This book is intended to accomplish several goals. First, it is
designed to provide a broad overview of the major areas of
application of theory and research relating to nonverbal behavior.
Second, individual chapters emphasize how the applications have
been drawn from underlying theories and empirical bases, thereby
making the link between theory, research, and applications
apparent. Finally, the volume links individual chapter
contributions, demonstrating how theoretical progress over the last
few decades has led to important applied advances.
The contributors to this book consider a wide variety of settings
and topics. Their common thread, however, is a shared conviction
that an understanding of nonverbal behavior can bring about an
improvement in the human condition. Each of the authors has made
suggestions regarding future directions for both research and
practice -- and their ideas offer real promise.
This volume presents, in an integrated framework, the newest, most contemporary perspectives on the role of nonverbal behavior in social interaction. The book includes empirically-grounded work and theories that are central to our understanding of the reciprocal influences between nonverbal behavior and social variables. In doing so, it contributes to the ongoing controversy now shaping the field regarding the degree to which nonverbal behavior represents social, as opposed to biological, forces. Contributors to this volume also highlight a number of recent subareas in the domain of nonverbal behavior that hold much promise, including the role of nonverbal behavior in group membership and media influences on nonverbal behavior. This book will prove useful to professionals in communication, psychotherapy, and counseling.
The main goal of this volume is to present, in an integrated
framework, the newest, most contemporary perspectives on emotion
regulation. The book includes empirically-grounded work and
theories that are central to our understanding of the processes
that constitute emotion regulation and their consequences. This
volume has several secondary aims, as well. One is to highlight
several newer subareas in the domain of emotion regulation that
hold much promise, such as the relationship between psychopathology
and emotion regulation. The book also presents data and theory that
have applied value that may be useful for people working in such
fields as communication, psychotherapy, and counseling. Finally,
the volume gathers contributions across a variety of subfields and
includes authors working not just in North America but in other
areas of the world. To help achieve these goals, the volume has
been organized to begin with the presentation of the most molecular
aspects of emotion regulation and to end with the most molar ones.
It comprises four parts, each integrating different lines of
research from related domains. Part I is devoted to basic processes
in emotion regulation, such as neurological, physiological or
cognitive processes; part II examines the interplays between
emotion regulation and individual regulation; part III presents
work on individual differences and developmental processes in
emotion regulation; and part IV examines the social functions and
constraints of emotion regulation.
The goal of this edited volume is to provide a much needed bridge
between the research on nonverbal communication and the application
of those findings. The book features contributions from some of the
leading researchers in the field. These distinguished scholars
apply their understanding of nonverbal communication processes to a
variety of settings including hospitals and clinics, courtrooms and
police stations, the workplace and government, the classroom, and
everyday life. It explores nonverbal communication in public
settings, in intimate relationships, and across cultures and
general lessons such as the importance of context, individual
differences, and how expectations affect interpretation.
"Applications of Nonverbal Communication" appeals to a diverse
group of practitioners, researchers, and students from a variety of
disciplines including psychology, health care, law enforcement,
political science, sociology, communication, business and
management. It may also serve as a supplement in upper level
courses on nonverbal communication.

The first year of college represents an enormous milestone in
students' lives. Whether attending a four-year or two-year
institution of higher education, living on campus or at home, or
enrolled in a highly selective school or a college with an
open-admissions policy, students are challenged in unique and
demanding ways during their first year. Although many students rise
to the challenges they face, for some the demands are too great.
Retention rates beyond the first year are disappointing: one third
of first-year students seriously consider leaving college during
their first term, and ultimately one half of all students who start
college complete it. What are the factors that impact students
during their first year? How can the academic and social
experiences of first-year students be optimized? What can we do to
improve retention rates to maximize the number of students who
complete college? Improving the First Year of College employs a
variety of perspectives from leading researchers and
student-service providers to address these questions and examine
the first year of college. This volume also highlights the
development of learning communities and coaching, as well as how
technology impacts students' first year. Perhaps most important,
the book provides examples of "best practices," as determined
through research by leaders in the field, to permit educators to
draw on their experiences.
This book examines the ways in which the theory and data of social psychology can be applied to teaching, learning, and other experiences in schools. Its focus ranges in level from the individual (e.g., student attitudes and attributions), to the teacher-student interaction, to the impact of society (e.g., racial and cultural influences on school performance). The editor and distinguished contributors have two major purposes. The first is to illustrate the scope and sophistication of the emerging field known as the social psychology of education. The second is to provide solid, informed suggestions to educators for the amelioration of current educational problems. To that end, each author explicitly discusses implications for educational practice.
This book is premised on a very powerful social/educational concern
about college retention rates: one-third of first-year students
seriously consider leaving college during their first term, and
only half of all students who start college ultimately graduate.
This book examines the first year of college from a variety of
perspectives to paint a comprehensive picture of the intersecting
challenges facing today's students and higher education
institutions. Technological advances, increases in college
attendance costs, and increasing political pressure on colleges to
prove their value have changed the landscape of the first year of
college, but researchers have identified new approaches to improve
student and institutional success that have shown considerable
success and promise. In this comprehensive volume, top educational
researchers explore topics of student success, persistence, and
retention in the first year of college.

During the past 25 years, the study of nonverbal behavior has become a signifcant subarea of psychology. Employing a variety of approaches and encompassing numerous perspectives, researchers have made important theoretical and empirical strides in discovering the origins, functions, and consequences of nonverbal behavior. This research has clearly shown that nonverbal behavior plays a far greater role than merely reflecting emotional experience -- it also plays a central role in psychological adaptation. This volume presents, in an integrated framework, contemporary perspectives on the role of nonverbal behavior in psychological regulation, adaptation, and psychopathology, and includes both empirical and theoretical research that is central to our understanding of the reciprocal influences between nonverbal behavior, psychopathology, and therapeutic processes. It has several objectives: One is to present fundamental theories and data relevant to researchers and clinicians working in such fields as psychopathology and psychotherapy. Another objective is to link contributions of basic research to clinical applications. Finally, the volume gathers contributions in different sub-fields that are rarely presented jointly, such as brain damage and non-verbal skills.
