This first course in psychology introduces students to how we think, see, feel, learn, talk, act, grow, fear, like, love, hate, lust, and interact. The site features writing assignments, sample exams from previous terms, a selection of lecture notes, class handouts and "chapter notes" representative of the course content.

Course 9.00W is taught by Professor Jeremy Wolfe. OCW also presents a version of Introduction to Psychology, 9.00P, taught by Professor Steven Pinker.

这堂课程总览人类行为与心智生活的问题，问题的范围从你如何看东西到你为何坠入爱河都有。最大的争议：先天与后天、自由意志、意识、人类个体差异、自我与社会。学生将会接触到的理论观点包括生物、演化、认知，以及精神分析。心理学最棒的地方之一是，你就是研究的主题。因此，课堂上可以做很多实例演练，让你体验正在学习的主题。授课与教科书的作用互相串联。整个课程会分成较小的时段，以供讨论、口头报告、以及与讲师的个别接触。

This course surveys questions about human behavior and mental life ranging from how you see to why you fall in love. The great controversies: nature and nurture, free will, consciousness, human differences, self and society. Students are exposed to the range of theoretical perspectives including biological, evolutionary, cognitive, and psychoanalytic. One of the best aspects of Psychology is that you are the subject matter. This makes it possible to do many demonstrations in lecture that allow you to experience the topic under study. Lectures work in tandem with the textbook. The course breaks into small recitations sections to allow discussion, oral presentations, and individual contact with instructors.
