Children's animated movie featuring the characters of the
successful interactive online game. When the Great Moshling Egg is
stolen by the dastardly supervillain Dr. Strangeglove (voice of
Ashley Slater), it falls to Moshi Monsters Katsuma (Emma Tate) and
Poppet (Phillipa Alexander) to steal it back before he can use it
to take over Monstro City. But with Strangeglove and his sidekick
Fishlips (Boris Hiestand) proving to be a formidable force, Katsuma
and Poppet will have to recruit the other Moshi Monsters to defeat
them...
"Media Psychology" examines the impact that 21st century media use
has on human behavior, from teenage crushes on pop stars to soap
fandom in adulthood. It brings together North American
communication research with European media research in a variety of
disciplines--psychology, sociology, communication and media
studies--and in doing so, maps out the territory for media
psychology. David Giles argues that psychologists have been guilty
of ignoring the influence of the media over the last century,
seeing it at best as a minor nuisance that will eventually go away.
However, with the increasing prevalence of new electronic forms of
mass communication, the media seem to have a greater influence than
ever over our daily lives.
In this book, Dr. Giles tackles the traditional topics of media
psychology--sex, violence, advertising--along with sections on
developmental aspects of media influence and the psychology of the
audience. He also examines a number of specific media genres--news,
sports, soaps, and the increasingly popular audience participation
media, such as "reality" and "lifestyle" television. In addition,
he asks what light psychology can shed on the popularity of these
genres and the response of their audiences. Finally, there are
chapters on the increasing influence of the Internet and on the
representation of psychology and psychologists themselves in the
media.
How do you perform a MANOVA? What is grounded theory? How do you draw up a repertory grid? These, and many other questions are addressed in this wide-ranging handbook of methods and analytic techniques which uniquely covers both quantitative and qualitative methods. Based on a broad survey of undergraduate curricula, the book takes curious readers through all of the methods that are taught on psychology courses worldwide, from advanced ANOVA statistics through regression models to test construction, qualitative research and other more unusual techniques such as Q methodology, meta-analysis and log-linear analysis. Each technique is illustrated by recent examples from the literature. There are also chapters on ethics, significance testing, and writing for publication and research proposals. Advanced Research Methods in Psychology will provide an invaluable resource for advanced undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers who need a readable, contemporary and eclectic reference of advanced methods currently in use in psychological research.

This book investigates interaction-focused scholarship on online
communication. It focuses on a broad range of online contexts
including social media, dating apps, online comments, instant
messaging and video-mediated interaction. Bringing together experts
from a variety of scholarly backgrounds, chapters demonstrate how
different microanalytic methods, including conversation analysis,
membership categorization analysis and discursive psychology, can
be applied to online communication. The book also goes on to
address ethical, methodological and theoretical issues of analysing
online social interaction. With the explosion of the use of online
platforms for everyday and institutional interaction, this book is
a timely collection which explores the current state of the field,
and considers future directions for microanalysis of online
communication.
How many of our business leaders truly embody the change needed in
the world of work and beyond? Not nearly enough. This book shows
you how to reclaim your power to make a difference, by unleashing
your inner maverick. Organizations are where the world's most
innovative and impactful talents lie; we have the ingenuity, the
technology and the resources to change the world for the better.
Discover how to awaken the maverick mindset in you; one that will
question, debate and enhance. Mavericks are the key to answering
some of the world' most pressing challenges; they don't settle for
anything less, and neither should you. Mavericks shows you how
being a maverick isn't about shooting from the hip and rocking the
boat for the sake of it, it's about demanding better of yourself
and your organization for the wider good. In Mavericks, business
consultants, London Business School faculty members and authors
David Lewis and Jules Goddard guide you through the five
characteristics that you can develop to become a maverick leader.
From passionate belief, an undeterred attitude, being resourceful,
being directional and finally experimenting, these characteristics
are the blueprint for you to grow into an iconic and positive
change maker. The focus is not on what becoming a leader can do for
you, but on what you can do to make the world a better place.

Traditional management practices, rooted in economics and psychology, have led to a focus on numbers and productivity rather than the people who make those numbers happen. This has resulted in trust in leaders and organizations being at an all-time low. What Philosophy Can Teach You About Being a Better Leader expertly counters this thinking and argues that those leaders who will win in the uncertain and complex world of work, are the ones focusing on their workforce and valuing its members as people, rather than just tools within the process.
What Philosophy Can Teach You About Being a Better Leader considers the main questions plaguing today's leaders through the eyes of four of the greatest philosophers. With the help of Aristotle, Socrates, Kant and Nietzsche, as well as a whole host of other brilliant minds, they smash widely held workplace falsehoods and unveil a new model for empowerment, fulfilment and harmony at work.
What Philosophy Can Teach You About Being a Better Leader is a fascinating account of how we can reconnect company, people and shareholder interests. It answers perennial leadership concerns like questions of people engagement, key performance indicators or even generational differences at work through the lens of philosophy, with its focus squarely on how to live and help others live fulfilling lives at work.
For decades, we have looked to management theorists, organizational
psychologists and economists to tell us how we can squeeze the most
out of people at work. The result? People are uninspired, feel like
cogs in a machine and prefer to leave traditional work structures
behind. Numbers and productivity can only get you so far. What
Philosophy Can Teach You About Being a Better Leader offers a
different route that will allow you to reconnect with the humanist
values of work. By turning to philosophy, and what it teaches us
about finding fulfilment and living a good life, this book uncovers
the ways you can re-engage your workforce by valuing its members as
people, rather than just tools within the process. The four authors
argue that the rise of the 'omnipotent leader', who focuses on
telling rather than leading, risks creating a new generation of
feudal CEOs and needs to be resisted. With the help of Aristotle,
Socrates, Kant and Nietzsche, as well as a whole host of other
brilliant minds, they turn traditional management practices on
their head, showing how moving away from traditional, hierarchical,
risk focused control structures can lead to improved employee
engagement, increased productivity and better outcomes for the
entire business.

What happens when nice boys turn nasty? In Swaggering Swanks two
PhD students researching the topic of burglary find themselves out
of money, dumped by their girlfriends and freezing to death in
their rented home...should they put their academic knowledge into
practice? They have their supervisor to think of...but he's no
angel himself. And their relationships, past and present...what
will the girls make of it all? And what would happen if the real
burglars ever found out? David Giles's debut novel takes us on a
bumpy ride across the buttocks of an imaginary South London
cityscape - a world where, whatever you are doing to attract the
attention of the local constabulary, a few streets away someone is
doing something worse. Town and gown tense up and have a good hard
stare at one another. Who will be the first to back down?
From newspapers to social networking sites, the mass media play a
huge role in shaping the way we see ourselves and others. In this
engaging introduction, Giles explores our relationship with the
media, looking at the effects of advertising, celebrity worship and
media influence on violent behaviour. Whatever your level of study,
this introduction will help you to evaluate the full reach of the
media in our lives.
