Download or read book Rights and Wrongs How Children and Young Adults Evaluate the World written by Marta Laupa and published by Jossey-Bass. This book was released on 2000-10-23 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This issue focuses on the way children and young adults understand and form judgements of right and wrong and examines the ways these judgements are independent yet coordinated. Authors address the formation of judgements of right and wrong within and across different domains of knowledge as well as interrelations or coordinations across judgements of different types. They present research on judgements of truth and how children distinguish domains of truth. They examine how children judge moral and mathematical rights and wrongs and coordinate them with concepts of authority. They also discuss children's distinction between what is held to be factually true and morally right as well as how they make judgements about moral worthiness and moral obligation. By drawing on distinctions both psychological, and epistemological, between social and nonsocial knowledge as well as between different domains of reasoning within each area, this issue offers great insight into children's and adolescents' understanding of rights and wrongs. This is the 89th issue of the quarterly journal New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development.

Download or read book Moral Development and Reality written by John C. Gibbs and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-04-04 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moral Development and Reality explores the nature of moral development, human behavior, and social interconnections. The exploration elucidates the full range of moral development, from superficial perception to a deeper understanding and feeling through social perspective-taking. By comparing, contrasting, and going beyond the key theories of preeminent thinkers Lawrence Kohlberg, Martin Hoffman, and Jonathan Haidt, John C. Gibbs tackles vital questions: What exactly is morality and its development? Can the key theoretical perspectives be integrated? What accounts for prosocial behavior, and how can we understand and treat antisocial behavior? Does moral development, including moments of moral inspiration, reflect a deeper reality? This fourth edition of Moral Development and Reality is thoroughly updated, refined, and expanded. A major addition considers Paul Bloom's important challenge to Hoffman's theory. This book will have broad appeal across academic and applied disciplines in social and developmental psychology, education, the helping professions, and human development. Complete with case studies and chapter questions, it serves especially well as a text in advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in social and developmental psychology, education, the helping professions, and human development.

Download or read book Handbook of Organizational Justice written by Jerald Greenberg and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 657 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Matters of perceived fairness and justice run deep in the workplace. Workers are concerned about being treated fairly by their supervisors; managers generally are interested in treating their direct reports fairly; and everyone is concerned about what happens when these expectations are violated. This exciting new handbook covers the topic of organizational justice, defined as people's perceptions of fairness in organizations. The Handbook of Organizational Justice is designed to be a complete, current, and comprehensive reference chronicling the current state of the organizational justice literature. Tracing the development of ideas regarding organizational justice, this book: *introduces the topic of organizational justice from a historical perspective and presents fundamental issues regarding the nature of organizational justice; *examines the justice judgment process, specifically addressing basic psychological processes, such as the roles of control, self-interest, morality, and trust in the formation of justice judgments; *discusses the consequences of fair and unfair treatment in the workplace; *focuses on such key issues as promoting justice in the workplace in ways that help manage stress, and the underlying processes that account for the effectiveness of justice applications; *examines the generalizability of the interaction between process and outcomes and focuses on the notion of cross-cultural differences in justice effects; and *summarizes the state of the science of organizational justice and presents various issues for future research and theorizing. This Handbook is useful as a guide for professors and graduate students, primarily in the fields of management and psychology. It also is highly relevant to professionals in the fields of communication, sociology, legal studies, marketing, and human resources management.

Download or read book Conventionality in Cognitive Development How Children Acquire Shared Representations in Language Thought and Action written by Mark A. Sabbagh and published by Jossey-Bass. This book was released on 2007-03-30 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An important part of cognitive development is coming to think in culturally normative ways. Children learn the right names for objects, proper functions for tools, appropriate ways to categorize, and the rules for games. In each of these cases, what makes a given practice normative is not naturally given. There is not necessarily any objectively better or worse way to do any of these things. Instead, what makes them correct is that people agree on how they should be done, and each of these practices therefore has an important conventional basis. The chapters in this volume highlight the fact that successful participation in practices of language, cognition, and play depends on children's ability to acquire representations that other members of their social worlds share. Each of these domains poses problems of identifying normative standards and achieving coordination across agents. This volume brings together scholars from diverse areas in cognitive development to consider the psychological mechanisms supporting the use and acquisition of conventional knowledge. This is the 115th volume of the quarterly report series New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development.

Download or read book Human Technogenesis Cultural Pathways Through the Information Age written by Dinesh Sharma and published by Jossey-Bass. This book was released on 2004-10-08 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The chapters in this volume demonstrate that the recent wave of innovation and adaptation to information technologies, giving rise to a new form of "human technogenesis," is fundamentally transforming our everyday interactions and potentially reconstructing the nature and process of human development. Human technogenesis is the constructive process of individual and sociocultural innovation and adaptation to the everyday interactions with information technologies, which significantly affects the developing and the developed mind. The technologically driven information economy is reshaping everyday human behavior and sociocultural environments. Yet our paradigms for understanding human development within a cultural framework are guided by traditional and dichotomous ideas about the social world (for example, individualism-collectivism, egocentric-sociocentric, modern-traditional, Western-Non-Western). As the impact of information technologies permeates all aspects of our lives, research in human development and psychology must face the digitally, connected social environments as its laboratory, filled with naturally occurring experiments, whether it is the speed at which we now communicate in the home or workplace, the far-reaching access children have to a wide array of information previously unavailable, or the vicarious anonymity with which we are able to participate in each other's lives through the new media tools. This volume begins the necessary discussion on how researchers will need to recognize the technology's impact on human development in their work and practice. This is the 105th volume of the Jossey-Bass quarterly report series New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development.

Download or read book Examining Adolescent Leisure Time Across Cultures Developmental Opportunities and Risks written by Suman Verma and published by Jossey-Bass. This book was released on 2003-04-21 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To gain deeper insight into the developmental opportunities and risks that adolescents experience in their free time, this volume explores adolescents' daily leisure experience across countries. Each chapter describes the sociocultural contexts in which adolescents live, along with a profile of free-time activities. Collectively, the chapters highlight the differences and similarities between cultures; how family, peers, and wider social factors influence the use of free time; which societies provide more freedom and at what costs; and how adolescents cope with restricted degrees of freedom and with what consequences on their mental health and well-being. Adolescence worldwide is a life period of role restructuring and social learning. Free-time activities provide opportunities to experiment with roles and develop new adaptive strategies and other interpersonal skills that have an impact on development, socialization, and the transition to adulthood. Leisure provides a rich context in which adolescents can gain control over their attentional processes and learn from relationships with peers, but it also has potential costs, such as involvement in deviant and risk behaviors. This volume is a valuable contribution to the research and discussion of this critical topic. This is the 99th volume in the Jossey-Bass quarterly report series New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development.

Download or read book Exploring Cultural Conceptions of the Transitions to Adulthood written by Nancy L. Galambos and published by Jossey-Bass. This book was released on 2003-06-27 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The transition to adulthood has been studied for decades in terms of transition events such as leaving home, finishing education, and entering marriage and parenthood, but only recently have studies examined the conceptions of young people themselves on what it means to become an adult. The goal of this volume is to extend the study of conceptions of adulthood to a wider range of cultures. The chapters in this volume examine conceptions of adulthood among Israelis, Argentines, American Mormons, Germans, Canadians, and three American ethnic minority groups. There is a widespread emphasis across cultures on individualistic criteria for adulthood, but each culture has been found to emphasize culturally distinctive criteria as well. This volume represents a beginning in research on cultural conceptions of the transition to adulthood and points the way to a broad range of opportunities for future investigation. This is the 100th issue of the quarterly report New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development.

Download or read book Supportive Frameworks for Youth Engagement written by Mimi Michaelson and published by Jossey-Bass. This book was released on 2001-10-02 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This issue explores the phenomenon of engagement in adolescence and early adulthood. The authors of this volume draw on the Good Work Project and the Alfred P. Sloan Study of Youth and Social Development, two studies using complementary methodologies, in-depth interviews, and self-reports of subjective experience in daily life. They examine why young people are drawn to certain areas of work and, once there, what sustains them. A supportive family background, mentors or role models, involvement in cooperative activities, cultivation of intrinsic interest, awareness of moral and political issues, and traits such as moral sensitivity and optimism are among the central factors that the authors explore. The better these factors are understood, the more effectively we can support youth engagement.
