Straight Choices The Psychology of Decision Making

Straight Choices The Psychology of Decision Making

Straight Choices provides a fascinating introduction to the psychology of decision making enhanced by discussion of relevant examples of decision problems faced in everyday life. Thoroughly revised and updated throughout this edition provides an integrative account of the psychology of decision-making and shows how psychological research can help us understand our uncertain world. The book emphasizes the relationship between learning and decision-making arguing that the best way to understand how and why decisions are made is in the context of the learning and knowledge acquisition which precedes them and the feedback which follows. The mechanisms of learning and the structure of environments in which decisions are made are carefully examined to explore their impact on our choices. The authors then consider whether we are all constrained to fall prey to cognitive biases or whether with sufficient exposure we can find optimal decision strategies and improve our decision making. This edition highlights advances made in judgment and decision making research with additional coverage of behavioral insights nudging artificial intelligence and explanation-based decision making. Written in a non-technical manner this book is an essential read for all students and researchers in cognitive psychology behavioral economics and the decision sciences as well as anyone interested in the nature of decision making. | Straight Choices The Psychology of Decision Making

Developmental Aspects of Health Compliance Behavior

Developmental Aspects of Health Compliance Behavior

While in the late 1970s and early 1980s health compliance research on adults represented a vigorous field of study a marked decline of interest on the topic set in during the last part of the 1980s. By contrast research on health compliance involving pediatric populations was less popular during the same period; however interest in this topic - as evidenced by the contributions to this volume - is on the increase. Four main themes - relating to theory measurement prevention and intervention - emerge and are interwoven among the chapters. These themes help to bind and unify the volume into a conceptual whole because although the sections are divided along thematic lines contributors often include elements of some or all of the themes in their chapters. This state of affairs reflects the interdependence of these thematic issues and suggests how important they are for the state of the art. | Developmental Aspects of Health Compliance Behavior

Information Processing in Animals Memory Mechanisms

Information Processing in Animals Memory Mechanisms

First published in 1982. During the past fifty years dramatic changes have occurred in the use of laboratory animals to study learning and memory. Yet the basic reasons for this research diverse as they are have not changed. At one extreme is the need for relatively direct application of findings with animal models to medical or educational problems of humans; at the other extreme the quest for understanding animal behavior for its own sake. It is probably fair to say that no chapters in this book represent either of these extremes although in each case the author’s purposes can be said to be like those of some scientists working in this area fifty years ago. In contrast to this continuity of purpose the approach that scientists now take in this area of study is really quite different from that of most or all scientists in the 1930s. | Information Processing in Animals Memory Mechanisms

Principles of Social Psychology Third Edition

Principles of Social Psychology Third Edition

Originally published in 1987 this third edition won praise from students and instructors alike for its challenging no nonsense approach to the field. Thoroughly updated to reflect current research of the time the text retains the qualities that had become its hallmarks: a cognitive approach to the process of socialization and an emphasis on the ideas that give the discipline continuity. It offers clear conceptually integrated discussions of all of the major topics in social psychology from the time. Shaver's focus on the concepts of social psychology provides a framework for students to develop their own applications. The principles of social behavior are presented in the text in the same way they develop in the individual moving from internal processes (social perception self-recognition) to external issues (the environment the law) that influence behavior. Shaver weaves contemporary issues into his treatment of basic theories using examples from everyday situations. His supple writing engages students in the complexity of social behavior and is one reason this title remained one of the most highly regarded texts in the field at the time. | Principles of Social Psychology Third Edition

Social Cognition How Individuals Construct Social Reality

Social Cognition How Individuals Construct Social Reality

Social cognition is a key area of social psychology which focuses on cognitive processes that are involved when individuals make sense of and navigate in their social world. For instance individuals need to understand what they perceive they learn and recall information from memory they form judgments and decisions they communicate with others and they regulate their behavior. While all of these topics are also key to other fields of psychological research it’s the social world—which is dynamic complex and often ambiguous—that creates particular demands. This accessible book introduces the basic themes within social cognition and asks questions such as: How do individuals think and feel about themselves and others? How do they make sense of their social environment? How do they interact with others in their social world? The book is organized along an idealized sequence of social information processing that starts at perceiving and encoding and moves on to learning judging and communicating. It covers not only processes internal to the individual but also facets of the environment that constrain cognitive processing. Throughout the book student learning is fostered with examples additional materials and discussion questions. With its subdivision in ten chapters the book is suitable both for self-study and as companion material for those teaching a semester-long course. This is the ideal comprehensive introduction to this thriving and captivating field of research for students of psychology. | Social Cognition How Individuals Construct Social Reality
