of the author that pleasantness and unpleasantness play a dynamic role in the adjustment of living organism and as such are important problems for study. It is an excellently done work, with a bibliography that is a model. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
