Udviklingspsykologi er en psykologisk disciplin, der beskæftiger sig med forandringer over tid af det enkelte menneskes følelser, perception, tænkning, adfærd og sociale liv, og med ordvalget ’den nye udviklingspsykologi’ dækkes et behov for en opdateret og ajourført præsentation på dansk med rod i ny international forskning og teoridannelse.Over otte kronologiske kapitler, som dækker aldersspektret for foster til sen alderdom, sætter bogen fokus på centrale livs- og kernetemaer – det gælder blandt andet tidlig tilknytning hos det nyfødte barn, mentalisering og moraldannelse i den tidlige barndom, personlighed og temperament i den mellemste barndom, identitetsudvikling i pubertet og ungdom, arbejds- og familierelationer i voksenalderen og livets afslutning ved sen voksenalder.Bogen er skrevet af professorer i udviklingspsykologi, Dion Sommer og Lars Larsen, og forskningssygeplejerskerne Marianne Eg og Susanne Friis Søndergaard, og bogen henvender sig til studerende på pædagog-, lærer-, socialrådgiver- og sygeplejerskeuddannelserne samt til bachelor- og kandidatstuderende på psykologistudier.

This book presents the results of an ethno-psychological study of Mexican siblings which aims to contribute to the study of the relationships between brothers and sisters from the perspective of social psychology. Building upon the Mexican school of ethnopsychology, the study presented in this volume shows how psychosocial processes shape the relationships between siblings and how these relationships affect the development of boys and girls in emerging adulthood (between 18 and 25 years). The relationship between siblings is the first laboratory through which anyone who has a brother or sister learns to establish social relationships. Taking this into account, the study presented in this book analyzed 1240 emerging Mexican adults to identify the most important psychosocial variables that contribute to the establishment and development of sibling relationships. The results of the study show the central role played by attachment styles in the establishment of this relationship and how both positive aspects ¿ such as closeness, similarity-complementarity and complicity ¿ and negative aspects ¿ such as favoritism, jealousy, conflict and aggression ¿ of the relationships between siblings are essential parts of the developmental processes though which boys and girls learn how to establish social relationships.Brothers and Sister in Emerging Adulthood: An Ethno-Psychological Study of Mexican Siblings will be of interest to social, developmental and family psychologists interested in understanding the psychosocial mechanisms behind the most durable relationship in the life of anyone who has a brother or sister.

Zunächst ein zusammenfassender Überblick über die bisherigen Versuche, Kreativität im Rahmen der Intelligenzforschung, der Schulpädagogik, der betrieblichen Eignungsdiagnostik mittels formaler Verfahren wie Tests festzustellen und zu messen, was zum größten Teil misslang. Nach der Klärung des Konstruktes ¿Kreativität¿ und insbesondere Abgrenzung zur Intelligenz und Problemlösefähigkeit, ausloten der Ansätze und Möglichkeiten, Kreativität für Untersuchungen zu operationalisieren und einzuschätzen. Diese Ansätze betreffen sowohl die ¿Welt der Objekte¿ als auch die sozialen Beziehungen, die sich per se meist neuartigen Herausforderungen zu stellen haben. Schließlich erscheint es geboten, Kreativität im Rahmen der Persönlichkeitsdiagnostik insgesamt zu betrachten und zu diskutieren.

Manipulationen begegnen uns auf ¿Schritt und Tritt¿ und in unzähligen alltäglichen Situationen. Wenn dem so ist, hat das (frühzeitige) Erkennen von Manipulationen absoluten Vorrang.Dies gilt erst recht bei Fachexperten bezüglich ihrer Diagnostik und Analyse. Bei allem, was an verbalen Äußerungen aufgetischt und angeboten wird, steht die versuchsweise Differenzierung zwischen Dichtung und Wahrheit im Focus des Geschehens. Denn nur eine einigermaßen vollständige und wahrheitsgetreue Problemskizze birgt das Potenzial zur Erkenntnisgewinnung bzw. zur Entlarvung von Lügen oder Halbwahrheiten. Lügen, Täuschungen, Ausreden usw. sind manipulative Aktivitäten oder Reaktionen, die einen anderen, nämlich bewusst falschen Eindruck erzeugen sollen. Aber nicht nur in interpersonellen Situationen, sondern auch in größeren sozialen Zusammenhängen oder Systemen sind manipulative Manöver festzustellen und genauer zu erforschen, um z.B. Spiele wie das Schachspiel erfolgreich zu absolvieren oder Probleme durch von allen akzeptierte Regelungen zu lösen.Von dieser Publikation könnten als Zielgruppen besonders profitieren: Führungskräfte, Personalexperten in Wissenschaft und Praxis und Spezialisten, die entweder die Glaubwürdigkeit von Aussagen auf ¿Dichtung und Wahrheit¿ zu beurteilen haben oder sonstigen Betreuungsmandaten nachgehen.

Die psychologische Begutachtung von Familiensystemen, die kulturell und sprachlich nicht originär in Deutschland verwurzelt sind, stellt eine besondere Herausforderung dar. Die Immigrationswellen der vergangenen Jahre haben deutlich gemacht, dass zum Teil Erziehungsstrategien mitgebracht werden, die nicht mit den hier geltenden rechtlichen und gesellschaftlichen Zielen vereinbar sind. Wie sollen oder dürfen Sachverständige Verhaltensmuster und Wertvorstellungen dieser Familien bewerten und beurteilen, ob bereits die Grenze zur Kindeswohlgefährdung überschritten ist? Wie kann zwischen kulturell geprägten Verhaltensmuster und Anzeichen einer psychischen Erkrankung unterschieden werden? Dieses Buch bietet einen Überblick über die Auswirkung unterschiedlicher kultureller Prägungen und von Migration auf Familien, das konkrete Vorgehen von Sachverständigen bei der familienpsychologischen Begutachtungen von Familien mit Migrationshintergrund und darüber, wie erhobene Befunde bewertet werden können

The most up-to-date resource of comprehensive information for conducting cross-battery assessments The Cross-Battery assessment approach also referred to as the XBA approach is a time-efficient assessment method grounded solidly in contemporary theory and research. The XBA approach systematically integrates data across cognitive, achievement, and neuropsychological batteries, enabling practitioners to expand their traditional assessments to more comprehensively address referral concerns. This approach also includes guidelines for identification of specific learning disabilities and assessment of cognitive strengths and weaknesses in individuals from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. Like all the volumes in the Essentials of Psychological Assessment series, Essentials of Cross-Battery Assessment, Third Edition is designed to help busy practitioners quickly acquire the knowledge and skills they need to make optimal use of psychological assessment instruments. Each concise chapter features numerous callout boxes highlighting key concepts, bulleted points, and extensive illustrative material, as well as test questions that help you to gauge and reinforce your grasp of the information covered. Essentials of Cross-Battery Assessment, Third Edition is updated to include the latest editions of cognitive ability test batteries , such as the WISC-IV, WAIS-IV, and WJ III COG, and special purpose cognitive tests including the WMS-IV and TOMAL-II. This book now also overs many neuropsychological batteries such as the NEPSY-II and D-KEFS and provides extensive coverage of achievement batteries and special purpose tests, including the WIAT-III, KM-3, WRMT-3 and TOWL-4. In all, this book includes over 100 psychological batteries and 750 subtests, all of which are classified according to CHC (and many according to neuropsychlogical theory. This useful guide includes a timesaving CD-ROM, Essential Tools for Cross-Battery Assessment (XBA) Applications and Interpretation, which allows users to enter data and review results and interpretive statements that may be included in psychological reports. Note: CD-ROM/DVD and other supplementary materials are not included as part of eBook file.

This authoritative volume presents a detailed analysis of the replication crisis and the use of questionable research practices (QRPs) in psychology, as well as recommended practices for combatting these problems. Ultimately, the book aims to provide a comprehensive, current, and accessible account of the adverse effects of QRPs.The replication crisis in psychology and allied fields has exposed critical flaws in the standard views of research methods, which allow for extensive flexibility in data analysis by investigators and permit the widespread use of QRPs. Chapters examine the intentional use of QRPs such as data fabrication and falsification, along with subtler, unintentional practices such as p-hacking and HARKING (hypothesizing after results are known). Drawing on the growing awareness of these problems, contributors also highlight potential strategies to detect QRPs and minimize their negative impact through open data practices, preregistration of hypotheses and analyses, and adversarial collaborations, in which investigators holding opposing positions on a scientific issue agree to work together on a study in an effort to counteract their respective biases. Among the topics covered:History of controversies in statistics and replicationEmbracing intellectual humility while designing researchConfirmatory vs. exploratory analysesPublication bias and negative resultsPromoting honest and transparent report writingAvoiding Questionable Research Practices in Applied Psychology provides a deeper understanding of how QRPs impede the reliability and trustworthiness of findings in psychology and the social sciences. It will be a practical, useful resource for students and instructors in graduate and advanced undergraduate level research methods classes, along with psychological researchers interested in improving their own research. 

This is the first technical book that considers tests as public tools and examines how to engineer and process test data, extract the structure within the data to be visualized, and thereby make test results useful for students, teachers, and the society. The author does not differentiate test data analysis from data engineering and information visualization. This monograph introduces the following methods of engineering or processing test data, including the latest machine learning techniques: classical test theory (CTT), item response theory (IRT), latent class analysis (LCA), latent rank analysis (LRA), biclustering (co-clustering), and Bayesian network model (BNM). CTT and IRT are methods for analyzing test data and evaluating students' abilities on a continuous scale. LCA and LRA assess examinees by classifying them into nominal and ordinal clusters, respectively, where the adequate number of clusters is estimated from the data. Biclustering classifies examinees into groups (latent clusters) while classifying items into fields (factors). Particularly, the infinite relational model discussed in this book is a biclustering method feasible under the condition that neither the number of groups nor the number of fields is known beforehand. Additionally, the local dependence LRA, local dependence biclustering, and bicluster network model are methods that search and visualize inter-item (or inter-field) network structure using the mechanism of BNM. As this book offers a new perspective on test data analysis methods, it is certain to widen readers' perspective on test data analysis.  

The purpose of this book is to thoroughly prepare diverse areas of researchers in quantification theory. As is well known, quantification theory has attracted the attention of a countless number of researchers, some mathematically oriented and others not, but all of them are experts in their own disciplines. Quantifying non-quantitative (qualitative) data requires a variety of mathematical and statistical strategies, some of which are quite complicated. Unlike many books on quantification theory, the current book places more emphasis on preliminary requisites of mathematical tools than on details of quantification theory. As such, the book is primarily intended for readers whose specialty is outside mathematical sciences. The book was designed to offer non-mathematicians a variety of mathematical tools used in quantification theory in simple terms. Once all the preliminaries are fully discussed, quantification theory is then introduced in the last section as a simple application of those mathematical procedures fully discussed so far. The book opens up further frontiers of quantification theory as simple applications of basic mathematics.

This book 'Essays on Contemporary Psychometrics' provides an overview of contemporary psychometrics, the science devoted to the advancement of quantitative measurement practices in psychology, education and the social sciences. The volume consists of four parts, each having several chapters on cutting-edge work in the field. Part I, General Perspectives on Psychometrics, includes expert views on topics such as psychological models vs. measurement models, using tests in decision making, artificial intelligence, and psychometric network models. Part II, Factor Analysis and Classical Test Theory, the type of psychometrics that is still used most often in the social and behavioral sciences, includes state-of-the-art contributions on test-score reliability, change-score reliability, handling missing data in principal component analysis, test equating, and conditional standard errors of measurement. Part III, Item Response Theory, the leading form ofpsychometrics in modern educational measurement, includes discussions of sampling from many conditional distributions, transparent score reporting, nonparametric item response theory, and targeted testing. Part IV, New Psychometrics, discusses recently developed ideas beyond classical test theory and item response theory, including topics related to computer adaptive testing, response-time modelling, validity indices, diagnostic classification models, and the sparse latent class model for ordinal measurements.Together, these four parts provide an overview of the current state-of-the-art in psychometrics in educational measurement. They are a valuable source of information for graduate students who (intend to) study psychometrics and need an overview of the field, and for researchers interested in the current developments in the field.

All of us are interested in finding out more about ourselves and others. Our natural curiosity of the world applies to our role in it and how we respond to it. DISC is a behavioral model developed by Dr. William Marston in the 1920s intended to identify and categorize (even predict) how we respond to our environment and each other. The strength of the model rests not only in its ability to measure and categorize observable behaviors but also in its capacity to assist each of us to exercise more flexibility with a variety of people and situations. A key component of the book is the DISC 17(c) Self-Assessment, a simple 24-question instrument you can complete in a matter of minutes. The results of your assessment are easily determined, and narratives corresponding to your specific results are provided with fascinating and fun insights into how you perceive your environment and your role in it. Perception is an entertaining yet profound exploration into human connectivity leading to reduced tension and conflict, improved communications, and expanded influence and leadership.
