Название: James Dobson's Gospel of Self-Esteem & Psychology
Автор: Martin Bobgan, Deidre Bobgan
Издательство: EastGate Publishers
Год: 1998
Формат: pdf
Страниц: 243
Размер: 553 kB
Язык: English

The Bobgans discuss James Dobson's commitment to psychology and show that many of his specific teachings originated from secular psychological theorists. Since one of Dobson's basic assumptions and extensive teaching has to do with self-esteem, the Bobgans present the scientific research regarding self-esteem and discuss the results of the California Task Force on Self-Esteem. However, more important for Christians, the Bobgans examine what the Bible says about esteeming and loving self. Other topics discussed are psychological needs, morals, acceptance, and forgiveness.

Издательство: Springer
Год: 2009
Формат: pdf
Страниц: 349
Размер: 6 MB

Many different disciplines are analyzing the impact of music today. How and why this ancient cultural asset molds, empowers and makes use of us can only become apparent in a synopsis and exchange involving scientific research. With this perspective as its foundation, the conference "Mozart and Science" extended invitations to the first interdisciplinary and international dialogue between the social and physical sciences about the effects of music. This book is based on the results of that congress. It contains contributions penned by leading scientists from around the world belonging to diverse music science disciplines and in particular covers psycho-physiological, neuro-developmental and cognitive aspects associated with the experience of music. Additional essays provide insights into research conducted about how music is applied in therapy and medicine.

Название: Climate, Affluence, and Culture (Culture and Psychology)
Автор: Evert Van de Vliert
Издательство: Cambridge University Press
Год: 2008
Формат: pdf
Страниц: 264
Размер: 2 MB
Язык: English

Everyone, everyday, everywhere has to cope with climatic cold or heat to satisfy survival needs, using money. This point of departure led to a decade of innovative research on the basis of the tenet that climate and affluence influence each other's impact on culture. Evert Van de Vliert discovered survival cultures in poor countries with demanding cold or hot climates, self-expression cultures in rich countries with demanding cold or hot climates, and easygoing cultures in poor and rich countries with temperate climates. These findings have implications for the cultural consequences of global warming and local poverty. Climate protection and poverty reduction are used in combination to sketch four scenarios for shaping cultures, from which the world community has to make a principal and principled choice soon.

Название: Consumerology: The Market Research Myth, the Truth About Consumers, and the Psychology of Shopping
Автор: Philip Graves
Издательство: Nicholas Brealey Publishing
Год: 2010
Формат: pdf
Страниц: 226
Размер: 1 MB
Язык: English

Market research is a myth. Philip Graves, one of the world's leading experts in consumer behaviour, reveals why the findings obtained from most market research are completely unreliable. Whether it is company executives seeking to define their corporate strategy or politicians wanting to understand the electorate, the idea that questions answered on a questionnaire or discussed in a focus group can provide useful insights on which to base business decisions is the cause of product failures, political blunders and wasted billions.Consumer.ology exposes some of the most expensive examples of research-driven thinking clouding judgement, experience and evidence – from New Coke to General Motors, from Mattel to the Millennium Dome – and instances of success through ignoring market research, such as Baileys and Dr Who. It also shows organisations the tools they should be using if they want to understand their customers.Using his unique AFECT approach, a set of five criteria to evaluate the reliability of any consumer insight, Graves asserts that it's time for a fresh approach that embraces this new understanding of human behaviour. Along the way, he reveals why the current practice of market research is a false science, why we often don't buy what we say we will, and how to understand consumers better than they do themselves. After reading Consumer.ology business leaders and politicians will never look at market research in the same way again.

Название: Damaged Life: The Crisis of the Modern Psyche (Critical Psychology)
Автор: Tod Sloan
Издательство: Routledge
Год: 1995
Формат: pdf
Страниц: 168
Размер: 2 MB
Язык: English

This text presents an analysis of modernity's impact on the psyche. Modernization has brought many material benefits, yet we are constantly told how unhappy we are: crime, divorce, suicide, depression and anxiety are rampant. How can this contradiction be reconciled? Tod Sloan develops an integrated theory of the self in society by combining perspectives on personality development and sociohistorical processes to explore our complex response to modernization. He discusses the implications of postmodern theory for psychology and proposes concrete responses to address the issue of mass emotional suffering. His book is aimed at those working within psychology and related disciplines such as sociology and social policy, as well as anyone seeking enlightenment about the predicament of the self in contemporary society.

Название: Psychology's Grand Theorists: How Personal Experiences Shaped Professional Ideas
Автор: Amy P. Demorest
Издательство: Psychology Press
Год: 2004
Формат: pdf
Страниц: 214
Размер: 3 MB
Язык: English

Psychology's Grand Theorists argues that the three schools in psychology that have been dominant historically--the psychodynamic, behavioral, and phenomenological--have resulted in large part from the personal experiences of their originators. Sigmund Freud, B.F. Skinner, and Carl Rogers each believed that he had discovered the truth about human nature, yet their truths are entirely different. This book explores how the lives of these men influenced the divergent theories they developed, through a close examination of letters, diaries, biographies, autobiographies, and professional writings. Uncovering the subjective sources of these theories, the book gives the reader a greater sense of intimacy with each man's ideas, and promotes critical inquiry into their scientific status. The book is written in an engaging style that will appeal to a wide range of readers. Intended as a supplement in courses on personality, clinical psychology, and/or the history of psychology, it will also be of interest to clinicians or counselors who use one or more of these theoretical models in their therapeutic work.
