Dimensions of Human Behavior by Elizabeth D Hutchison

Dimensions of Human Behavior by Elizabeth D Hutchison

In this Fifth Edition of her acclaimed text, Elizabeth D. Hutchison uses her multidimensional framework (person, environment, and time) as a way to effectively organize human behavior theory course material in a meaningful way for students. Thoroughly updated to reflect recent developments in the field, the book provides a comprehensive and readable global perspective on the person and environment construct, weaving powerful case studies with recent innovations in theory and research. The book identifies multiple dimensions of both person and environment and draws on ongoing scientific inquiry, both conceptual and empirical, to examine their dynamic interaction in the production of human behavior.

"Of all HBSE texts that have saturated the market, Person and Environment continues to lead the way in thoroughness, structure of content, and relevance for student learning"  

-- Billy P. Blodgett, West Texas A&M University

 "The Hutchison book does an outstanding job of conceptualizing multidimensional understanding, breadth versus depth, and general knowledge and unique situations."

-- Diane Calloway-Graham, Utah State University

"The realistic case studies drive home the point that students are preparing to work with real people confronting serious issues—it adds to the professional development we’re trying to do in our program."

-- Karla T. Washington, University of Louisville
"This text is well written, using fantastic case examples that enhance understanding of the material." -- Donna Taylor, University of Arkansas at Monticello

"Hutchinson offers a unique text by presenting a melding of theory with practice. Utilizing case examples to highlight this intersection of theory, research, and life experiences, this book truly addresses human behavior in the social environment."

-- Carla Mueller, Lindenwood University
