Not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Topological psychology may be described non-technically as an attempt to comprehend human behavior in terms of the objects which are present, and of the relations among \"events\" taking place in a given environment (\"life-span\"). Lewin contends that it provides the basis for a truly scientific psychology. The Lewin's equation, B = ƒ(P, E), is a psychological equation of behavior developed by Kurt Lewin. It states that behavior is a function of the person in their environment. The equation is the psychologist's most well known formula in social psychology, of which Lewin was a modern pioneer. When first presented in Lewin's book \"Principles of Topological Psychology,\" published in 1936, it contradicted most popular theories in that it gave importance to a person's momentary situation in understanding his or her behavior, rather than relying entirely on the past.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Martino Fine Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50670975942930,"sku":"9781614277903","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_3b51b7a4-4f65-45a4-ac74-1b0e7d724e37.jpg?v=1733792084","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/principles-of-topological-psychology-9781614277903","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
