Hypothetical Thinking Dual Processes in Reasoning and Judgement

Hypothetical Thinking Dual Processes in Reasoning and Judgement

Hypothetical thought involves the imagination of possibilities and the exploration of their consequences by a process of mental simulation. In this Classic Edition Jonathan St B. T. Evans presents his pioneering hypothetical thinking theory; an integrated theoretical account of a wide range of psychological studies on hypothesis testing reasoning judgement and decision making. Hypothetical thinking theory is built on three key principles and implemented in a version of Evans' well-known heuristic–analytic theory of reasoning. The central claim of this book is that this theory can provide an integrated account of apparently diverse phenomena including confirmation bias in hypothesis testing acceptance of fallacies in deductive reasoning belief biases in reasoning and judgement biases of statistical judgement and numerous characteristic findings in the study of decision making. Featuring a reflective and insightful new introduction to the book this Classic Edition discusses contemporary theory on cognitive biases human rationality and dual-process theories of higher cognition. It will be of great interest to researchers post graduates as well as advanced undergraduate students. | Hypothetical Thinking Dual Processes in Reasoning and Judgement

Imagery and Verbal Processes

Imagery and Verbal Processes

First published in 1978. In this book the author has attempted to present a systematic theoretical and factual account of the role of higher mental processes in human learning and memory and certain aspects of the psychology of perception and language. The major orienting theme of the book is its dual emphasis on nonverbal imagery and verbal processes (inner speech) as memory codes and mediators of behavior. Based on recent experimental evidence the conceptual approach in a sense represents an integration of pre-behavioristic and behavioristic views concerning the nature of thought. The book is intended both as a textbook and as a theoretical monograph.

Psychology of Fear Crime and the Media International Perspectives

Psychology of Fear Crime and the Media International Perspectives

The media continue to have a significant persuasive influence on the public perception of crime even when the information presented is not reflective of the crime rate or actual crime itself. There have been numerous theoretical studies on fear of crime in the media but few have considered this from a social psychological perspective. As new media outlets emerge and public dependence on them increases the need for such awareness has never been greater. This volume lays the foundation for understanding fear of crime from a social psychological perspective in a way that has not yet been systematically presented to the academic world. This volume brings together an international team of experts and scholars to assess the role of fear and the media in everyday life. Chapters take a multidisciplinary approach to psychology sociology and criminology and explore such topics as dual process theory construal level theory public fascination with gangs and other contemporary issues. | Psychology of Fear Crime and the Media International Perspectives
