Two main themes run through the volume. The first is a consensus among the authors that fundamental moral standards must be passed along to the young and that educators at all levels bear the obligation to transmit these core standards to their studehts. The second is a shared determination to discard old oppositions that have paralyzed some of the best efforts in character education over the past several decades. The essays are titled as follows: "Transmitting Moral Wisdom in an Age of the Autonomous Self" (Arthur J. Schwartz); "How Moral Education Is Finding It8 Way Back into American's Schools" (Christina Hoff Sommers); "The Science of Character Education" (Marvin W.

  • We Have Many Common Names for Willpower: Determination, Drive, Resolve, Self-Discipline, Self-Control. but Psychologists Charact
    We have many common names for willpower: determination, drive, resolve, self-discipline, self-control. But psychologists characterize willpower, or self-control, in more specific ways. According to most psychological scientists, willpower can be defined as: the ability to delay gratification, resisting short-term temptations in order to meet long-term goals the capacity to override an unwanted thought, feeling or impulse the ability to employ a “cool” cognitive system of behavior rather than a “hot” emotional system conscious, effortful regulation of the self by the self a limited resource capable of being depleted Many people believe they could improve their lives if only they had more of that mysterious thing called willpower. With more self-control we would all eat right, exercise regularly, avoid drugs and alcohol, save for retirement, stop procrastinating, and achieve all sorts of noble goals. Recent research suggests some ways in which willpower can in fact be strengthened with practice. Lack of willpower isn’t the only reason you might fail to reach your goals. Willpower researcher Roy Baumeister, PhD, a psychologist at Florida State University, describes three necessary components for achieving objectives: First, he says, you need to establish the motivation for change and set a clear goal. Second, you need to monitor your behavior toward that goal. The third component is willpower. Whether your goal is to lose weight, kick a smoking habit, study more, or spend less time on Facebook, willpower is a critical step to achieving that outcome.

  • Self-Esteem I Ett Nytt Ljus: En Redogörelse För, Och Validering Av, Sociometerteorin
    Self-esteem i ett nytt ljus: en redogörelse för, och validering av, sociometerteorin C-uppsats i Psykologi Jens Brogren och Karl-Anton Östensson vt 2004 Handledare: Måns Holgersson HÖGSKOLAN KRISTIANSTAD Institutionen för Beteendevetenskap 1 SELF-ESTEEM I ETT NYTT LJUS: EN REDOGÖRELSE FÖR, OCH VALIDERING AV, SOCIOMETERTEORIN Jens Brogren och Karl-Anton Östensson Denna studie syftade för det första till att ge en grundlig och bred presentation av self-esteem-begreppet utifrån sociometerteorin, samt för det andra att korsvalidera Leary m.fl. (1995, studie 1 och 5). Vi ville förmedla hur sociometerteorins nya betraktelsesätt har satt self- esteem begreppet i ett nytt ljus, samt har kunnat förklara self-esteem på ett bredare och mer funktionellt sätt. Vi ville också visa vilka kopplingar det finns mellan self-esteem, social oro, uppfattad social exkluderingsstatus och människors förväntningar om huruvida deras beteende kommer att leda till social inkludering. Utifrån sociometerteorin betraktas self-esteem som en sociometer som övervakar en persons relationsvärde och hjälper människor att reglera sina interpersonella relationer. I studien ingick 81 kvinnliga och 51 manliga högskolestudenter från en högskola i södra Sverige. Resultaten visade på att det förekom: a) en signifikant positiv korrelation (r=0,35) mellan state self-esteem och beteenden som förväntas leda till social inkludering, b) en signifikant negativ korrelation (r=-0,73) mellan trait self-esteem och uppfattad exkluderingsstatus, c) en signifikant negativ korrelation (r=-0,56) mellan social oro (IAS) och trait self-esteem, d) en signifikant positiv korrelation (r=0,60) mellan social oro (IAS) och uppfattad exkluderingsstatus. Nyckelord: sociometerteorin, relationsvärde, state self-esteem, trait self-esteem, social oro.

  • Report of the National Psychology Project Team
    Report of the Psychology Project Team: Establishment of a National Psychology Placement Office Report of the National Psychology Project Team: Establishment of a National Psychology Placement Office and Workforce Planning 15 January 2021 1 Report of the Psychology Project Team: Establishment of a National Psychology Placement Office Foreword Following a review of Eligibility Criteria for staff and senior grade psychologists in 2016, an Implementation Group was established to implement the revised standards. The Implementation Group recommended the establishment of a National Psychology Placement Office. Inter alia an action from the Department of Health, to prepare a workforce plan for psychological services in the HSE, including an examination of the framework for training psychologists for the health service and the type and skill-mix required for the future, was required, HSE Community Operations convened a Project Team to progress the recommendation of the Implementation Group and to make a contribution to a workforce plan for psychological services provided for, and funded by, the HSE. The Project Team that developed this Report included representation from Clinical, Counselling and Educational Psychology; Social Care, Disability, and Mental Health services; Community and Acute services, Operational and Strategic HR, and the Health and Social Care Professions office. The work of the Project Team was also informed by a stakeholder consultation process. Cross-sectoral and stakeholder involvement reflects the intent to ensure all relevant stakeholders continue to feed into the management of student placements and workforce planning into the future. It is anticipated that the governance and oversight structures to be established under the placement office will embody stakeholder collaboration and engagement.

  • Thinking: the New Science of Decision-Making, Problem-Solving, and Prediction PDF Book First of All, I Really Enjoyed the Content of This Book
    THINKING: THE NEW SCIENCE OF DECISION-MAKING, PROBLEM-SOLVING, AND PREDICTION PDF, EPUB, EBOOK John Brockman | 432 pages | 11 Aug 2016 | HarperCollins Publishers Inc | 9780062258540 | English | New York, United States Thinking: The New Science of Decision-Making, Problem-Solving, and Prediction PDF Book First of all, I really enjoyed the content of this book. Brockman compiled an excellent introductory reading for those wishing to understand contemporary theories and trends regarding thinking itself. Moral psychology looks at the deeper question of why we even think morally in the first place. It is unlikely you will read it and not learn something that will help you practically with the subtitle topics, it picks on the weak points many of us humans have so although you may start from a somewhat better position than I, it's unlikely you have all of these sussed out already. The social Psychological Narrative - or - What is social psychology, anyway? I would have appreciated it more if it had been formatted for the media type it was. Jun 26, Emily Petroff rated it liked it. I was so impressed by what I learned, and I still have 18 stickies marking the pages. It is highly instructive, especially in understanding the intellectual challenges we face when making decisions. Mar 31, James rated it really liked it. Daniel C. Contributors include: Daniel Kahneman on the power and pitfalls of human intuition and "unconscious" thinking Daniel Gilbert on desire, prediction, and why getting what we want doesn't always make us happy Nassim Nicholas Taleb on the limitations of statistics in guiding decision-making Vilayanur Ramachandran on the scientific underpinnings of human nature Simon Baron-Cohen on the startling effects of testosterone on the brain Daniel C.

  • Nationalism, Ethnic Conflict, and Class Struggle: a Critical Analysis of Mainstream and Marxist Theories of Nationalism and National Movements
    NATIONALISM, ETHNIC CONFLICT, AND CLASS STRUGGLE: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF MAINSTREAM AND MARXIST THEORIES OF NATIONALISM AND NATIONAL MOVEMENTS Berch Berberoglu Department of Sociology University of Nevada, Reno Introduction The resurgence of nationalism and ethnonationalist con ict in the aftermath of the collapse of the Soviet Union and its associated Eastern European states in their transition from a form of socialism to a market- oriented direction led by bourgeois forces allied with world capitalism during the decade of the 1990s, has prompted a new round of discus- sion and debate on the origins and development of nationalism and the nation-state that has implications for contemporary nationalism and nationalist movements in the world today. This discussion and debate has been framed within the context of classical and contemporary social theory addressing the nature and role of the state and nation, as well as class and ethnicity, in an attempt to understand the relationship between these phenomena as part of an analysis of the development and transformation of society and social relations in the late twentieth century. This paper provides a critical analysis of classical and contemporary mainstream and Marxist theories of the nation, nationalism, and eth- nic con ict. After an examination of select classical bourgeois statements on the nature of the nation and nationalism, I provide a critique of contemporary bourgeois and neo-Marxist formulations and adopt a class analysis approach informed by historical materialism to explain the class nature and dynamics of nationalism and ethnonational con ict. Critical Sociology 26,3 206 berch berberoglu Mainstream Theories of the Nation and Nationalism Conventional social theories on the nature and sources of national- ism and ethnic con ict cover a time span encompassing classical to con- temporary statements that provide a conservative perspective to the analysis of ethnonational phenomena that have taken center stage in the late twentieth century.

  • Extraversion
    Prepared for the Handbook of Individual Differences in Social Behavior Mark Leary & Richard Hoyle (Editors) Guilford Extraversion Joshua Wilt and William Revelle Northwestern University For at least 2500 years, some people have been described as more bold, assertive and talkative than others. For almost equally long, this set of behaviors has been thought to have a biological basis and be socially important. Although our taxometric techniques have changed and our theories of biology are more advanced, the question of the causal basis as well as the behavioral consequences of the trait dimension that has come to be called extraversion-introversion1 remains vitally important. In general, there are at least three basic characteristics of extraversion that make it important to study. First, extraversion has emerged as one of the fundamental dimensions of personality (Costa & McCrae, 1992a; Digman, 1990; H. J. Eysenck & Himmelweit, 1947; Goldberg, 1990; Norman, 1963). As such, extraversion has the potential to explain the covariation of a wide variety of behaviors, which is is one of the central concerns for the field of personality (Funder, 2001). Second, extraversion predicts effective functioning and well-being across a wide variety of domains (Ozer & Benet-Martinez, 2006) from cognitive performance (Matthews, 1992) and social endeavors (Eaton & Funder, 2003) to social economic status (Roberts, Kuncel, Shiner, Caspi, & Goldberg, 2007). Third, extraversion predicts risk and also resilience for different forms of psychopathology (Trull & Sher, 1994; Widiger, 2005). 1Although occasionally one will see extroversion-introversion, the preferred spelling in psychological re- search is extraversion-introversion. For purposes of brevity we refer to the bipolar dimension of introversion- extraversion by referring to just one end of it, extraversion.
