Название: ORGANIZATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY A SCIENTIST. PRACTITIONER APPROACH

A comprehensive treatment of the science and practice of organizational psychologyFollowing a scientist-practitioner model, Organizational Psychology explores the practical implications of the current research in the field, expertly integrating multicultural and international issues.Beginning with a foundation of research methodology, author Steve Jex examines the behavior of individuals in organizational settings. Drawing on his experiences as a consultant and educator, he uses actual cases to illustrate workplace issues, offering balanced coverage of such key topics as occupational stress, motivation, and corporate culture. Also presented is unique information on research methods and the use of statistics in understanding organizations.With an emphasis on applying theory and research in practice, Jex explores the mechanisms that organizations use to influence employees’ behavior, addressing the major motivation theories in organizational psychology. Readers will discover how psychological models can be used to improve employee morale, productivity, and quality of service. The focus then shifts from the individual to the group level–an important distinction given the increased reliance on teams in many organizations. Jex identifies the factors that have the greatest impact on group effectiveness and examines the dynamics underlying intergroup behavior. Finally, he moves to the organization (''macro'') level, revealing a variety of ways in which organizations engage in planned change with the assistance of behavioral science knowledge.

Название: Tracking the White Rabbit: Essays in Subversive Psychology
Автор: Lyn Cowan
Издательство: Taylor and Francis
Год: 2002
Формат: pdf
Страниц: 152
Размер: 963 kB
Язык: English

Since its beginning, depth psychology has attempted to change the status quo of individual and cultural life by probing beneath surface appearances. Lyn Cowan explores a number of subjects, considering what possible meanings and implications for change might lie behind the conventional attitudes toward such subjects as:* Abortion* Gender and sexuality* Language* Memory* MelancholyThe author puts forward the argument that, although "psychology" and "subversion" are not usually thought of as belonging together, they should be. Such a view, presented clearly with humour and insight, offers a way to think differently about usual things, and yield fresh meaning to some of the pressing dilemmas of our time and how we as individuals may respond to them.

Название: Ubiquitous Quantum Structure: From Psychology to Finance
Автор: Andrei Y. Khrennikov (auth.)
Издательство: Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg
Год: 2010
Формат: pdf
Страниц: 216
Размер: 4 MB
Язык: English

Quantum-like structure is present practically everywhere. Quantum-like (QL) models, i.e. models based on the mathematical formalism of quantum mechanics and its generalizations can be successfully applied to cognitive science, psychology, genetics, economics, finances, and game theory.This book is not about quantum mechanics as a physical theory. The short review of quantum postulates is therefore mainly of historical value: quantum mechanics is just the first example of the successful application of non-Kolmogorov probabilities, the first step towards a contextual probabilistic description of natural, biological, psychological, social, economical or financial phenomena. A general contextual probabilistic model (V?xj? model) is presented. It can be used for describing probabilities in both quantum and classical (statistical) mechanics as well as in the above mentioned phenomena. This model can be represented in a quantum-like way, namely, in complex and more general Hilbert spaces. In this way quantum probability is totally demystified: Born's representation of quantum probabilities by complex probability amplitudes, wave functions, is simply a special representation of this type.

Название: Integral Psychology: Consciousness, Spirit, Psychology, Therapy
Автор: Ken Wilber
Издательство: Shambhala
Год: 2000
Формат: djvu
Страниц: 311
Размер: 3 MB
Язык: English

The goal of an "integral psychology" is to honor and embrace every legitimate aspect of human consciousness under one roof. This book presents one of the first truly integrative models of consciousness, psychology, and therapy. Drawing on hundreds of sources--Eastern and Western, ancient and modern--Wilber creates a psychological model that includes waves of development, streams of development, states of consciousness, and the self, and follows the course of each from subconscious to self-conscious to superconscious. Included in the book are charts correlating over a hundred psychological and spiritual schools from around the world, including Kabbalah, Vedanta, Plotinus, Teresa of ?vila, Aurobindo, Theosophy, and modern theorists such as Jean Piaget, Erik Erikson, Jane Loevinger, Lawrence Kohlberg, Carol Gilligan, Erich Neumann, and Jean Gebser. Integral Psychology is Wilber's most ambitious psychological system to date, and it is already being called a landmark study in human development.

Название: The Psychology of Media and Politics
Автор: George Comstock, Erica Scharrer
Издательство: Academic Press
Год: 2005
Формат: pdf
Страниц: 329
Размер: 1 MB
Язык: English

* Discusses such issues as political advertising, polls, debates, and journalists' pursuit of scandal * Describes why only some Americans turn out to vote in prominent elections.Research indicates that people discount their own opinions and experiences in favor of those of "experts" as espoused in the media. The framing of news coverage thus has a profound impact on public opinion, and political decision making as a response to public outcry. However, the choice of how to frame the news is typically made to solicit viewership and high ratings rather than to convey accurate and meaningful information. This book discusses why people discount their own opinions, how the media shapes the news, when this drives political decision making, and what the effect is on the future of society. Issues addressed include: * How powerful are the media in shaping political beliefs/judgment? * How has this power changed in recent years? * How does media influence voting behavior? * To what extent do media opinions affect political decision making? * Demonstrates the ways in which the media both constrain and facilitate democratic participation * Provides insight into why individuals have varying levels of attention to and interest in politics

Название: The Cambridge Handbook of Thinking and Reasoning (Cambridge Handbooks in Psychology)
Автор: Keith J. Holyoak, Robert G. Morrison
Издательство: Cambridge University Press
Год: 2005
Формат: pdf
Страниц: 875
Размер: 9 MB
Язык: English

This book is comprehensive. For anyone interested in psychology, thinking, analogical, spatial and other types of reasoning, this book is excellent. It categorizes and summarizes the basic concepts on thinking. It goes into what the latest research is telling us. It has great diagrams of processes and concepts that I found useful and interesting.

If one is interested in becoming a better and smarter thinker, I would highly recommend this book. It is not for the feignt of heart. It is in fact probably geared specifically for cognitive, psychological or other scholarly audiences (i.e., it is a technical book for the specialist in the field). I recommend it however for the generalist - like me - who is interested in becoming a better thinker, a better reasoner, and a better decision maker.

Название: The Scope of Social Psychology: Theory and Applications (A Festschrift for Wolfgang Stroebe) (Psychology Press Festschrift Series)
Автор: Miles Hewstone, Henk Schut, John de Wit, Kees Van Den Bos, Margaret Stroebe
Издательство: Psychology Press
Год: 2007
Формат: pdf

Размер: 2 MB
Язык: English

Social psychology attempts to understand, explain, predict and, when needed, change people's thoughts, feelings and behaviours. For a relatively young discipline it has already made great strides toward this awe-inspiring goal. Pioneers such as Lewin, Asch, Kelley and Festinger began groundwork in the 1940s and 1950s, but it was only in the late 1960s that social psychology came of age. Since then it has blossomed, both in investigating the basics of the discipline and in applying the insights from fundamental social psychology to different fields related to the area. This volume is devoted to the development of understanding in the field of social psychology over the last four decades, focusing on both basic and applied social psychology. Contributions are gathered under five main areas: attitudes and attitude change; social cognition and emotions; interpersonal and group processes; health behavior; and bereavement and coping. These five domains not only illustrate the scope of social psychology, but also pay tribute to one of the key figures in modern social psychology, Wolfgang Stroebe. Remarkably, he has made significant contributions across all five of these areas, and his research achievements exemplify the progress, prospects and problems faced by modern social psychology over the last 40 years. This volume includes contributions from some of the most distinguished names in the field, and all authors provide an overview or critical look at their specific area of expertise, tracing historical developments where appropriate. The Scope of Social Psychology provides a broad-ranging, illustrative review of the field of modern social psychology.
