Experimental Study of the Emotional Sphere of Children, Adolescents and Early Adulthood in Ukraine will be valuable reading for scholars and students of child and adolescent psychology, clinical psychology, social psychology, psychotherapy and counselling, and education.

Book Emotional Development and Youths  Predisposition to Deception

Download or read book Emotional Development and Youths Predisposition to Deception written by Oleksiy Chebykin and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-08-26 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive book examines young people's propensity to deceive through the lens of emotional development and the research methods of polygraph and emotional maturity methodology. It presents evidence-based and practical results of this research, identifying a predisposition to deceit in people with different types of emotional maturity. The book begins with outlining the history and development of the polygraph and highlights the theoretical and methodological foundations of its application. Sharing the main aims and results of this study, the book then highlights the principal components and different types of emotional maturity, how the emotional sphere plays a determining role in deceit and specifically how changes in self-expression, self-regulation, and empathy can govern a person's character to deceive. On the basis of this extensive experimental data, the authors clearly demonstrate how various features of the youth’s tendency to deceive depended on age, gender characteristics and educational and professional training. This book is of great scientific and practical importance and will be useful to psychologists, students, scientific and pedagogical workers, as well as specialists involved in the selection and audit of personnel, and other readers interested in using the polygraph method to detect and predict fraud.

Book Everyday Post Socialism

Download or read book Everyday Post Socialism written by Jeremy Morris and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-09-01 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a rich ethnographic account of blue-collar workers’ everyday life in a central Russian industrial town coping with simultaneous decline and the arrival of transnational corporations. Everyday Post-Socialism demonstrates how people manage to remain satisfied, despite the crisis and relative poverty they faced after the fall of socialist projects and the social trends associated with neoliberal transformation. Morris shows the ‘other life’ in today’s Russia which is not present in mainstream academic discourse or even in the media in Russia itself. This book offers co-presence and a direct understanding of how the local community lives a life which is not only bearable, but also preferable and attractive when framed in the categories of ‘habitability’, commitment and engagement, and seen in the light of alternative ideas of worth and specific values. Topics covered include working-class identity, informal economy, gender relations and transnational corporations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the early 1990s, a small group of "AIDS denialists," including a University of California professor named Peter Duesberg, argued against virtually the entire medical establishment's consensus that the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was the cause of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. Science thrives on such counterintuitive challenges, but there was no evidence for Duesberg's beliefs, which turned out to be baseless. Once researchers found HIV, doctors and public health officials were able to save countless lives through measures aimed at preventing its transmission"--

  • ISBN : 1441916946

Download or read book Encyclopedia of Adolescence written by Roger J.R. Levesque and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-09-05 with total page 3161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Encyclopedia of Adolescence breaks new ground as an important central resource for the study of adolescence. Comprehensive in breath and textbook in depth, the Encyclopedia of Adolescence – with entries presented in easy-to-access A to Z format – serves as a reference repository of knowledge in the field as well as a frequently updated conduit of new knowledge long before such information trickles down from research to standard textbooks. By making full use of Springer’s print and online flexibility, the Encyclopedia is at the forefront of efforts to advance the field by pushing and creating new boundaries and areas of study that further our understanding of adolescents and their place in society. Substantively, the Encyclopedia draws from four major areas of research relating to adolescence. The first broad area includes research relating to "Self, Identity and Development in Adolescence". This area covers research relating to identity, from early adolescence through emerging adulthood; basic aspects of development (e.g., biological, cognitive, social); and foundational developmental theories. In addition, this area focuses on various types of identity: gender, sexual, civic, moral, political, racial, spiritual, religious, and so forth. The second broad area centers on "Adolescents’ Social and Personal Relationships". This area of research examines the nature and influence of a variety of important relationships, including family, peer, friends, sexual and romantic as well as significant nonparental adults. The third area examines "Adolescents in Social Institutions". This area of research centers on the influence and nature of important institutions that serve as the socializing contexts for adolescents. These major institutions include schools, religious groups, justice systems, medical fields, cultural contexts, media, legal systems, economic structures, and youth organizations. "Adolescent Mental Health" constitutes the last major area of research. This broad area of research focuses on the wide variety of human thoughts, actions, and behaviors relating to mental health, from psychopathology to thriving. Major topic examples include deviance, violence, crime, pathology (DSM), normalcy, risk, victimization, disabilities, flow, and positive youth development.
