Inequities still exist in today's society, and this book advances
awareness, an equitable mindset, and transformative change toward
the goal of eliminating inequities and promoting inclusiveness and
social justice. Racialized inequity is injustice or unfairness and
exists when prejudice or discrimination based on any aspect of
difference precludes access of certain groups to the resources and
benefits of society. This volume takes a new look at the psychology
of inequity today. Have we progressed or regressed since the height
of the civil rights movement of the 1960s? Through an examination
of the motivations and beliefs behind inequities and injustices,
this text aims to answer this question and any others that a
scholar or general reader interested in social inequities and
multiculturalism may have. Chapters address the motives that
sustain inequity and reflect on the beliefs and behaviors linked to
implicit responses to threats of change and loss of privilege posed
by the inclusion of "others." Includes cutting-edge scholarship
addressing racial inequities Provides contemporary examples of
racial inequity viewed through new psychological lenses Reviews the
intersection of racial, economic, and mental health inequity among
BIPOC citizens Addresses contemporary expressions of privilege and
their relationships to social inequities Introduces
transformational approaches to improving education and health care
This book presents cutting edge conceptualizations of the
psychological challenges of inequity and engages the audience in
examining the global nature of inequity and how it psychologically
impacts human beings across both space and time. The Psychology of
Inequity: Global Issues and Perspectives examines the psychological
consequences of inequity beyond the borders of the United States
and other western nations. Inequity does not end at national
borders; it is a global problem that reflects the interdependent
nature of our planetary existence. This book advances our
understanding of psychological inequity as a global problem
requiring global solutions. The volume approaches its topic from
many angles, moving from a discussion of the psychological concerns
of specific groups-from targets of racism and sexism to the plights
of migrants, refugees, and immigrants-to large scale global
inequities and their psychological consequences, such as
educational inequities and climate change. An excellent
introduction to decolonized psychology on an international scale,
this book will benefit anyone interested in learning more about
promoting global equity in psychologically healthy and culturally
appropriate ways. Examines how to address the mental health
concerns of a rapidly growing refugee, migrant, and immigrant
population globally Addresses global trends in inequity that have
broad psychological consequences internationally Discusses the
relationship of inequities to global climate change and widespread
environmental degradation and proposes sustainable solutions
Includes suggestions for progressive action, such as how
decolonizing education may contribute to reducing inequities
globally
Emotions, Technology, and Health examines how healthcare consumers
interact with health technology, how this technology mediates
interpersonal interactions, and the effectiveness of technology in
gathering health-related information in various situations. The
first section discusses the use of technology to monitor patients'
emotional responses to illness and its treatment, as well as the
role of technology in meeting the fundamental human need for
information. Section Two describes the use of technology in
mediating emotions within and between individuals, and addresses
the implications for the design and use of devices that gather
behavioral health data and contribute to healthcare interventions.
The final section assesses different situations in which technology
is a key component of the health intervention-such as tablet use in
educating elementary school students with social skills difficulty,
physical activity monitoring for children at risk for obesity, and
teleconferencing for older adults at risk of social isolation.
