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.

Sound & Hearing A Conceptual Introduction

Sound & Hearing A Conceptual Introduction

The major aim of this book is to introduce the ways in which scientists approach and think about a phenomenon - hearing - that intersects three quite different disciplines: the physics of sound sources and the propagation of sound through air and other materials the anatomy and physiology of the transformation of the physical sound into neural activity in the brain and the psychology of the perception we call hearing. Physics biology and psychology each play a role in understanding how and what we hear. The text evolved over the past decade in an attempt to convey something about scientific thinking as evidenced in the domain of sounds and their perception to students whose primary focus is not science. It does so using a minimum of mathematics (high school functions such as linear logarithmic sine and power) without compromising scientific integrity. A significant enrichment is the availability of a compact disc (CD) containing over 20 examples of acoustic demonstrations referred to in the book. These demonstrations which range from echo effects and filtered noise to categorical speech perception and total more than 45 minutes are invaluable resources for making the text come alive. | Sound & Hearing A Conceptual Introduction

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

The Science of Philosophy

The Science of Philosophy

Originally published in 1981 this book was an attempt to bridge the gap between scientists and philosophers by viewing philosophy at least in part through scientific eyes. Professor George is not here concerned with the philosophy of science. Rather he is looking at classical philosophical issues from the behavioural or scientific viewpoint. Thus from the perspective of science he attempts to establish an understanding of philosophy. The author intended it primarily for behavioural scientists systems theorists and cyberneticians of the time who should have been closely bound up with the philosophical-scientific relationship. | The Science of Philosophy

The Science of the Couple The Ontario Symposium Volume 12

The Science of the Couple The Ontario Symposium Volume 12

Although love and relationships have been focal points for poets and philosophers for thousands of years these topics had not traditionally been the focus of empirical research. As a result very little was known about how couples maintained happiness and satisfaction in their relationships or how relationships deteriorated ultimately ending in separation or divorce. However since the early 1980s relationships research has blossomed as a field – and is now one of the most vibrant topics in social psychology and beyond. This volume brings together the latest research on couple functioning from the perspectives of social and personality psychology neurobiology health and clinical psychology. Additionally the research presented highlights the use of survey experimental implicit and longitudinal methods as well as specialized techniques employed in neuroscience psychophysiology and psychoneuroimmunology in the study of couple level processes. The underlying aim of this volume is to examine how these theories and methods converge to provide a deeper holistic model of couples’ processes and functioning. With its state-of-the-art integrative overview of this exciting discipline The Science of the Couple is essential reading for social psychologists clinicians and anyone with an interest in the dynamics of interpersonal relationships. | The Science of the Couple The Ontario Symposium Volume 12

Personality in the Social Process

Personality in the Social Process

First published in 1985. This book presents a new way to ask an old question. Many fields have considered the nature of the influence that members of a group exert on the course of social events. Social science provides another way to examine this issue. Moreover social science has a particular strength: It helps us to phrase questions more precisely than before it encourages us to follow a line of rea­soning systematically and it requires us to evaluate our ideas in light of a par­ticular kind of evidence. The authors want to use these strengths to explore systematically the ways that factors in the person and in the environment to­gether may shape the emergence of social behavior. | Personality in the Social Process

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

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

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

Memory and Miscarriages of Justice

Memory and Miscarriages of Justice

Memory is often the primary evidence in the courtroom yet unfortunately this evidence may not be fit for purpose. This is because memory is both fallible and malleable; it is possible to forget and also to falsely remember things which never happened. The legal system has been slow to adapt to scientific findings about memory even though such findings have implications for the use of memory as evidence not only in the case of eyewitness testimony but also for how jurors barristers and judges weigh evidence. Memory and Miscarriages of Justice provides an authoritative look at the role of memory in law and highlights the common misunderstandings surrounding it while bringing the modern scientific understanding of memory to the forefront. Drawing on the latest research this book examines cases where memory has played a role in miscarriages of justice and makes recommendations from the science of memory to support the future of memory evidence in the legal system. Appealing to undergraduate and postgraduate students of psychology and law memory experts and legal professionals this book provides an insightful and global view of the use of memory within the legal system.

Psychology of Emotion

Psychology of Emotion

Since the turn of the twenty-first century the psychology of emotion has grown to become its own field of study. Because the study of emotion draws inspiration from areas of science outside of psychology including neuroscience psychiatry biology genetics computer science zoology and behavioral economics the field is now often called emotion science or affective science. A subfield of affective science is affective neuroscience the study of the emotional brain. This revised second edition of Psychology of Emotion reviews both theory and methods in emotion science discussing findings about the brain; the function expression and regulation of emotion; similarities and differences due to gender and culture; the relationship between emotion and cognition; and emotion processes in groups. Comprehensive in its scope yet eminently readable Psychology of Emotion serves as an ideal introduction for undergraduate students to the scientific study of emotion. It features effective learning devices such as bolded key terms developmental details boxes learning links tables graphs and illustrations. In addition a robust companion website offers instructor resources.
