Here is another way to find the academic explanations for how we think, feel and behave. This groups theories, etc. into clusters covering very similar topics (sometimes extremely similar!). Note: you may find theories in more than one place. Another note: This is a very short list compared with all that's out there. There is also an alphabetic list of these theories that includes alternative theory names that you might not find here.
