Social Psychology Through Experiment

Social Psychology Through Experiment

Although widely taught to undergraduates teachers managers and adult students practical work and demonstrations in social psychology were often found very difficult to carry out satisfactorily. Originally published in 1962 this book presented for the first time a series of experiments which would work in a classroom setting: some are modified versions of classical experiments others were new. Several experiments are presented together with discussion of their background and implications in each of a number of central areas of social psychology. Each topic has been covered by a different author who has carried out research in the area in question and is experienced in demonstrating the main experimental facts in practical class work. The editors have written a challenging introduction in which some of the basic issues involved in experimental work in social behaviour are raised. | Social Psychology Through Experiment

Do I See Us Like You See Us? Consensus Agreement and the Context of Leadership Relationships A Special Issue of the European Journal of Wo

The quality of relationships between leaders and followers continues to be a relevant topic for researchers and practitioners. The importance of that relationship cannot be overestimated because it is a lens through which followers view their entire work experience. Also the relationship between followers is considered vital for team functioning. To date there are many unanswered questions regarding various aspects of work relationships. This Special Issue contributes to the examination of the broader context of leader-member dyads. Contributions focus on consensus in follower perceptions of their leader and the level of agreement between leaders and followers on their shared relationship | Do I See Us Like You See Us?

Group Processes

Group Processes

It is impossible to understand human behavior without understanding the critical role that groups play in people’s lives. Most of us belong to a range of formal and informal groups including families work teams and friendship cliques. These groups absorb a great deal of our time and energy and are instrumental in satisfying our most fundamental needs. In addition they connect us to larger social aggregates (e. g. political parties business organizations religious denominations) that influence our lives in important ways. This volume provides a comprehensive overview of classic and contemporary issues in the field of group processes. Chapters are written by internationally known experts who have made major theoretical and empirical contributions to the study of groups. The broad and up-to-date coverage of the book makes it an essential resource for advanced undergraduates graduate students researchers and practitioners.

Property A Study in Social Psychology

Property A Study in Social Psychology

First published in 1931 this book represents an attempt to study the psychological basis of the institution of property. There had been many psychological and social studies of marriage and religion prior to publication of this title but none which considered the problems which arise when the institution of property is viewed from the angle of social psychology. Some of these problems are set out in the first chapter. In the remaining chapters the author discusses the problems in the light of evidence drawn from the various branches of psychology and sociology of the day. The final chapter indicates the importance of the author’s conclusions for political and social theory at the time. | Property A Study in Social Psychology

Detection and Prevention of Identity-Based Bullying Social Justice Perspectives

Detection and Prevention of Identity-Based Bullying Social Justice Perspectives

Bullying in schools has become the focus of a growing body of literature; however much of that work diminishes the role of social context social identities and prejudices despite extensive research evidence suggesting that many victims of bullying are targeted because of an aspect of their social identity. This book demonstrates how the prevention and intervention of this phenomenon termed identity-based bullying is a social justice issue. Expanding beyond bullying prevention that focuses on individual perpetrators the book examines identity-based bullying in schools as a microcosm of larger systemic tensions and conflicts. The author utilizes a social constructivist perspective to understand the experiences of children as active agents in their own lives. She also provides an international framework to describe the impact of culture social structures and politics from the US and the UK. Challenges and barriers to addressing identity-based bullying are explored and recommendations are made for best practices for teachers administrators and mental health professionals to prevent and respond to identity-based bullying. | Detection and Prevention of Identity-Based Bullying Social Justice Perspectives

Extraordinary Memories for Exceptional Events

Extraordinary Memories for Exceptional Events

Not all memories are created equal. Our memories for some very exceptional events seem to stand out in our minds and as such they may form the very core of who we are. Perhaps you have a vivid recollection of a fateful day an unforgettable face or a hilarious joke. This book summarizes theories and data that provide insight into these extraordinary memories for exceptional events. The book begins with a classification scheme for exceptional events followed by a theoretical overview grounded in four metaphors of memory. The classification scheme and theoretical perspectives are used to explore topics including: flashbulb memories the influence of emotion on memory the bizarre imagery effect the humor effect the serial position effect and the isolation effect. The conclusion provides a framework for understanding these outstanding memories for exceptional events.

Introduction to Human Development and Family Studies

Introduction to Human Development and Family Studies

Introduction to Human Development and Family Studies is the first text to introduce human development and family studies (HDFS) as inextricably linked areas of study giving students a complex yet realistic view of individuals and families. Pioneers of research paradigms have acknowledged that the family is one setting in which human development occurs. Moreover in many academic programs the lines of these two disciplines blur and much work is inherently multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary. This book helps to fortify an understanding of HDFS and subareas within it. Vignettes from current HDFS students as well as new professionals an overview of the lifespan stage(s) within the family context a wide description of research methods and applications current policy issues relevant to the area and discussions of practice/careers coupled with strategies for pursuing specializations or careers in the area are hallmarks of this textbook. Introduction to Human Development and Family Studies is essential reading for students new to the major and minor wanting to know: What is HDFS? Who are the people involved in HDFS? Why is HDFS important? How does theory and research inform work in HDFS? What does the pursuit of being an ethical professional require? What are the key areas in HDFS? Incredibly user-friendly both on the page and online the text also features the following resources: Chapter Summaries where the main points of each chapter are pinpointed at the end of every chapter for review and study. Key Terms listed and defined within the margins of every chapter a complete Glossary at the end of the text and Flashcards online for additional review and study. Challenge: Integration section at the end of each chapter that underscores concepts from the chapter and draws connections between content presented in other chapters. Journal Questions to encourage reflection about the content and encourage thinking about some of the content coupled with students’ own experiences. Suggested Resources that lists relevant websites books articles and video links for further study. A Closer Look at Applied Experiences Appendix outlines the internship process and shows how the internship experience can be meaningful and useful and a Consuming Research Appendix that focuses on what it means to be a consumer of research the knowledge and skills consumers need and considerations for transitioning from a consumer of research to a producer of research.

Modelling Word Recognition and Reading Aloud A Special Issue of the European Journal of Cognitive Psychology

Modelling Word Recognition and Reading Aloud A Special Issue of the European Journal of Cognitive Psychology

Computational modeling has tremendously advanced our understanding of the processes involved in normal and impaired reading. While previous research has mainly focused on simulating reading aloud of monosyllabic words in English the present special issue highlights some new directions in the field of word recognition and reading aloud. These new lines of research include the learning orthographic and phonological representations in both supervised and unsupervised networks and the extension of existing models to multi-syllabic word processing both in English and in other languages such as Italian French and German. The special issue also covers hotly debated issues concerning the front-end of the reading process the neural plausibility of current models of word recognition and naming the viability of Bayesian approaches to understanding reading as well as the long-standing opposition between rule-based and statistical learning. Finally this special issue includes simulation work on novel benchmark phenomena such as the effects of fast phonology masked onset priming and syllabic neighbourhood. Altogether the present special issue provides a critical analysis and synthesis of current computational models of reading and cutting edge research concerning the next generation of computational models of word recognition and reading aloud. | Modelling Word Recognition and Reading Aloud A Special Issue of the European Journal of Cognitive Psychology

The Mirror Neuron System A Special Issue of Social Neuroscience

The Mirror Neuron System A Special Issue of Social Neuroscience

Mirror neurons are premotor neurons originally discovered in the macaque brain that discharge both during execution of goal-directed actions and during the observation of similar actions executed by another individual. They therefore ‘mirror’ others’ actions on the observer's motor repertoire. In the last decade an impressive amount of work has been devoted to the study of their properties and to investigate if they are present also in our species. Neuroimaging and electrophysiological techniques have shown that a mirror-neuron system does exist in the human brain as well. Among ‘mirror’ human areas Broca’s area (the frontal area for speech production) is almost constantly activated by action observation. This suggests a possible evolutionary link between action understanding and verbal communication. In the most recent years mirror-like phenomena have been demonstrated also for domains others than the pure motor one. Examples of that are the somatosensory and the emotional systems possibly providing a neurophysiological basis to phenomena such as embodiment and empathy. This special issue collects some of the most representative works on the mirror-neuron system to give a panoramic view on current research and to stimulate new experiments in this exciting field. | The Mirror Neuron System A Special Issue of Social Neuroscience

Training Cognition Optimizing Efficiency Durability and Generalizability

Training Cognition Optimizing Efficiency Durability and Generalizability

Training is both a teaching and a learning experience and just about everyone has had that experience. Training involves acquiring knowledge and skills. This newly acquired training information is meant to be applicable to specific activities tasks and jobs. In modern times where jobs are increasingly more complex training workers to perform successfully is of more importance than ever. The range of contexts in which training is required includes industrial corporate military artistic and sporting at all levels from assembly line to executive function. The required training can take place in a variety of ways and settings including the classroom the laboratory the studio the playing field and the work environment itself. The general goal of this book is to describe the current state of research on training using cognitive psychology to build a complete empirical and theoretical picture of the training process. The book focuses on training cognition as opposed to physical or fitness training. It attempts to show how to optimize training efficiency durability and generalizability. The book includes a review of relevant cognitive psychological literature a summary of recent laboratory experiments a presentation of original theoretical ideas and a discussion of possible applications to real-world training settings. | Training Cognition Optimizing Efficiency Durability and Generalizability
