"e;If a child falls victim to a crime, or becomes witness to it, they may well be questioned by the police. Perhaps even tasked with selecting a suspect from a line-up. But how reliable can a child be under such strenuous circumstances?In this book, Dr. Ben Cotterill explores practices and influences that can increase or decrease the accuracy of children's testimonies. Memory mechanisms and general developmental factors behind the capability of child witnesses are outlined, demonstrating their ability to describe or identify. Factors that affect jurors' perception of said children are also looked into in detail.There have been many instances in which poor interviewing practices with children led to false imprisonments. Said occurrences demonstrate how both situational factors and individual differences can potentially compromise children's eyewitness performance. Based upon what we now understand, can recommendations be made, so that, in a court of law, innocence is the key to achieving justice?

What is a meaningful life? What does it mean to flourish? Antonia Case, the co-founder of New Philosopher and Womankind magazines, quits her corporate job in the city and, with her partner, travels across the world in search of meaning. In a quest to find answers, she turns off the soundtrack of the media, rids herself of technology, and with little more than books as carry-on luggage, she journeys from Buenos Aires to Paris, from Barcelona to Byron Bay, seeking guidance from ancient philosophers and modern-day psychologists on what is a good life, and what is a life worth living. Along the way she discovers why winning the lottery doesn't make you happy, why making is better than having, and how love and belonging are vital to our sense of selves.Packed with insight into life's big questions, Flourish will take you on a riveting journey in search of what matters most.

Dieses Buch gibt in fünf Themenfelder gegliedert einen Überblick über die Emotionsforschung in der kulturübergreifenden Psychologie. Es werden kulturelle Ähnlichkeiten und Unterschiede in verschiedenen Aspekten von Emotionen erörtert ¿ vom emotionalen Ausdruck über die emotionale Anerkennung bis hin zur Emotionsregulation. Die Emotionsforschung aus der Perspektive der interkulturellen Psychologie ermöglicht den Leser:innen eine differenziertere Sicht: Es geht nicht nur um den Unterschied zwischen Individualismus und Kollektivismus, sondern auch darum, wie der breite Kontext viele psychologische Prozesse dazwischen beeinflusst, die wiederum die emotionale Verarbeitung und Reaktion steuern. Das Buch enthält einen systematischen Literaturüberblick auf der Grundlage maschinell generierter Inhalte. Fragen und zugehörige Schlüsselwörter wurden für die Maschine vorbereitet, die sie abgefragt, entdeckt, zusammengestellt und durch Clustering mit künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) strukturiert hat. Springer Nature hat in den letzten Jahren viel zu dem Thema in Zeitschriften veröffentlicht, so dass die Herausforderung für die Maschine darin bestand, die relevantesten Inhalte zu identifizieren und sie in einer strukturierten Weise zu präsentieren. Die automatisch generierten Literaturzusammenfassungen dienen Fachkräften aus den Bereichen Psychologie, Erziehung und Wirtschaft, aber auch Wissenschaftler:innen und Studierenden dazu, sich schnell einen Überblick über die aktuelle Entwicklung des Themas zu verschaffen. Sie sollen außerdem als Anregung und Impuls für aktuelle Forschungsfragen, für neue Strategien sowie für mögliche Lösungen in schwierigen Situationen nützlich sein.

Dieses aktuelle und anwendungsorientierte Lehrbuch bringt führende Wissenschaftler zusammen, um zu veranschaulichen, wie wichtige Theorien und Konzepte der Sozialpsychologie helfen, Verhalten vorherzusagen und zu erklären, und wie sie erfolgreich auf soziale und praktische Probleme angewendet werden können. Es konzentriert sich auf robuste Theorien und Modelle, die für ihre erfolgreiche Anwendung bekannt sind, und deckt ein breites Spektrum von Bereichen ab - von Interventionen im Klassenzimmer über Gesundheitsverhalten und finanzielle Entscheidungsfindung bis hin zum Klimawandel und vieles mehr. Jedes Kapitel besteht aus einem theoretischen Teil, in dem die Schlüsselkonzepte definiert und die Theorie zusammengefasst werden, sowie aus einem Anwendungsteil, der die Forschung in einem angewandten Kontext zusammenfasst und Details zu einer bestimmten Studie einschließlich des jeweiligen Anwendungsumfelds liefert. Das Lehrbuch zeigt fachkundig, wie die Theorie sinnvolle Vorhersagen fürreale Kontexte machen kann, und scheut sich nicht, die potenziellen Hürden und Fallstricke bei der Anwendung einer Theorie und der ihr zugrunde liegenden Konzepte in einem bestimmten Kontext zu erläutern. Entscheidend ist, dass dieses Format auf die Überprüfung der Theorie in angewandten Kontexten abzielt und eine genauere Untersuchung der Gründe und Umstände ermöglicht, warum und unter welchen Umständen Interventionen erfolgreich sein können, um einen gewünschten Verhaltens- oder psychologischen Endzustand zu erreichen.Zu den untersuchten Themen gehören: Mindset-Theorie der Handlungsphasen und Wenn-dann-Planung Qualität der Motivation in der Selbstbestimmungstheorie Die Fokustheorie des normativen Verhaltens Theorie der sozialen Identität und Theorie des Kontakts zwischen Gruppen Gruppenübergreifende Vergebung Social Psychology in Action ist ein wichtiges Hilfsmittel für fortgeschrittene Studenten der Sozial- und Kulturpsychologie sowie für Studenten der Verhaltensökonomie, die ein tieferes Verständnis der wichtigsten Theorien und Anwendungen dieser Bereiche entwickeln möchten. Praktiker, die in den Bereichen Organisationsverhalten und -management, Gesundheitskommunikation, Sozialarbeit sowie Erziehungswissenschaft und Pädagogik tätig sind, werden das Buch ebenfalls als relevant für ihre Arbeit empfinden.

Trauma and Dissociation joins expert knowledge about trauma, mind programming, & dissociation from both lived experience & the perspective of a therapist; this book is designed to help people living with a dissociative disorder as well as carers supporting them & helping to aid their recovery. It has a focus on the use of systemic mind programming in the context of cults and the associated trauma of this ritualistic abuse; this book addresses a gap in resources to provide training and therapeutic approaches to both those living with mind control & installed Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), and those who support them such as a carer, family member, or mental health professional. DID is a condition that is provoked from the experience of being mind controlled, enabling abusers to manipulate their victims during and beyond the period of abuse, whilst simultaneously occurring naturally as a survival mechanism. Developed from both lived experience and expert knowledge from a specialist in trauma work, content covers therapeutic approaches such as attachment theory and trauma-informed care, established training approaches for support staff, and personal survival stories.

This title is the first in the series "The Diamond Soul Character" and develops the Diamond Soul character's concept based on Christ's main character strengths.Ever wanted to learn how to improve your character to mimic Christ's? Have you ever wondered how to live a meaningful Christian life in today's society? What about the interplay between faith and reason and the importance of self-esteem in shaping one's destiny? Ever questioned why so many relationships between people living a Christian life are empty, unfulfilling, and end in disaster? Ever struggled to understand the mysterious connection between two human hearts, which beat in perfect harmony, yet maybe miles apart?The second edition of this self-help book will give you a solid framework for self-improvement and personal growth. Besides, I will also show how to build a Christlike character, which I call the Diamond Soul, under the Holy Spirit's guidance. Why do we need divine guidance? First, because we are believers living a Christian life, and second, we cannot do such a huge task alone. The Diamond Soul results from the cooperative yet mysterious work of the Holy Spirit in us and ourselves. We supply in a positive manner the know-how, the sweat, and the perseverance. The Holy Spirit provides guidance. The result? The growth of your persona from an ordinary believer into a highly moral mighty Warrior in Christ.At the same time, I realize that science must provide the know-how, processes, and methods necessary to undertake such a massive personal growth project. For this reason, I draw on the fields of positive psychology, neuroscience, and human behavior. I use the latest findings regarding the undeniable bond between thoughts, self-esteem, and conduct. I add my personal observations about the role spirituality plays in this too complicated and volatile mix.In Five Stepping Stones to a Christlike Character, I use two metaphors. The first is the image of a beautifully cut, strong, and valuable diamond to help people visualize their character crafted after Jesus' own. The second depicts the arduous path up a mountain slope, using stepping stones found along the way, leading to the valuable diamond located on the peak. They cannot exist without one another. You cannot reach the diamond on the summit unless you climb the mountain toward it. Conversely, if you climbed any other mountain, your efforts will have been in vain.This book is based on my experience and struggle for personal growth, searching proactively for God, and developing moral character traits aspiring to be like Christ. The battle to change me has transformed my life and made me a more positive person. The new moral authority and self-esteem, which the Diamond Soul character afforded me, had a tremendous impact on the people around me, be they family members, friends, employees, or business associates.I believe the book is unique because:¿ It anchors deeply one's moral character, self-esteem, and behavior in the Christian faith.¿ It provides a gradual approach to personal growth and spiritual development by building on Christian virtues and time-tested core values.¿ It uniquely blends faith and reason to support the processes and methods advocated in the book.¿ It offers a solid scientific background and proven, practical step-by-step instructions on creating a pragmatic framework for self-improvement.So, dear Christian, build your Diamond Soul character traits not only for your benefit but for the gain of others and the glory of God. Be fearless - go out there and spread its teachings. Meet your God-ordained destiny to better yourself first, then to improve the world around you-one soul at a time, one group at a time, one organization at a time.God bless your journey!

People with borderline personality disorder (BPD) experience such violent and frightening mood swings that they often fear for their sanity. They can be euphoric one moment, despairing and depressed the next. There are an estimated 18 million sufferers of BPD living in America today, each displaying remarkably similar symptoms such as: a shaky sense of identity; Sudden outbursts of anger; Oversensitivity to real or imagined rejection; Brief, turbulent love affairs; Intense feelings of emptiness; Eating disorders, drug abuse, and other self-destrucive tendencies; An irrational fear of abandonement and an inability to be alone. For years BPD was difficult to describe, diagnose, and treat. But with this guide, the authors offer professional advice, helping victims and their families understand and cope with this affliction. This completely revised and updated edition includes information on the most up-to-date research that has opened doors to the neurobiological, genetic, and developmental roots of the disorder, as well as the connections between BPD and substance abuse, sexual abuse, post-traumatic stress disorder, ADHD, and eating disorders, making it a reference for understanding and living with BPD.

Nivedita (a.k.a. Identitti), blogger og studerende, får vendt tilværelsen på hovedet, da Saraswati, hendes forgudede superstar-professor i postkoloniale studier, viser sig i virkeligheden ikke at have den etniske og kulturelle baggrund, hun har påstået. Identitti er en roman, der ryster hele vores forståelse af politisk korrekthed. Fortællingen udstiller de sociale mediers magt i debatten om identitetspolitik og stiller spørgsmålstegn ved, hvor grænserne går, når vi definerer vores egen identitet – og skal vi nødvendigvis være født med en særlig kulturel arv for at gøre krav på den?Identitti er en kæmpe publikumssucces i Tyskland og var en af de mest omtalte bøger i hjemlandet i 2021. Bogen var desuden shortlistet til den prestigefyldte Deutscher Buchpreis. Mithu Sanyal er uddannet i Kulturelle Studier, er journalist, forfatter og samfundsdebattør.

In diesem fesselnden Buch untersucht der Psychologe Brian Hughes, was die wissenschaftliche Psychologie über die Dynamik des Brexit enthüllt, was der Brexit uns über uns selbst lehrt und was wir tun können, um mit seinen kurzfristigen Auswirkungen und langfristigen Folgen umzugehen. Anders als die meisten kulturellen Umwälzungen ist der Brexit nicht das Ergebnis einer zufälligen Tragödie oder eines spontanen wirtschaftlichen Aufruhrs. Vielmehr existiert er, weil die Menschen beschlossen haben, ihn zu vollziehen. Er ist ein Produkt der menschlichen Psychologie - in entscheidender Weise geprägt von den Wahrnehmungen, Vorlieben, Ideen, Selbstbildern, Gruppenzugehörigkeiten und mehr oder minder begründeten Schlussfolgerungen der Menschen. Im Buch wird erörtert, wie Denkfehler und Kontrollillusionen die Sichtweisen sowohl der Leaver als auch der Remainer verzerren. Es zeigt wie ansonsten unbegründete Überzeugungen in der Alltagskultur gedeihen. Außerdem erforscht der Autor die psychologischen Auswirkungen des Brexit - auf soziale Einstellungen, Zukunftsdenken und die kollektive und individuelle psychische Gesundheit.

This book takes an insider perspective of the psychological issues of creating policy. Instead of considering what the products of policy are - often the case in psychological and political science work - this book examines the individual processes present in proposing and engaging with policy. The individual who engages with the policy and its meanings, the individual who resists the policy through conformity, and the individual who writes the policy for their own ideological purposes are all political actors in a psychological system.This book puts forward a cultural political psychology as the psychological study of the process of values, policy, and power dynamics. Through exploring public policy through private policy generation and individual interaction, this book pushes theoretical understandings of policy and activism in new ways. Centering on an individual's own values in facing various policy restrictions from governments, parents, or peers, the importance of examining collective actions and also collective inactions of individuals is noted and expanded on in the text.The book provides applications of its arguments through examining the processes of unionization and actualized democracy. It seeks to point out new research avenues, including the hypogeneralization of values, one's exclusion through activism, and everyday revolutions. This book addresses the centrality of the individual and meaning-making systems when considering where policy, politics, and psychology intersect. This book is primarily addressed to psychologists and political scientists interested in how to make change in public policy. While the experiences within the book are United States-centric, the thoughts and theories behind them are meant to be applicable to a wide variety of political systems. As there is currently very little literature on the topic, this book seeks to fill the gap and offer concise information on such an important dimension of cultural and political psychology. It is expected that the book will be of great interest for researchers in these areas, as well as for graduate-level students. In particular, this book will be relevant to researchers and students working on political psychology, public policy, development, community psychology, social representations, semiotics, activism, and social movements, to name a few.

The debut essay collection from music and culture writer, Emily Bootle, This is Not Who I Am is a timely and original exploration of our modern obsession with authenticity, and its impact on our lives and societies.

Man's interest in character is founded on an intensely practical need. In whatsoever relationship we deal with our fellows, we base our intercourse largely on our understanding of their characters. . . . Because the feelings are in part mirrored on the face and body, the experience of mankind has become crystallized in beliefs, opinions, and systems of character reading which are based on physiognomy, shape of head, lines of hand, gait, and even the method of dress and the handwriting. . . . A few of the methods used have become organized into specialties, such as the study of the head. ﷓Introduction, The Foundations of Personality
