Book New Paradigm Psychology of Reasoning

Download or read book New Paradigm Psychology of Reasoning written by Shira Elqayam and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years the psychology of reasoning has undergone radical change, which can only be seen as a Kuhn-style scientific revolution. This shift has been dubbed ‘New Paradigm’. For years, psychologists of reasoning focused on binary truth values and regarded the influence of belief as a bias. In contrast to this, the new paradigm puts probabilities, and subjective degrees of belief, centre stage. It also emphasises subjective psychological value, or utility; the way we reason within our own social environment (‘social pragmatics’); and the crucial role of dual process theories. Such theories distinguish between fast, intuitive processes, and effortful processes which enable hypothetical thinking. The new paradigm aims to integrate the psychology of reasoning with the study of judgement and decision making, leading to a much more unified field of higher mental processing. This collection showcases these recent developments, with chapters on topics such as the difference between deduction and induction, a Bayesian formulation of faint praise, the role of emotion in reasoning, and the relevance of psychology of reasoning to moral judgement. This book was originally published as a special issue of Thinking & Reasoning.

Book New Paradigm Psychology

Download or read book New Paradigm Psychology written by Claudia Vayda and published by John Hunt Publishing. This book was released on 2018-07-27 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if there was a way, not just to help people get over the bad times, but to help them achieve to the utmost of their potential? A way to be with clients and be absolutely our best without getting burnt out, drained or exhausted? New Paradigm Psychology addresses these questions by introducing the idea of energetic interactions between the therapist and their clients, and then showing how to manage boundaries around these interactions to prevent feeling exhausted or drained or even depressed and anxious after interactions. It also discusses the importance of 'psycho-spiritual' qualities such as hope, unconditional love, and compassion in practice. New Paradigm Psychology is both for very experienced as well as new therapists. Importantly, it is not a new therapy, but instead gives new skills and strategies that can be used alongside the therapist’s choice of framework.

Book Brand Intimacy

Download or read book Brand Intimacy written by Mario Natarelli and published by Hatherleigh Press. This book was released on 2017-10-23 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Patagonia to Apple, Whole Foods to New Balance, we love our favorite products--and, by extension, the companies that provide them. The emotional connections we form with our beloved brands and services are important relationships--relationships that are potentially worth billions. In the fast-paced, constantly-changing world of the modern marketplace, brands must adapt or perish—strategies, methods, and techniques must evolve to remain effective and relevant. Are you using yesterday’s thinking for tomorrow’s challenges? Brand Intimacy details ways to build better marketing through the cultivation of emotional connections between brand and consumer. The book provides lessons for marketers and business leaders alike who are seeking to understand these ultimate brand relationships and the opportunities they represent. Divided into three sections, Brand Intimacy starts with Context and Understanding. This explains today’s marketing landscape, the effects of technology, consumer behaviors and the advancements around decision making. Through research we discovered that people form relationships with brands the same way they develop relationships with other people. This section provides guidance on how to think about complimentary concepts such as loyalty, satisfaction and brand value. We then explore and compare established approaches and methodologies and showcase why intimacy is a compelling new and enhanced opportunity to build your brand or market your business. The second section, Theory and Model reveals and dimensions the brand intimacy model and dissects it into steps to help you better factor it into your marketing approaches or frameworks. Here you will learn the core concepts and components that are essential to build bonds and the role emotion can play to help you achieve greater customer engagement. You can also review the rankings of the best brands in terms of Brand Intimacy. A summary of our annual research reveals the characteristics of best performers, the most intimate industries, and differences based on geography, age, gender and income. By examining the top intimate brands, we reveal and decode the secrets of the bonds they form with their customers. The third section is Methods & Practice, this details the economic benefits and advantages of a strategy that factors Brand Intimacy. Intimate brands are proven to outperform the Fortune 500 and Standards and Poors’ index of brands. Intimate brands create more revenue and profit and last longer. Consumers are also willing to pay more for a brand they are more intimate with. Conversely, we also explore a series of brand failures and lessons learned to help you avoid common pitfalls in brand management. We articulate the steps to build a more intimate brand as well as share a glimpse on the future where software will play a more important role in brand building. The book outlines a proprietary digital platform that we use to help manage and enable intimacy through collaboration, simulators and real-time tracking of emotions. Business and marketing owners face an increasing difficult task to build brands that rise above the clutter, engage more and grow. Brand Intimacy explains how to better measure, build and manage enduring brands. Brands that are built to inspire as well as profit. Written by experienced marketers and backed by extensive research, Brand Intimacy rewrites the rulebook on how to establish and expand your marketing. The book is equal parts theory, research and practice, the result of 7 year journey and a new marketing paradigm for the modern marketer.

Book Goffman Unbound

    Book Details:
  • Author : Thomas J. Scheff
  • Publisher : Routledge
  • Release : 2015-11-17
  • ISBN : 1317258770
  • Pages : 253 pages

Download or read book Goffman Unbound written by Thomas J. Scheff and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-11-17 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Thomas Scheff demonstrates why Goffman remains such a key figure for social scientists. Goffman may have been cautious about recognizing the role of emotions in social life, but Scheff boldly and creatively shows why the sociological and the psychological are necessarily intertwined. This is certainly a book for all serious analysts of social behaviour." Michael Billig, Nottingham University "Scheff's critical eye is equal to his subject, shrewdly appreciating Goffman's many virtues while also showing where and how Goffman's thinking needs revision and development. This original and provocative book offers a fresh interpretation of Goffman and will become a benchmark for all subsequent commentary." Greg Smith, University of Salford One of the seminal sociologists of the twentieth century, Erving Goffman revolutionized our understanding of the microworld of emotions and relationships. We all live in this world every day of our lives, yet it is virtually invisible to us. Goffman's genius was to recognize and describe this world as no one had before. The book synthesizes prior scholarly commentary on Goffman's work, and includes biographical material from his life, untangling some of the many puzzles in Goffman's work and life. Scheff also proposes ways of filling gaps and false starts. One chapter explores the meaning of the emotion of love, another of hatred. These and other new directions could facilitate the creation of a microsocial science that unveils the emotional/relational world.

Book NEW PARADIGM ECONOMICS

Download or read book NEW PARADIGM ECONOMICS written by TIANYU DAI and published by American Academic Press. This book was released on 2023-06-01 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new era calls for new economics. This book offers a new paradigm of economics with a new perspective and a new fundamental logic system in this new century. The new paradigm originates from a fundamental fact: The main behavioral subjects of socio-economic activities are not individuals, but social organizations composed of individuals, such as families, enterprises, schools, research institutes, government branches, charity organizations and so on. So this book replaces the controversial assumption of "economic man" with the model of "the minimum economic system" abstracted from reality and establishes a new logic analysis framework of "economic unit (the minimum economic system) -- economic flow (the input and output between economic units) -- economic field (the space-time distribution of economic units and their movement)" which is totally different from all existing economics theories. As a result, this book reconstructs economics on a foundation of natural science and systems science and can explain the secret of China's rapid economic growth and other economic puzzles at the level of fundamental logic. This book replaces neoclassical and modern orthodox economics with a new economics meta-theory, making it a fascinating read and providing a valuable reference for researchers, teachers and students majoring in economics.

Book Harm Reduction Psychotherapy

Download or read book Harm Reduction Psychotherapy written by Andrew Tatarsky and published by Jason Aronson. This book was released on 2007-06-10 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ground-breaking volume provides readers with both an overview of harm reduction therapy and a series of ten case studies, treated by different therapists, that vividly illustrate this treatment approach with a wide variety of clients. Harm reduction is a framework for helping drug and alcohol users who cannot or will not stop completely—the majority of users—reduce the harmful consequences of use. Harm reduction accepts that abstinence may be the best outcome for many but relaxes the emphasis on abstinence as the only acceptable goal and criterion of success. Instead, smaller incremental changes in the direction of reduced harmfulness of drug use are accepted. This book will show how these simple changes in emphasis and expectation have dramatic implications for improving the effectiveness of psychotherapy in many ways. From the Foreword by Alan Marlatt, Ph.D.: “This ground-breaking volume provides readers with both an overview of harm reduction therapy and a series of ten case studies, treated by different therapists, that vividly illustrate this treatment approach with a wide variety of clients. In his introduction, Andrew Tatarsky describes harm reduction as a new paradigm for treating drug and alcohol problems. Some would say that harm reduction embraces a paradigm shift in addiction treatment, as it has moved the field beyond the traditional abstinence-only focus typically associated with the disease model and the ideology of the twelve-step approach. Others may conclude that the move toward harm reduction represents an integration of what Dr. Tatarsky describes as the “basic principles of good clinical practice” into the treatment of addictive behaviors. “Changing addiction behavior is often a complex and complicated process for both client and therapist. What seems to work best is the development of a strong therapeutic alliance, the right fit between the client and treatment provider. The role of the harm reduction therapist is closer to that of a guide, someone who can provide support an

Book An Introduction to Islamic Psychology

Download or read book An Introduction to Islamic Psychology written by Mohammad Khodayarifard and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-11-01 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary psychology is highly influenced by positivism and scientific naturalism. Psychological studies make efforts to control the variables and provide operational definitions of subjective constructs in order to reach the most concrete conclusions. Such efforts are admirable in natural sciences since they have led to a better life. But, this worldview has deprived contemporary psychology of more qualitative sources of knowledge like waḥy (revelation). The present book introduces Islamic psychology as a paradigm, which can apply waḥy knowledge and consider religious/spiritual dimensions of humans in scientific exploration. The first part discusses the possibility, foundations, and characteristics of Islamic psychology. The second part introduces research methodology in Islamic psychology. The third part reviews the Quranic theory of personality and highlights the concept of shakeleh. Finally, the fourth part presents the theories and methods of religious psychotherapy in the Islamic tradition. Each part provides introductory content for readers interested in Islamic psychology.
