A deliciously funny and sage guide to midlife - an unscientific, flaws-and-all account of one woman's adventures and misadventures through the dark comedy of the wilderness years.
Through her own experiences as a fifty-something woman, and those of her three sisters, her indomitable mum and rebellious auntie, Charlotte tackles the big questions every woman seeks answers to at this time of our lives - chiefly: How the hell am I going to get over being young in a world obsessed with youth?
Written with warmth, wisdom and irreverence this guide to midlife is perfect for readers of Nora Ephron, Caitlin Moran and India Knight.
Those working within the field of applied behavior analysis (ABA)
encounter potential ethical dilemmas on a daily basis. While some
challenges can be anticipated and appropriately addressed before
they become unmanageable, oftentimes behavior analysts are
confronted with unforeseen and novel situations that require
immediate, yet careful attention. It is impossible to anticipate
and plan for every eventuality. A Workbook of Ethical Case
Scenarios in Applied Behavior Analysis, Second Edition, presents
more than 120 real-world case scenarios commonly faced by
individuals practicing ABA. The examples range in difficulty and
severity to address the unique challenges and needs of those
teaching, practicing, or learning ABA through ethics-focused
coursework or preparing for the Behavior Analyst Certification
Board (R) (BACB (R)) certification exam. In addition to case
scenarios, the workbook provides detailed questions to facilitate
discussion and critical thinking, offers suggestions related to the
navigation of ethically precarious situations, and includes
recommendations of ethics codes to consider in relation to each
presented scenario.

environments, industries, and business sectors. This is an
excellent resource for researchers, consultants, librarians,

others. This book can be utilized as an advanced book for study or
as a guide.

Although it is difficult for us to fathom, pure monsters do not
exist. Terrorists and other serial killers massacre innocent
people, yet are perfectly capable of loving their own parents,
neighbors, and children. Hitler, sending millions to their death,
was contemptuous of meat eaters and a strong advocate of animal
welfare. How do we reconcile such moral ambiguities? Do they
capture something deep about how we build values? As a
developmental scientist, Philippe Rochat explores this possibility,
proposing that as members of a uniquely symbolic and self-conscious
species aware of its own mortality, we develop uncanny abilities
toward lying and self-deception. We are deeply categorical and
compartmentalized in our views of the world. We imagine essence
where there is none. We juggle double standards and manage
contradictory values, clustering our existence depending on context
and situations, whether we deal in relation to close kin,
colleagues, strangers, lovers, or enemies. We live within multiple,
interchangeable moral spheres. This social-contextual determination
of the moral domain is the source of moral ambiguities and blatant
contradictions we all need to own up to.
The Advances in Experimental Social Psychology series is the
premier outlet for reviews of mature, high-impact research programs
in social psychology. Contributions to the series provide defining
pieces of established research programs, reviewing and integrating
thematically related findings by individual scholars or research
groups. Topics discussed in Volume 64 include Moral Inference,
Coalitional Cognition, Motivated Perception and Self-Regulation,
Morality in Impression Development, and Self-Uncertainty and Group
Identification.
Measuring and Modeling Persons and Situations presents major
innovations and contributions on the topic, promoting deeper
integration, cross-pollination of ideas across diverse academic
disciplines, and the facilitation of the development of practical
applications such as matching people to jobs, understanding
decision making, and predicting how a group of individuals will
interact with one another. The book is organized around two
overarching and interrelated themes, with the first focusing on
assessing the person and the situation, covering methodological
advances and techniques for inferring and measuring
characteristics, and showing how they can be instantiated for
measurement and predictive purposes. The book's second theme
presents theoretical models, conceptualizing how factors of the
person and situation can help us understand the psychological
dynamics which underlie behavior, the psychological experience of
fit or congruence with one's environment, and changes in
personality traits over time.
A Feminist Mythology takes us on a poetic journey through the
canonical myths of femininity, testing them from the point of view
of our modern condition. A myth is not an object, but rather a
process, one that Chiara Bottici practises by exploring different
variants of the myth of "womanhood" through first- and third-person
prose and poetry. We follow a series of myths that morph into each
other, disclosing ways of being woman that question inherited
patriarchal orders. In this metamorphic world, story-telling is not
just a mix of narrative, philosophical dialogues and metaphysical
theorizing: it is a current that traverses all of them by
overflowing the boundaries it encounters. In doing so, A Feminist
Mythology proposes an alternative writing style that recovers
ancient philosophical and literary traditions from the pre-Socratic
philosophers and Ovid's Metamorphoses to the philosophical novellas
and feminist experimental writings of the last century.
