This volume is about understanding the 'self' from a scientific
perspective. The self is a well-established research area in a
variety of disciplines including clinical psychology,
communication, developmental psychology, social psychology and
sociology. This book pulls together, in one place, comprehensive
and interesting descriptions of some of the most stimulating, newly
emerging research programs on the self. Each chapter, by a leading
authority in the field, describes a unique research program, based
on solid empirical research. Contributing authors include a mix
between established names and emerging researchers whose mark on
the field will grow in years to come.
Researching Creativity in Second Language Acquisition explains the
links between creativity and second language learning and how to
propel the research of creativity as an individual difference in
second language acquisition forward at multiple levels. It features
an array of sample research questions and methods for student and
professional researchers, ranging from simple projects that can be
executed from start to finish in 15 weeks all the way to multi-year
project guidelines for more advanced scholars with additional time
and resources. It also features in-class and out-of-class activity
suggestions that will reinforce concepts in fun and creative ways.
Using this book as a guide will save researchers time and effort in
designing and executing their next projects as well as save
instructors time in class planning. This book will be an invaluable
resource to students and researchers of SLA, applied linguistics,
TESOL, and psychology.
Originally published in 1977, this sixth volume of an international
series presented new and original material in the broad area of
human performance. Included are the most recent findings, modern
methodologies, and latest models and theories that indicate the
trends and focus on recent points of debate. Among the topics
covered are reaction processes, perceptual encoding, selective
attention, visual search, processing a recognition of words as well
as the reading process, and memory. This volume will be of
paramount interest to experimental psychologists, from graduate
students to post-graduate research workers.
Psychologist Sharon Lamb and philosopher Jeffrie Murphy argue that forgiveness has been accepted as a therapeutic strategy without serious, critical examination. Chapters by both psychologists and philosophers ask: Why is forgiveness so popular now? What exactly does it entail? When might it be appropriate for a therapist not to advise forgiveness? When is forgiveness in fact harmful?
This workbook provides hands-on activities, strategies, planning
sheets and progress trackers for use with children with selective
mutism at home, at school and in the wider community. Written by
selective mutism expert Maggie Johnson and parent coach Junhua
Reitman, the workbook includes first-hand accounts of how children
can overcome SM successfully using the activities and strategies
described in this book. Activities are organised around the daily
routines of school and family life, and each activity is broken
into a progression of small steps with appropriate strategies and
an accompanying record sheet to track progress. Activities include:
Using the toilet at school Attending social gatherings Organising a
successful playdate Initiating conversation Talking in the
classroom Eating with peers. This workbook is essential reading for
parents, professionals and anyone who is looking for a toolkit for
selective mutism. It also provides a useful extension to The
Selective Mutism Resource Manual, second edition, focusing on the
'how' to compliment the manual's 'what' and 'why'. Small steps
really do lead to big changes but taking the first step can be the
most difficult. This book helps you make that first step.

Humans have long neglected to fully consider the impact of their
behaviour on the environment. From excessive consumption of fossil
fuels and natural resources to pollution, waste disposal, and, in
more recent years, climate change, most people and institutions
lack a clear understanding of the environmental consequences of
their actions. The new field of behavioural environmental economics
seeks to address this by applying the framework of behavioural
economics to environmental issues, thereby rationalizing
unexplained puzzles and providing a more realistic account of
individual behaviour. This book provides a complete and rigorous
overview of environmental topics that may be addressed and, in many
instances, better understood by integrating a behavioural approach.
This volume features state-of-the-art research on this topic by
influential scholars in behavioural and environmental economics,
focussing on the effects of psychological, social and cognitive
factors on the decision-making process. It presents research
performed using different methods and data collection mechanisms
(e.g. laboratory experiments, field experiments, natural
experiments, online surveys) on a variety of environmental topics
(e.g. sustainability, natural resources). This book is a
comprehensive and innovative tool for researchers and students
interested in the behavioural economics of the environment and in
the design of policy interventions aimed at reducing the human
impact on the environment.

"Relating Events in Narrative, Volume 2: Typological and Contextual
Perspectives" edited by Sven Stromqvist and Ludo Verhoeven, is the
much anticipated follow-up volume to Ruth Berman and Dan Slobin's
successful "frog-story studies" book, "Relating Events in
Narrative: A Crosslinguistic Developmental Study" (1994).
Working closely with Ruth Berman and Dan Slobin, the new editors
have brought together a wide range of scholars who, inspired by the
1994 book, have all used Mercer Mayer's "Frog, Where Are You?" as a
basis for their research. The new book, which is divided into two
parts, features a broad linguistic and cultural diversity.
Contributions focusing on crosslinguistic perspectives make up the
first part of the book. This part is concluded by Dan Slobin with
an analysis and overview discussion of factors of linguistic
typology in frog-story research.
The second part offers a variety of theoretical and methodological
perspectives, all dealing with contextual variation of narrative
construction in a wide sense: variation across medium/modality
(speech, writing, signing), genre variation (the specific frog
story narrative compared to other genres), frog story narrations
from the perspective of theory of mind, and from the perspective of
bilingualism and second language acquisition. Several of the
contributions to the new book manuscript also deal with
developmental perspectives, but, in distinction to the 1994 book,
that is not the only focused issue. The second part is initiated by
Ruth Berman with an analysis of the role of context in developing
narrative abilities.
The new book represents a rich overview and illustration of recent
advances in theoretical and methodological approaches to the
crosslinguistic study of narrative discourse. A red thread
throughout the book is that crosslinguistic variation is not merely
a matter of variation in form, but also in content and aspects of
cognition. A recurrent perspective on language and thought is that
of Dan Slobin's theory of "thinking for speaking," an approach to
cognitive consequences of linguistic diversity. The book ends with
an epilogue by Herbert Clark, "Variations on a Ranarian
Theme."

The Vulnerable Humanitarian challenges the prevalence of stress and
burnout culture within the aid sector, laying bare the issues of
power, agency, security and wellbeing that continue to trouble
organisations and staff. Engaging and insightful, this book
illustrates the problematic and unrealistic expectations of aid
workers through the archetype of the perfect humanitarian, and
considers why burnout is so endemic, yet so rarely acknowledged,
within aid organisations. The book provides practical means through
which staff and managers can reflect upon and discuss damaging
organisational cultures and behaviours, and develop a more
inclusive and caring work environment. Drawing on original academic
research and interviews with national and international aid workers
and development experts, the book proposes a feminist, anti-racist
and decolonial agenda in challenging oppressive systems and
structures within the sector. With extensive professional
experience as an aid worker herself, Gemma Houldey also shares her
own struggles with mental health and what she has learned from
feminist practices for self- and collective care. Proposing new
ways of addressing wellbeing that are sensitive to the
multi-faceted personalities and lived experiences of people working
on aid and development programmes, The Vulnerable Humanitarian is
essential reading both for current aid sector employees and for
prospective employees and students.
The first book to explore conflict resolution in coaching

This foundational text was one of the first books to integrate work
from moral philosophy, developmental/moral psychology, applied
psychology, political and social economy, and political science, as
well as business scholarship. The 3rd edition utilizes ideas from
the first two to provide readers with a practical model for ethical
decision making and includes examples from I-O research and
practice, as well as current business events. The book incorporates
diverse perspectives into a "framework for taking moral action"
based on learning points from each chapter. Examples and references
have been updated throughout, and sections on moral psychology,
economic justice, the "replicability crisis," and open science have
been expanded and the "radical behavioral challenge" to ethical
decision-making is critiqued. In fifteen clearly structured and
theory-based chapters, the author also presents a variety of
ethical incidents reported by practicing I-O psychologists. This is
the ideal resource for Ethics and I-O courses at the graduate and
doctoral level. Academics in Organizational Behavior and Human
Resource Management will also benefit from this book, as well as
anyone interested in Ethics in Psychology and Business.

Drucilla Cornell interweaves the ethical and the political in this unique and profound narrative, focusing on women and dignity.Before Drucilla Cornell’s mother died, she asked her daughter to write a book, “that would bear witness to the dignity of her death [and that] her bridge class would be able to understand.” Shortly thereafter, Cornell’s mother, who had a degenerative disease, decided to claim her right to die. Forceful, honest, and unsentimental, this is the book that Cornell promised to write.Cornell uses the personal as a springboard to discuss contemporary issues concerning women today. She engages with the difficult nature of intergenerational relationships between women by writing about her relationship to her own mother. The fundamental argument of Between Women and Generations is that all women should have the conditions under which they can claim dignity in their own lives. It is necessary to create such conditions, Cornell argues, because even when women are physically harmed and morally wronged, they do not lose their dignity. Cornell tells the story of her adoption of Sarita Graciela Kellow Cornell, her Paraguayan daughter, and of her relationship with UNITY, a cooperative of house cleaners in Long Island, New York. She creates a powerful picture of the legacies of dignity between women and generations.
Over recent years, many companies have developed an awareness of
the importance of an active, rather than passive, approach to
wellbeing at work. Whilst the value of this approach is widely
accepted, turning theory into effective practice is still a
challenge for many companies. The Routledge Companion to Wellbeing
at Work is a comprehensive reference volume addressing every aspect
of the topic. Split into five parts, it explores different models
of wellbeing; personal qualities contributing to wellbeing; job
insecurity and organizational wellbeing; workplace supports for
wellbeing; and initiatives to enhance wellbeing. The international
team of contributors provide a solid foundation to research and
practice, including contemporary topics such as architecture,
coaching, and fitness in the workplace. Edited by two of the
world's leading scholars on the subject, this text is a valuable
tool for researchers, students, and practitioners in HRM and
organizational psychology.
