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...

In The Perfectionist's Handbook, clinical psychologist Jeff Szymanski helps readers navigate their way out of the "perfectionism paradox": if your intentions are good (wanting to excel) and the outcomes you want are reasonable (to feel competent and satisfied), why would perfectionism backfire and result in unhappiness and stress?

Foundations of Personality
ISBN: 9780792322313 / Angielski / Twarda / 281 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Differences between people are a fascinating and long-standing area of psychological inquiry. However, previous research has largely been confined to studies at the descriptive level. This book tries to explain individual difference, rather than merely describe them. Explanations are derived from two major competing frameworks: the biological and social approaches to individuality. The book is based on the contributions of specialists from Europe and North America invited to represent the biological and social points of view. Thus, a direct confrontation is obtained of two approaches that,...

Brain, Mind and Behaviour: A New Perspective on Human Nature
ISBN: 9781460980705 / Angielski / Miękka / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Psychology is the science that should enable us to understand ourselves and others. However, since it is little more than a century since this new science was born the available theories are still quite rudimentary and do not have much explanatory or predictive power.

With this new knowledge it has been possible to clarify and extend the pioneering theories of Galen, Pavlov, Eysenck, Hebb...

Pathways to Individuality : Evolution and Development of Personality Traits
ISBN: 9781433810312 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In Pathways to Individuality, veteran researcher and scholar Arnold Buss examines the personality traits we share with other animals -- and those that set us apart from other animals, the social traits that make us distinctly human. Within those general social traits, there's much variability, as Buss explains in this new book, usually differentiated during the crucial periods of human development -- and that's what makes us individuals. Humans make up the only species that has an extended period of childhood -- we play and explore more than other animals -- during which our human traits...

ISBN: 9781612097183 / Angielski / Twarda / 567 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What are the major descriptive categories of behaviour which we may readily observe in a ubiquitous manner? In this respect, the answer is rather obvious: efforts are put into either defending what exists to ensure its continuity or opting for change. Both approaches are valid and well known through observations of human behaviour and history. However, there is a lot of confusion owing to the continuous pressure for change abutting the resistance of the 'traditional'. Our contributors provided arguments for each approach where they clearly served a valid purpose. This book extensively covers...
