Psychology of Prejudice and Discrimination provides a comprehensive
and compelling overview of what psychological theory and research
have to say about the nature, causes, and reduction of prejudice
and discrimination. It balances a detailed discussion of theories
and selected research with applied examples that ensure the
material is relevant to students. This edition has been thoroughly
revised and updated and addresses several interlocking themes. It
first looks at the nature of prejudice and discrimination, followed
by a discussion of research methods. Next come the psychological
underpinnings of prejudice: the nature of stereotypes, the
conditions under which stereotypes influence responses to other
people, contemporary theories of prejudice, and how individuals'
values and belief systems are related to prejudice. Explored next
are the development of prejudice in children and the social context
of prejudice. The theme of discrimination is developed via
discussions of the nature of discrimination, the experience of
discrimination, and specific forms of discrimination, including
gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, ability, and
appearance. The concluding theme is the reduction of prejudice. The
book is accompanied by a comprehensive website featuring an
Instructor Manual that contains activities and tools to help with
teaching a prejudice and discrimination course; PowerPoint slides
for every chapter; and a Test Bank with short answer and
multiple-choice exam questions for every chapter. This book is an
essential companion for all students of prejudice and
discrimination, including those in psychology, education, social
work, business, communication studies, ethnic studies, and other
disciplines. In addition to courses on prejudice and
discrimination, this book will also appeal to those studying racism
and diversity.
The goals of this book are to provide a comprehensive review of
identity policies as they are being implemented in various
countries around the world, to consider the key arenas where
identity policies are developed and to provide intellectual
coherence for making sense of these various activities.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of research methods in
the behavioral sciences, focusing primarily on the conceptual
issues inherent in conducting research. It covers topics that are
often omitted from other texts, including measurement issues,
correlational research, qualitative research, and integrative
literature reviews. The book also includes discussions of diversity
issues as they related to behavioral science research. New to this
edition are chapter boxes that focus on applied issues related to
each chapter topic. Throughout the book, readable examples and
informative tables and figures are provided. The authors also take
a contemporary approach to topics such as research ethics,
replication research, and data collection (including internet
research).
"The Ethics of Teaching" provides a frank discussion of the most
frequently encountered ethical dilemmas that can arise in
educational settings, as well as tips on how to avoid these
predicaments and how to deal with them when they do occur. The goal
is to stimulate discussion and raise faculties' consciousness about
ethical issues.
Ethical dilemmas are presented as short, engaging case scenarios,
most of which are based on actual situations, so as to furnish more
realistic and interesting stimuli for individual reflection and
group discussion. These scenarios offer the opportunity to consider
the subtle complexities inherent in the social and psychological
contexts in which educator-student interactions occur and the
effects of those complexities on ethical decision making. Each case
is followed by a detailed analysis and advice. The book's 195 cases
are grouped into 22 chapters representing topics, such as the
controversial classroom presentations and assignments, debatable
testing and grading practices, problematic student-faculty
interactions, dual-role relationships with students, collegial
conflicts, managing very difficult students, and confidentiality
dilemmas.
"The Ethics of Teaching: A Casebook, Second Edition: "
*focuses on commonly encountered ethical "gray areas" that have no
clear solution;
*includes questions to stimulate discussion of related ethical
issues;
*concludes with a chapter on prevention, peer mentoring, and
intervention; and
*serves as excellent "assigned reading" to stimulate group
discussion in teaching workshops and faculty development programs.
The first edition of this book evolved by collecting a variety of
teaching situations that commonly occur in college and university
settings. The authors then created responses to the situations and
circulated both the cases and the responses to reviewers from a
number of departments across the country. As a result, the vast
majority of the cases are "discipline free." The second edition
features many new cases to reflect recent trends and events related
to academic ethics. Questions were added to stimulate discussion
and to further elaborate the issues.
"The Ethics of Teaching: A Casebook" is ideal for college and
university faculty, graduate assistants, and administrators
involved in workshops, graduate teaching assistant courses, and
faculty development and new faculty orientation programs. As a
result of the book's cross-disciplinary development, it will be
beneficial to faculty from a broad spectrum of disciplines.
This book, written by two nationally renowned scholars in the area
of ethics in higher education, is intended to help teachers and
administrators understand and handle problems of academic
dishonesty. Chock-full of practical advice, the book is divided
into three parts. Part I reviews the existing published literature
about academic dishonesty among college and university students and
how faculty members respond to the problem. Part II presents
practical advice designed to help college and university
instructors and administrators deal proactively and effectively
with academic dishonesty. Part III considers the broader question
of academic integrity as a system-wide issue within institutions of
higher education.
Human sexuality researchers often find themselves faced with
questions that entail conceptual, methodological, or ethical issues
for which their professional training or prior experience may not
have prepared them. The goal of this handbook is to provide that
guidance to students and professionals interested in the empirical
study of human sexuality from behavioral and social scientific
perspectives. It provides practical and concrete advice about
conducting human sexuality research and addresses issues inherent
to both general social scientific and specific human sexuality
research.
This comprehensive resource offers a unique multidisciplinary
examination of the specific methodological issues inherent in
conducting human sexuality research. The methodological techniques
and advances that are familiar to researchers trained in one
discipline are often unfamiliar to researchers from other
disciplines. This book is intended to help enrich the communication
between the various disciplines involved in human sexuality
research. Each of the 21 self-standing chapters provides an expert
overview of a particular area of research methodology from a
variety of academic disciplines. It addresses those issues unique
to human sexuality research, such as:
* how to measure sexuality variables;
* how to design studies, recruit participants, and collect data;
* how to consider cultural and ethical issues; and
* how to perform and interpret statistical analyses.
This book is intended as a reference tool for researchers and
students interested in human sexuality from a variety of
disciplines, including psychology, sociology, family science,
health communication, nursing, medicine, and anthropology.
Drawing on an international survey of over 1,000 business and
executives, this book provides a management perspective on cloud
technology. It outlines the need to know information for strategic
decisions on cloud technology including its capabilities, how it
can be implemented securely and the way forward for the next ten
years.
The goals of this book are to provide a comprehensive review of
identity policies as they are being implemented in various
countries around the world, to consider the key arenas where
identity policies are developed and to provide intellectual
coherence for making sense of these various activities.

Psychology of Prejudice and Discrimination provides a comprehensive
and compelling overview of what psychological theory and research
have to say about the nature, causes, and reduction of prejudice
and discrimination. It balances a detailed discussion of theories
and selected research with applied examples that ensure the
material is relevant to students. Newly revised and updated, this
edition addresses several interlocking themes, such as research
methods, the development of prejudice in children, the relationship
between prejudice and discrimination, and discrimination in the
workplace, which are developed in greater detail than in other
textbooks. The first theme introduced is the nature of prejudice
and discrimination, which is followed by a discussion of research
methods. Next comes the psychological underpinnings of prejudice:
the nature of stereotypes, the conditions under which stereotypes
influence responses to other people, contemporary theories of
prejudice, and how values and belief systems are related to
prejudice. Explored next are the development of prejudice in
children and the social context of prejudice. The theme of
discrimination is developed via discussions of the nature of
discrimination, the experience of discrimination, and specific
forms of discrimination, including gender, sexual orientation, age,
ability, and appearance. The concluding theme is the reduction of
prejudice. An ideal core text for junior and senior college
students who have had a course in introductory psychology, it is
written in a style that is accessible to students in other fields
including education, social work, business, communication studies,
ethnic studies, and other disciplines. In addition to courses on
prejudice and discrimination, this book is also adapted for courses
that cover topics in racism and diversity. For instructor
resources, consult the companion website
(http://www.routledge.com/cw/Kite), which includes an Instructor
Manual that contains activities and tools to help with teaching a
prejudice and discrimination course; PowerPoint slides for every
chapter; and a Test Bank with exam questions for every chapter for
a total of over 1,700 questions.
Due to a personnel error, a young Army Staff Sergeant is assigned
to Vietnam as an Intelligence Annalist and immediately assigned to
a combat unit where he led a POW Contact Team responsible for
evaluating enemy prisoners. Knowing that if he determined the POWs
were of no intelligence value, they would be turned over to the
local South Vietnamese Commander, and would probably be executed.
During this assignment he was involved in an ambush which left two
of his team wounded. Then went on a covert assignment into Cambodia
to find a downed pilot. When the MACV(Military Assistance Command
Vietnam) Unit he was assigned to was reorganized the was mistakenly
assigned to the 1st Air Cavalry Division just a day prior to the
largest combat air lift in the Vietnam war. Within a six hour
period an entire combat brigade including artillery was airlifted
to within 4 miles of the besieged Marines at Khe Sanh. When MACV
Headquarters located their missing Sergeant, he received orders
reassigning from the 1st Air Cavalry back to MACV where he was
assigned to a Phoenix Program assassination team made up of former
Foreign Legionnaires that stayed in Vietnam after the French left.
Recommended for this assignment by his old nemesis Jack Roark.
Roark is allegedly a Cultural Attache with the Embassy, but is in
fact a C.I.A. case officer, and it is not the first time he has
involved himself with the young Sergeant's career.
