"Experience everything life has to offer") through in-depth
descriptions, writing prompts, guided journal entries, beautiful
illustrations, and more. Pronounced ENN-EE-UH-GRAM, stemming from
the Greek words ennea (nine) and grammos (a written symbol), the

human personalities into nine interconnected personality types. It
is a powerful tool for self-observation, maximizing your strengths,
and improving your relationships. In this shorter, giftier, and

hugely popular Instagram account @justmyenneatype, help you

you-can affect your daily life, your decisions, and your
relationships with others, and how to use this wisdom to live life
with more clarity, peace, and insight than you ever thought
possible. If you are type SEVEN, find out more about yourself and
others today and get started on the journey to better understand

conventional parametric methods. Increasing data availability and
recent advancements in machine learning provide new methods to
tackle the challenging transportation problems. Readers will learn
how to develop and apply different types of machine learning models
to transportation related problems. Example applications include
transportation data generations, traffic sensing, transportation
mode recognition, transportation system management and control,
traffic flow prediction, and traffic safety analysis.
Creativity and Morality summarizes and integrates research on
creativity used to achieve bad or immoral ends. The book includes
the use of deception, novel ideas to commit wrongdoings across
contexts, including in organizations, the classroom and terrorism.
Morality is discussed from an individual perspective and relative
to broader sociocultural norms that allow people to believe actions
are justified. Chapters explore this research from an
interdisciplinary perspective, including from psychology,
philosophy, media studies, aesthetics and ethics.
"There are few academics who write with as much grace and wisdom as
Timothy Wilson. REDIRECT is a masterpiece." -Malcolm Gladwell
What if there were a magic pill that could make you happier, turn
you into a better parent, solve a number of your teenager's
behavior problems, reduce racial prejudice, and close the
achievement gap in education? There is no such pill, but story
editing - the scientifically based approach described in REDIRECT -
can accomplish all of this.
The world-renowned psychologist Timothy Wilson shows us how to
redirect the stories we tell about ourselves and the world around
us, with subtle prompts, in ways that lead to lasting change.
Fascinating, groundbreaking, and practical, REDIRECT demonstrates
the remarkable power small changes can have on the ways we see
ourselves and our environment, and how we can use this in our
everyday lives.
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.
Aging and Creativity examines the effects of aging on creative
functioning, including age-related changes in cognition,
personality, and motivation that affect performance or output. The
book reviews and summarizes both lab-based and real-world-based
studies. Changes in working memory, speed of processing, learning
efficiency, and retrieval from long-term memory are all discussed
as factors influencing creativity, as are health changes and
changes in social roles with later age. The book concludes with
practical implications of age effects on creativity for older
people in work and everyday life.
Human sexuality touches us all, pun intended. We all either enjoy
it, struggle with it, or may have been victims of it. Sexuality is
not just about sex, but about human sexual function, the physiology
of sex, the hormones involved and how they affect us, and the
cultural norms related to it. Sexual function and dysfunction are
closely tied to one's self-esteem, self-respect, and to
relationships with intimate partners. Human Sexuality: Function,
Dysfunction, Paraphilias, and Relationships, explores the interplay
of intimacy and sexuality; how it can enhance relationships, and
how it can negatively affect them, or be affected by them. When
individuals or partners encounter sexual problems or dysfunctions
it can have a long-lasting affect both biologically and
psychologically. Dr. Rokach explores the causes and the reasons
that these dysfunctions are maintained, and successful treatment
methods. Chapters on sexual offenses and paraphilias and what
treatment options are available to sexual offenders are also
included. This book is the first book to place sexuality where it
belongs, within the context of relationships demonstrating how
sexuality relates to intimacy by both enhancing and negatively
affecting it.
