Dyadic And Group Perspectives On Close Relationships Special Issue of International Journal of Behavioral Development

Dyadic And Group Perspectives On Close Relationships Special Issue of International Journal of Behavioral Development

The papers in this special issue apply two recent data analytic techniques to the study of family and close peer relationships. The Actor-Partner Interdependent Model incorporates the perspectives of both participants in a dyad into analyses that describe shared and unique views of the relationship. The Social Relations Model incorporates the perspectives of all members of a group into analyses that ascribe views unique to individuals and relationships and views shared by the entire group. Developmental applications of techniques originally designed for concurrent interdependent data are described. | Dyadic And Group Perspectives On Close Relationships Special Issue of International Journal of Behavioral Development

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

Cognitive Processes in Stereotyping and Intergroup Behavior

Cognitive Processes in Stereotyping and Intergroup Behavior

Originally published in 1981 this volume brings together contributions by several of the authors whose research had contributed significantly to the recent advances in our understanding of the role of cognitive processes in stereotyping and intergroup behaviour at the time. While each chapter reflects a cognitive approach to its subject matter a broad range of topics issues and contexts is addressed by this collection of authors. In the introductory chapter the authors present an historical overview of psychological research on stereotyping discussing historical trends in this literature and summarizing the conceptual orientations which had guided research in this area at the time. This chapter not only provides useful background information for the reader but also presents a broader context within which the current cognitively oriented research on which the remaining chapters focus can be viewed. Each of the next six chapters reports on integrative program of studies bearing on some aspect of the relationship of cognitive functioning to stereotyping and/or intergroup behaviour. | Cognitive Processes in Stereotyping and Intergroup Behavior

Short-term and Working Memory Impairments in Aphasia Data Models and their Application to Rehabilitation

Short-term and Working Memory Impairments in Aphasia Data Models and their Application to Rehabilitation

Research in language processing and language impairment has focused extensively on elements of linguistic representation that are accessed and retrieved in comprehension repetition and production of words and sentences. These studies have provided important information about the effects of characteristics of words (e. g. frequency imageability) and sentences (e. g. syntactic and semantic argument structure) on language processing. A smaller but nonetheless rapidly growing body of research has been directed to understanding those cognitive processes that mediate access maintenance and retrieval of those representations. The papers in this book focus on theoretical accounts of the role of short-term memory and working memory in language processing as well as clinical applications that reflect a focus on these mechanisms of cognitive support to language processing. Each paper provides a theoretical perspective on or clinical application of the most current empirical evidence regarding the role of cognitive processes in relation to language processing. Also common to each paper is an acknowledgement of the need for additional theoretical and clinical research in this area. Although in its relative infancy research addressing relations between language and other cognitive processes is integral for advancing our understanding of the dynamic nature of language impairment in aphasia and also for directly informing its treatment. This book was originally published as a special issue of the journal Aphasiology. | Short-term and Working Memory Impairments in Aphasia Data Models and their Application to Rehabilitation

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

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.

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

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

How To Do Things With Logic Workbook Workbook withExercises

How To Do Things With Logic Workbook Workbook withExercises

In the past 15 years a host of critical thinking books have appeared that teach students to find flaws in the arguments of others by learning to detect a number of informal fallacies. This book is not in that tradition. The authors of this book believe that while students learn to become vicious critics they still continue to make the very mistakes they criticize in others. Thus this book has adopted the approach of teaching the construction of good arguments first and then introducing criticism as a secondary skill. Moreover the emphasis of the book is not on learning to name fallacies but on being able to identify weaknesses in an argument so as to be able to construct an effective critique of that argument. The book is accompanied by a workbook featuring a wealth of examples to help students acquire the material. | How To Do Things With Logic Workbook Workbook withExercises

Anxiety

Anxiety

Anxiety is a complex phenomenon and a central feature of many psychological problems. This new edition of Anxiety part of the popular Clinical Psychology: A Modular Course Series updates the remarkable developments that have occurred in the understanding of anxiety and the astonishing dissemination of effective methods of treatment. This book details the growth of positive psychology with its emphasis on learned optimism and resilience influencing clinical psychology and psychological therapy and explains the new concept of prospection a key element in positive psychology based on the human ability to imagine thoughts and images about the future. It is said that we are influenced by the past but drawn into the future and this notion has significant implications for anxiety. The recent infusion of positivity into theorising about anxiety has introduced a welcome balance into our understanding of this phenomenon. This informative book covers the latest developments in research therapy and theorising containing numerous case-history illustrations about anxiety. It should appeal to practising and trainee psychologists and practitioners in related fields.

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

Treatment as a tool for investigating cognition

Treatment as a tool for investigating cognition

Cognitive neuropsychological research studies of people with cognitive deficits have typically been directed either at investigating methods of intervention or at furthering our understanding of normal and impaired cognition. This book reports on research that combines these goals using studies that use intervention as a ‘tool’ for investigating hypotheses about the functioning of the human cognitive system. The introductory chapter discusses some of the unique and more general difficulties that this approach faces while the five reports describe intervention studies with children and adults with cognitive impairments – studies which investigate current theories of cognition. The studies demonstrate that the use of intervention to study cognition is a promising and valuable methodology. Aiming to promote wider use of these combined methods this book makes it clear that while the approach faces various methodological and interpretative challenges it has the advantage of providing advances on issues of theory while at the same time providing treatment to participants and bringing together what have been largely separate research traditions. This book was originally published as a special issue of Cognitive Neuropsychology. | Treatment as a tool for investigating cognition
