Lay theories - the informal, common-sense explanations people give for particular social behaviours - are often very different from formal 'scientific' explanations of what actually happens. While they have been studied in the past, this is the first attempt to review, in detail, the nature of these beliefs.

Each chapter covers a different area, such as psychology, psychiatry, medicine, economics, statistics, law and education.
