Tiny Terror: Why Truman Capote (Almost) Wrote Answered Prayers
ISBN: 9780199752041 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Truman Capote was one of the most gifted and flamboyant writers of his generation, renowned for such books as Other Voices, Other Rooms, Breakfast at Tiffany's, and his masterpiece, the nonfiction novel In Cold Blood . What has received comparatively little attention, however, is Capote's last, unfinished book, Answered Prayers, a merciless skewering of cafe society and the high-class women Capote called his "swans." When excerpts appeared he was immediately blacklisted, ruined socially, labeled a pariah. Capote recoiled--disgraced, depressed, and all but friendless. In Tiny Terror, a new...

Self-Regulation : Brain, Cognition, and Development
ISBN: 9781433809712 / Angielski / Twarda / 225 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. As humans, we self-regulate whenever we adapt our emotions and actions to situational requirements and to internalized social standards and norms. Self-regulation encompasses skills such as paying attention, inhibiting reflexive actions, and delaying gratification. We need self-regulation for navigating in the social world (e.g., when we inhibit revealing a secret, even though it is tempting to tell it), academic life (e.g., when we study for the test, even though we would prefer to watch our favorite TV show), and much more -- indeed, in every aspect of life. While both environmental and...

Konsistenz ALS Persönlichkeitseigenschaft?: Moderatorvariablen in Der Persönlichkeits- Und Einstellungsforschung
ISBN: 9783540530381 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 225 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In den 70er Jahren wurde die differentielle Psychologie von einer Krise uberschattet, der Konsistenzkontroverse. Zur Debatte stand, ob Menschen sich konsistent genug verhalten, um mittels allgemeiner Eigenschaftsbegriffe charakterisiert werden zu konnen. Der Moderatorvariablenansatz versprach eine Losung des Konsistenzproblems. Er geht davon aus, dass Menschen sich im Grad ihrer Verhaltenskonsistenz unterscheiden. Manche Personen lassen sich anhand von Traits besser, andere weniger gut beschreiben. In dem vorliegenden Buch wird erstmals eine umfassende Bilanz des Moderatorvariablenansatzes in...

ISBN: 9783540538219 / Angielski / Miękka / 327 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Quantification of Human Defence is to be welcomed both for its scientific merit, and as an example of international collaboration and cooperation between psychologists, psychiatrists and clinicians from many countries. The problems surrounding the analysis and assessment of psychological coping are complex, particularly with responses such as defence where many processes are not immediately accessible to conscious awareness. It is widely recognised that without reliable and quantifiable measures, little progress can be made towards understanding the role of psychological defence in human...

Self-Representation: The Second Attribution-Personality Theory Conference, Cspp-La, 1986
ISBN: 9780387968629 / Angielski / Miękka / 178 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume reports recent results of investigations into the role of attributional processes in self-presentation. The volume casts a wide net with work of interest to both clinicians and cognitive theorists. Self-presentation, self-enhancement, defensiveness, and self-handicapping are all important concepts for clinical treatment as well as for attribution theory. The excuses people make for their actions and the morality of blaming and responsibility also fit into this link between attribution and personality. This volume addresses such issues with an up-to-date presentation of current...

The Goal of B. F. Skinner and Behavior Analysis
ISBN: 9780387972367 / Angielski / Miękka / 223 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this new volume in Springer-Verlag's series "Recent Research in Psychology," Drs. Proctor and Weeks examine what has long been a "self-asserted superiority" of behavior analysts and Skinnerian researchers. Most behavior-analytic views derive from the philosophy of radical behaviorism, as conceived by B.F. Skinner, and prescribe a "world view" where environmental contingencies determine all aspects of behavior. This view necessarily assumes all other views to be inferior because of its world view, hence, those subscribing to behavior analysis will tolerate no other theory. The Goal of...

Trust: The Evolutionary Game of Mind and Society
ISBN: 9784431539353 / Angielski / Twarda / 177 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is written around the central message that collectivist societies produce security, but destroy trust. In collectivist societies, people are connected through networks of strong personal ties where the behavior of all agents is constantly monitored and controlled. As a result, individuals in collectivist networks are assured that others will abide by social norms, and gain a sense of security erroneously thought of as "trust." However, this book argues that this security is not truly trust, based on beliefs regarding the integrity of others, but assurance, based on the system of...
