Download or read book Why Do They Make Things so Complicated written by Lisa Monika Anna Mützel and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2017-05-05 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past 50 years, consumers’ buying situations have not become easier. Consumers remain easily overwrought by complex buying situations that involve buying complex products or services, such as laptops or insurances. In such situations, consumers find it difficult to make a decision and must spend high levels of cognitive effort on it. Prior consumer research has addressed the complexity of buying situations in several research streams such as in choice complexity or product complexity literature. However, previous researchers have not reached consensus on what constitutes the complexity of a buying situation. Furthermore, they have mostly concentrated on cognitive constructs and emotional constructs have been rather unexplored. To close these research gaps, this dissertation provides an in-depth conceptualization of complex buying situations by developing a comprehensive reference framework. Furthermore, this dissertation differs from prior research by examining in detail negative emotional responses to complexity (NERCO). A reliable and valid NERCO scale is developed that consists of two factors, emotional resignation and fear of post-purchase dissonance. An experiment investigates the influence of two input variables of the reference framework (1. the number of alternatives in the consumer’s price class and 2. the perceived expertise of the salesperson who provides a recommendation in a buying situation) on perceived choice complexity and on NERCO. This dissertation paves the way for numerous directions for future research on the complexity of buying situations by providing theoretical fundamentals in the form of a detailed conceptualization and by precisely defining the research gaps.

Download or read book How They Make It Work 21 Habits of a Successful Marriage written by Ed Wimberly and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-02-14 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the course of my 45 years in private practice, I have at times wondered how it is that some couples do so well beyond therapy and on their own to improve and progress, while others who initially improve through the counseling process seem to fall back into many of their old and self-defeating habits. It took me a while but I now understand that often, those couples who fall back into their old destructive habits usually do so because they neglect to replace them with new and productive ones. Removing dysfunctional habits must be followed by developing new and healthy habits. "How They Make it Work..." addresses 21 new habits I have consistently observed through follow-up contacts that seem to help couples continue to thrive and to grow on their own beyond professional intervention. At the end of each of the 21 chapters are several questions designed to help you process together the new habits that are being suggested here. Since they have worked for others, there is more than a good chance they will work for you. Testimonials "Dr. Wimberly's book was thought provoking, straight forward and easy to apply in our effort to build a healthier, more successful marriage."

Kirkpatrick, author of "Hard Left" and "The Resurrection of Johnny Roe".

Download or read book Strange Concepts and the Stories They Make Possible written by Lisa Zunshine and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2008-07-28 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this fresh and often playful interdisciplinary study, Lisa Zunshine presents a fluid discussion of how key concepts from cognitive science complicate our cultural interpretations of “strange” literary phenomena. From Short Circuit to I, Robot, from The Parent Trap to Big Business, fantastic tales of rebellious robots, animated artifacts, and twins mistaken for each other are a permanent fixture in popular culture and have been since antiquity. Why do these strange concepts captivate the human imagination so thoroughly? Zunshine explores how cognitive science, specifically its ideas of essentialism and functionalism, combined with historical and cultural analysis, can help us understand why we find such literary phenomena so fascinating. Drawing from research by such cognitive evolutionary anthropologists and psychologists as Scott Atran, Paul Bloom, Pascal Boyer, and Susan A. Gelman, Zunshine examines the cognitive origins of the distinction between essence and function and how unexpected tensions between these two concepts are brought into play in fictional narratives. Discussing motifs of confused identity and of twins in drama, science fiction’s use of robots, cyborgs, and androids, and nonsense poetry and surrealist art, she reveals the range and power of key concepts from science in literary interpretation and provides insight into how cognitive-evolutionary research on essentialism can be used to study fiction as well as everyday strange concepts.

Download or read book They Make Themselves written by Jane Fajans and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1997-08-04 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For generations of anthropologists, the Baining people have presented a challenge, because of their apparent lack of cultural or social structure. This group of small-scale horticulturists seems devoid of the complex belief systems and social practices that characterize other traditional peoples of Papua New Guinea. Their daily existence is mundane and repetitive in the extreme, articulated by only the most elementary familial relationships and social connections. The routine of everyday life, however, is occasionally punctuated by stunningly beautiful festivals of masked dancers, which the Baining call play and to which they attribute no symbolic significance. In a new work sure to evoke considerable repercussions and debate in anthropological theory, Jane Fajans courageously takes on the "Baining Problem," arguing that the Baining define themselves not through intricate cosmologies or social networks, but through the meanings generated by their own productive and reproductive work.
Download or read book They Make a Difference written by Hada Sarhan and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2011-05-06 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They Make a Difference: Men Say NO contains a selection of nine interviews conducted by journalist Hada Sarhan during the tumultuous years following the 2003 occupation of Iraq. Each of the nine men she interviews rejects, in part or in whole, the Western orthodoxy regarding the Palestinian conflict and the war in Iraq. Their thoughts and words demonstrate that no is not an expression of resignation, but rather an act of resistance to injustice. The interview subjects come from all over of the world and include journalists, novelists, and politicians. Although their backgrounds are quite different, the nine men are connected by a common thread: each is either a decision maker or contributes, through media or cultural clout, to setting the agenda for those in charge of policy choices. By saying noto violence, war, and genocidethey are saying yes to peace and humanity. Instead of fanning the flames of division and hatred, these men are committed to fostering a dialogue between East and West based on mutual respect and understanding.

Download or read book They Make Us Dangerous written by Frances R. Payne, PhD and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-01-30 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THEY MAKE US DANGEROUS is a firsthand account of events in Bolivia from 1964 to 1980. When teaching as a Dominican nun in a Midwest parish school, Sister Ruth is asked to make a radical change. This eventually leads to doctoral research in Bolivia and the opening of a missionary house in La Paz. When Sister Ruth arrives in La Paz, she encounters shocking poverty but is instantly drawn to this mesmerizing and enchanting country. The Catholic Church is in the middle of profound changes, self-criticism and deep division within its ranks. Politics in Bolivia will bring deepen the divide between the liberal and conservative clergy. The country is also poised on the brink of radical change because Washington is waging a Cold War and Bolivia is about to become one of its battlefields. Through revolution and oppression, the new missionaries learn more than they imagined about the daily struggles and the political reality of this South American country. US foreign policy, driven by the interests of transnational corporations corrupts a succession of governments. The World Bank and the International Monetary Fund have a stranglehold on Bolivia’s economy and the austerity measures they force on the government translate into more poverty and unrest. But the military boot crushes dissent. Close friends and students become victims. Silence is not an option. The first part of the memoir follows the sisters as they teach, research, organize and most of all learn. The second part is a personal account of Sister Ruth’s life under the Banzer dictatorship and Bolivia’s convulsive return to democratic rule. The addendum to the book summarizes and updates events in Bolivia since 1980.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A traumatic childhood experience causes a failed relationship with my parents and most of my siblings. When those who were supposed to nurture you, provide for you, love you, guide you, take care of you, make you feel comfortable instead choose otherwise and disappoint you, the end results can lead to destruction, shame, low self-esteem and/or failure. “The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace” (Exodus 14:14). The power of choice and having dreams had kept me going, kept me alive. While it is common to find people fixated on their history, the past, or on what other people had done to them, or said about them, none of these will really help you move forward. The good news for me is that my life has taught me a lot. Although there were plenty of things I could not control—like my parents’ anger, the slapping, the beatings, the whooping, the pulling, the name-calling, the putting me down in front of others—I always find strength to remain in a standing position. I had always tried to choose what next best thing for me to do. I had also tried to heal those internal wounds by reading self-help books. By doing so, I had learned better ways to cope and deal with issues, learn to love, appreciate, respect, forgive, and deal with my siblings in a less emotional way. I also know that life will take the meaning that you give to it. I sometimes feel cheated by my parents. I especially think that way because one of the things that children do is to teach their parents, challenge them, and expand their lives. An opportunity or a time in my life I had never lived or even experienced. It all seems like a story of unfinished sentences, of suppressed embraces, of almost belonging, of stammered affection.
