This book focuses on the structure and development of conscience, a
subject that has been dominant in developmental psychology since
the 18th century. International experts in the field contribute to
this broad overview of the relevant research on the development of
moral emotions and on the Kohlbergian-originated cognitive aspects
of moral development. The first section of the book focuses on the
cultural conditions that create the context for the development of
conscience, such as moral philosophy, religion, and media violence.
Building on the theory and research on emotion, other chapters
cover issues including the development of shame, self regulation
and moral conduct, social cognition, and models of guilt. The book
also covers moral reasoning, moral identity, moral atmosphere,
moral behavior, and discusses subjects such as lying, how to
measure moral development, the impact of parenting, the
dysfunctions of conscience evident in narcissism, psychopathy,
issues surrounding gender, and aggression. The Development and
Structure of Conscience will be ideal reading for researchers and
students of developmental and educational psychology.
What Happens To Our Minds During Pandemics, Natural Disasters,
Terrorist Attacks, and Other Extreme Calamities? Whether natural or
man-made, local or global, disasters impact our thinking and
behavior on both a personal and societal level. Even rather
ordinary crises in our personal lives like the loss of a job or the
end of a relationship trigger overwhelming feelings. At the
societal level, group anxieties coupled with the moral pressure to
conform can send us all down the path to ruin. Why does this happen
and, through understanding human psychology, how can we prevent
this in the future? In this highly original and engagingly written
book, Author Christopher J. Ferguson examines how pandemics,
natural disasters, terrorist attacks, and other events of mass
hysteria impact our psychology and prevent us from adequately
responding to, preventing, or learning from those calamities. From
the rush to hoard toilet paper during the COVID-19 pandemic
lockdowns, to the disconnect between procedure and practice
surrounding massive wildfires, to debates about the science behind
climate catastrophes, and shifts after traumatic events like 9/11
and the murder of George Floyd, The Psychology of Catastrophe uses
in-depth case studies to reveal how moments of societal upheaval
affect the psychology of citizens. Though we have often failed to
predict, respond to, and learn from catastrophes, we have
nonetheless made remarkable progress. Ferguson concludes by
offering strategies to help us make better choices during crises in
our own lives and providing solutions for how we as a society can
better navigate misfortune in the future.

This book addresses the ongoing scientific debates regarding video
games and their effects on players. The book features opposing
perspectives and offers point and counterpoint exchanges in which
researchers on both sides of a specific topic make their best case
for their findings and analysis. Chapters cover both positive and
negative effects of video games on players' behavior and cognition,
from contributing to violence and alienation to promoting
therapeutic outcomes for types of cognitive dysfunction. The
contrasting viewpoints model presents respectful scientific debate,
encourages open dialogue, and allows readers to come to informed
conclusions. Key questions addressed include: * Do violent video
games promote violence? * Does video game addiction exist? * Should
parents limit children's use of interactive media? * Do action
video games promote visual attention? * Does sexist content in
video games promote misogyny in real life? * Can video games slow
the progress of dementia? * Are video games socially isolating?
Video Game Influences on Aggression, Cognition, and Attention is a
must-have resource for researchers, clinicians and professionals as
well as graduate students in developmental psychology, social work,
educational policy and politics, criminology/criminal justice,
child and school psychology, sociology, media law, and other
related disciplines.

Japanese leaders and often the media too have substituted symbols
for strategy in dealing with Asia. This comprehensive review of
four periods over twenty years exposes the strategic gap in viewing
individually and collectively China, Taiwan, the Korean peninsula,
Russia, Central Asia, and regionalism.
A campus shooting. A gang assault. A school bus ambush. With each
successive event, fingers are pointed at the usual suspects:
violent films, bloody video games, explicit web sites. But to what
extent can-or should-the media be implicated in youth crime? And
are today's sophisticated young people really that susceptible to
their influence? Adolescents, Crime, and the Media critically
examines perceptions of these phenomena through the lens of the
ongoing relationship between generations of adults and youth. A
wealth of research findings transcends the standard nature/nurture
debate, analyzing media effects on young people's behavior, brain
development in adolescence, ways adults can be misled about youth's
participation in criminal acts, and how science can be manipulated
by prevailing attitudes toward youth. The author strikes a
necessary balance between the viewpoints of media providers and
those seeking to restrict media or young people's access to them.
And the book brings scientific and intellectual rigor to culturally
and politically charged issues as it covers: Violence in the media.
Media portrayals of crime and youth. Research on violent television
programs, video games, and other media as causes of crime. Effects
of pornography on behavior. Public policy, censorship, and First
Amendment issues. Adolescents, Crime, and the Media is an essential
resource for researchers, graduate students, professionals, and
clinicians across such interrelated disciplines as developmental
psychology, sociology, educational policy, criminology/criminal
justice, child and school psychology, and media law.
The use of the term "advanced" in the title of this book is
somewhat ar bitrary and very much relative with respect to time.
Many techniques which were considered at the "cutting edge" of
ultrastructural methodology just a few years ago are now rou tin
ely used in numerous laboratories. One could cite freeze-fracture,
cryothin sectioning, or indeed most of the field of scan ning
electron microscopy as concrete examples. Thus the use of the term
"ad vanced techniques" must be interpreted with regard to the
present state of the art, and is useful only in informing the
potential reader that this volume is not a primer to be used as an
initial introduction into basic biological elec tron microscopy.
Many excellent volumes have filled that niche in the past few
years, and it is not intended that this modest book be a complete
com pendium of the field. Furthermore, any limited selection of
papers on advanc ed techniques necessarily reflects the preferences
and arbitrary whims of the editor, thereby excluding many equally
important procedures which the knowledgeable reader will readily
identify. The first volume of this series appeared approximately
five years ago and illustrated techniques which were thought to
represent advanced and yet ba sically morphological methods for
gaining increased ultrastructural informa tion from biological
specimens. The present volume, on the other hand, stresses
techniques which provide specific physicochemical data on the speci
mens in addition to the structural information."
The book explains the Putin era's ambivalent approach to Asia and
finds lessons from earlier approaches worthy of further attention.
The overview compares how strategic thinking evolved, while
reflecting on factors that shaped it.
This volume examines four periods since the 1980s and covers views
of China, Japan, the Korean peninsula, Central Asia, South and
Southeast Asia, and regionalism. With an emphasis on Northeast Asia
the geographical chapters provide a look at how foreign policy
toward separate areas has been guided.

Breast Cancer: Society Shapes an Epidemic provides an innovative look at the social and political contexts of breast cancer and examines how this illness has become a social problem. This is not a book about breast cancer as a biological disease, its diagnosis and treatment, or the latest research to cure it. Rather, it looks at how economics, politics, gender, social class, and race-ethnicity have deeply influenced the science behind breast cancer research, spurred the growth of a breast cancer industry, generated media portrayals of women with the disease, and defined and influenced women’s experiences with breast cancer. The contributors address the social construction of breast cancer as an illness and as an area of scientific controversy, advocacy, and public policy. Chapters on the history of breast cancer, the health care system, the environment, and the marketing of breast cancer, among others, tease apart the complex social forces that have shaped our collective and individual responses to breast cancer.
Introduction to Linear Algebra in Geology introduces linear algebra
to students of geology and explores the possibilities of using the
techniques as an aid to solving geological problems which can be
solved numerically. A basic knowledge of geology is assumed.
Experimental details that will be of use to the increasing number
of researchers who find themselves faced with making rheological
measurements, possibly for the first time.
Becoming a successful entrepreneur takes energy and drive. Less
than 20% make it beyond the first three years. Achieving the next
level, the status of business titan -- the upper echelon of
leadership -- takes an unrelenting commitment to turn an idea into
a plan, a plan into a startup venture, and a venture into a
successful business. The chances of getting to the top are slim at
best, relying on a particular set of skills and attributes. In The
Wisdom of Titans, William Ferguson shares how 10 famous titans,
from Bill Marriott to Julia Stewart, made it to the top, for every
entrepreneur to learn from and follow. The book describes the
challenges of leading service organizations, in particular, where
managing and motivating thousands of people can make or break the
business. The book provides advice for those just starting out as
well as business leaders looking to take their enterprise to the
next level.
Written by two dynamic educational leaders, this book provides
elementary school teachers with strategies to unleash the learning
superpowers of students that foster inquiry-based, student-driven

Wondering Developing Designing Digital Inking Seeking Advising
Swanson provides easy to use frameworks and examples that are
aligned to the Common Core Standards for Reading, Writing,
Speaking, and Listening, the Next Generation Science Standards and
the National Curriculum Standards for Social Standards. The book is
filled with practical instructional frameworks about 2-3 weeks long
that teachers can use to promote student superpowers. The
superpowers and frameworks help students see connections between
ideas and disciplines and lead to student-driven success.
