Download or read book Social Cognition and Aging written by Thomas M. Hess and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1999-06-18 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of the research done in social cognition has been conducted with younger adults and may not be applicable to a much older population. Social Cognition and Aging provides a snapshot view of research that has been done with older adults or is directly applicable to this population. Focusing on issues of self identity, social interactions, and social perceptions, this book provides a broad overview of how aging affects one's own perceptions and actions as well as how others perceive and interact with the aged. Coverage includes such topics as self-control, memory, resilience, age stereotypes, moral development, and the "art" of living. With contributions from top researchers in both gerontology and psychology, this book is an important reference for academics and professionals alike in personality, cognition, social psychology, adult development, sociology, and gerontology.
Download or read book The Relationship Among Gender Age Blame and Children s Attributions about an Overweight Peer written by Emily A. Iobst and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research has shown that children are often less accepting of their overweight peers as compared to their average weight counterparts (e.g., Brylinsky & Moore, 1994; Cramer & Steinwert, 1998). Blaming one for his/her overweight condition may lead to more negative attributions about that person, according to attribution theory (Weiner, 1986). The current study examined the role of blame in children's attributions about their overweight peers. Further, the current study investigated whether perceiver characteristics, specifically age and gender, were related to children's attributions about their overweight peers, and the extent to which blame mediated these relationships. A confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to determine whether the seven traits (e.g., being bad, worried, happy, nice) measured in this study were reflective of a single, unidimensional factor rather than separate constructs. Data for two hundred ninety-one children (aged 3- to 11-years-old) were analyzed for this study. Participants were assigned to view a videotape of a same-sex peer dressed to appear overweight. Following the viewing of the videotape, children completed the Child Interview (Lehmkuhl, 2005; Lehmkuhl et al., 2002; Lehmkuhl et al., 2004), which assessed the participants' perceptions of the target child on certain traits, their perceptions about how much the child was to blame for being overweight, and how much they generally accepted the target child. Results of the confirmatory factor analysis indicated that six of the seven traits loaded onto a single factor, referred to as "judgment." Blame was significantly and positively associated with judgment, with higher blame scores (low blame) being related to higher judgment scores (more positive judgment). Gender was neither related to blame nor judgment. Results also suggested age level differences in blame and attributions about overweight peers. However, these age level differences depended on which endogenous variable was being examined. Five- to 8-year-olds reported the least amount of blame, and, through mediation, the most accepting views of the model, compared to the other age groups. Young children (aged 3- to 4-years-old) were less accepting compared to the other two age groups, and thus, interventions should focus on this age group to possibly prevent negative opinions in later years. Further, because positivity toward overweight peers did not continue into the 9- to 11-year-old age group, interventions should also be directed at this age group, who might be apt to be less accepting of their overweight peers due to the social concerns and identity formation (Jones & Crawford, 2006; Neumark-Sztainer, Falkner, Story, Perry, Hannan, & Mulert, 2002) during this time in development. Future research should examine the impact of interventions on children's perceptions of fault for peers who are overweight to determine what techniques are related to improved perceptions of peers who are physically different.

Download or read book Gender Development written by Susan Golombok and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1994-01-28 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gender Development is the first book to examine gender from a truly developmental perspective and fills a real need for a textbook and source book for college and graduate students, parents, teachers, researchers, and counsellors. It examines the processes involved in the development of gender, addressing such sensitive and complex questions as what causes males and females to be different and why they behave in different ways. The authors provide an up-to-date, integrative review of theory and research, tracing gender development from the moment of conception through adulthood and emphasising the complex interaction of biology, socialisation, and cognition. The topics covered include hormonal influences, moral development, play and friendships, experiences at school and work, and psychopathology.

Book excerpt: As our society ages, the topic of cognitive aging is becoming increasingly important. This volume provides an accessible overview of how the cognitive system changes as a function of normal aging. Building on the successful first edition, this volume provide an even more comprehensive coverage of the major issues affecting memory, attention, language, speech and other aspects of cognitive functioning. The essential chapters from the first edition have been thoroughly revised and updated and new chapters have been introduced which draw in neuroscience studies and more applied topics. In addition, contributors were encouraged to ensure their chapters are accessible to students studying the topic for the first time. This therefore makes the volume appealing as a textbook on senior undergraduate and graduate courses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most health research to date has been pursued within the confines of scientific disciplines that are guided by their own targeted questions and research strategies. Although useful, such inquiries are inherently limited in advancing understanding the interplay of wide-ranging factors that shape human health. The Oxford Handbook of Integrative Health Science embraces an integrative approach that seeks to put together sociodemographic factors (age, gender, race, socioeconomic status) known to contour rates of morbidity and mortality with psychosocial factors (emotion, cognition, personality, well-being, social connections), behavioral factors (health practices) and stress exposures (caregiving responsibilities, divorce, discrimination) also known to influence health. A further overarching theme is to explicate the biological pathways through which these various effects occur. The biopsychosocial leitmotif that inspires this approach demands new kinds of studies wherein wide-ranging assessments across different domains are assembled on large population samples. The MIDUS (Midlife in the U.S.) national longitudinal study exemplifies such an integrative study, and all findings presented in this collection draw on MIDUS. The way the study evolved, via collaboration of scientists working across disciplinary lines, and its enthusiastic reception from the scientific community are all part of the larger story told. Embedded within such tales are important advances in the identification of key protective or vulnerability factors: these pave the way for practice and policy initiatives seeking to improve the nation's health.

Download or read book Religion and Conflict Attribution written by Francis-Vincent Anthony and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2014-10-30 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religion can play a dual role with regard to conflict. It can promote either violence or peace. Religion and Conflict Attribution seeks to clarify the causes of religious conflict as perceived by Christian, Muslim and Hindu college students in Tamil Nadu, India. These students in varying degrees attribute conflict to force-driven causes, namely to coercive power as a means of achieving the economic, political or socio-cultural goals of religious groups. The study reveals how force-driven religious conflict is influenced by prescriptive beliefs like religious practice and mystical experience, and descriptive beliefs such as the interpretation of religious plurality and religiocentrism. It also elaborates on the practical consequences of the salient findings for the educational process.

Download or read book The Influence of Cultural Contexts in Learners Attributions for Success and Failure in Foreign Language Learning written by Ana Sofia Gonzalez and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2015-10-05 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Attribution theory has attracted considerable attention in recent years, especially in the field of language learning. A great share of the research conducted in this area has attempted to uncover factors that could influence learners’ perceptions of success and failure in foreign language learning. Particular emphasis has been given to factors like age, gender, perceived level of success, and language studied, and some suggestions that learners’ cultures also play a part have been made, although conclusions based on researchers’ assumptions of learners’ culture characteristics can run the risk of falling into stereotyping. This book is the result of research conducted to show that learners’ cultural characteristics (previously researched and analysed by means of grounded theory and factor analysis) may influence not only the attributions mentioned by them for their successes and failures in learning English, but also the way learners see these attributions in terms of their dimensions of locus of causality, stability and controllability (a classification that has been regarded as common-sense and has, therefore, often been made by researchers themselves). This book will be of interest to scholars whose research focus is in theories of motivation and self-theories, especially as they are applied to learning in general, and language learning in particular. It will also be useful to language teachers, especially those working in foreign language learning contexts as they are in a good position to identify reasons for their learners’ lack of motivation caused by their success and failure perceptions, and may have some ideas on how to retrain learners’ attributions, particularly those which are more external and stable.
