《改变心理学的40项研究》的独到之处在于填补了心理学导论性书籍和心理学研究类著作之间的沟壑，从历史的角度深入阐述了心理学目前具有里程碑意义的40项研究，并介绍了这些研究的后续进展和相关研究。全书分为十个专题，分别为：人类行为的生物学基础，意识和知觉，条件作用和学习，认知、记忆和智力，毕生发展，动机和情绪，人格，心理障碍，心理治疗以及人类互动和社会行为。自1992年首版以来，《改变心理学的40项研究》一直是备受推崇的心理学畅销书，成为世界各地许多大学和中学的参考教材，且已被译为6种语言。作者罗杰?霍克不仅是一位心理学家，同时也是很好的教育家和作家，他用自己简练的思维和生动的语言，将“枯燥的”心理学经典研究，变成了一个又一个引人入胜的故事。阅读此书，会让你感到心理学将不再“枯燥”，不再“远离实际”，也不再“高不可攀”。同时，阅读这些经典研究，还会让你信服现代心理学的确是“硬”科学，并折服于心理学大师们的绝妙思路和天才的想法。《改变心理学的40项研究》第7版新增了在心理学目前极具影响力的两项研究。项是罗施自1973年以来的革命性发现，她通过巧妙的方法来研究人类大脑对颜色的分类；第二项是近年来的研究，它基于研究目的来使用核磁共振脑成像（MRI）直观地揭示人脑活动。此外，更新了很多研究报告中的“近期应用”部分，反映了进入21世纪以来这40项研究被引用的情况。此次修订还对全书译文进行了精心修订和编校，修正了译文中不少错漏之处。
