Download or read book Social Judgment and Decision Making written by Joachim I. Krueger and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2012-05-04 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together classic key concepts and innovative theoretical ideas in the psychology of judgment and decision-making in social contexts. The chapters of the first section address the basic psychological processes underlying judgment and decision-making. The guiding question is "What information comes to mind and how is it transformed?" The second section poses the question of how social judgments and decisions are to be evaluated. The chapters in this section present new quantitative models that help separate various forms of accuracy and bias. The third section shows how judgments and decisions are shaped by ecological constraints. These chapters show how many seemingly complex configurations of social information are tractable by relatively simple statistical heuristics. The fourth section explores the relevance of research on judgment and decision making for specific tasks of personal or social relevance. These chapters explore how individuals can efficiently select mates, form and maintain friendship alliances, judiciously integrate their attitudes with those of a group, and help shape policies that are rational and morally sound. The book is intended as an essential resource for senior undergraduates, postgraduates, researchers, and practitioners.

Download or read book The Effect of the Social Decision making Skills Curriculum on the Emotional Intelligence and Prosocial Skills of Primary Students grade 1 3 in Lebanon written by Zeina George Mouganie and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children's exposure to undesirable and confusing social messages from their soci ety, has led to an increase in violence and poor self- concept among children in schools (Doty, 2001). A large body of research is encouraging teaching children to solve problems and make decisions in interpersonal relations to avoid resort ing to antisocial behavior. The purpose of this research was to study the effect of the Social Decision- Making Skills Curriculum (SDMSC) on the emotional intelligence and the prosocial behaviors of primary students in Grades 1- 3, in a private sc hool in Lebanon. The students will be trained in social problem- solving and social decision- mak ing skills through the implementation of the SDMSC. It was hypothesized that the re will be a significant difference in emotional intelligence and prosocial skil ls, respectively, between students (Grades 1 ? 3), who have been trained in soci al decision- making and problem- solving skills using the SDMSC, and those who h ave not been trained in these skills. The participants for this study were a tot al number of 80 students (29 students in the experimental group and 51 students in the control group). The SDMSC will be implemented in classrooms to students i n the experimental group. A rating scale from this curriculum was used to determ ine the students' strengths in social decision- making and social- problem- solving skills (Elias and Clabby, 1989). The subjects' emot ional intelligence was assessed using the Bar- On Emotional Inventory: Youth Ver sion and Parker, 2000a). Following a nine- week training in the Social Decision- Making (Bar-On) Skills Curriculum, ANCOVA results showed that there were signif icant differences in the emotional intelligence and prosocial skills of children in the experimental group, as compared to those in the control group.

Download or read book When I m 64 written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2006-02-13 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By 2030 there will be about 70 million people in the United States who are older than 64. Approximately 26 percent of these will be racial and ethnic minorities. Overall, the older population will be more diverse and better educated than their earlier cohorts. The range of late-life outcomes is very dramatic with old age being a significantly different experience for financially secure and well-educated people than for poor and uneducated people. The early mission of behavioral science research focused on identifying problems of older adults, such as isolation, caregiving, and dementia. Today, the field of gerontology is more interdisciplinary. When I'm 64 examines how individual and social behavior play a role in understanding diverse outcomes in old age. It also explores the implications of an aging workforce on the economy. The book recommends that the National Institute on Aging focus its research support in social, personality, and life-span psychology in four areas: motivation and behavioral change; socioemotional influences on decision-making; the influence of social engagement on cognition; and the effects of stereotypes on self and others. When I'm 64 is a useful resource for policymakers, researchers and medical professionals.
