Book excerpt: STUDY HABITS The research reported in this thesis makes a modest study of Study Habits in post-graduate students in relation to certain important social and psychological factors. The sociological variables include ethnicity, faculty and gender while the psychological variables consist of adjustment, aspiration, and parental support. The data of study habits and use of library, adjustment, aspiration and parental support were collected from 400 post-graduate students drawn from four faculties namely Arts, Science, Commerce and Medicine. Each faculty was represented by 100 cases divided into an equal number of tribal, non-tribal, male and female cases. In addition to the above noted psychological variables, the academic achievement of the student was also taken into account. The marks obtained by the students in their last examination were considered as a measure of academic achievement. The data obtained were analyzed to measure the extent of Study Habit and Use of library among Post Graduate students of four faculties. Besides, an attempt was made to examine the main and interaction effect of ethnicity, faculty and gender on two main dependent variables namely Study Habits and Use of Library. Furthermore, the relationship of Study Habits and Use of Library was examined with adjustment, aspiration and parental support. Inter-relationship of Study Habits and Use of Library was also studied and those two variables were correlated with academic achievement.

Download or read book The Psychology of Habit written by Bas Verplanken and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-10-30 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique reference explores the processes and nuances of human habits through social psychology and behavioral lenses. It provides a robust definition and theoretical framework for habit as well as up-to-date information on habit measurement, addressing such questions as which mechanisms are involved in habitual action and whether people can report accurately on their own habits. Specialized chapters pay close attention to how habits can be modified, as well as widely varying manifestations of habitual thoughts and behaviors, including the mechanisms of drug addiction and recovery, the repetitive characteristics of autism, and the unwitting habits of health professionals that may impede patient care. And across these pages, contributors show the potential for using the processes of maladaptive habits to replace them with positive and health-promoting ones. Throughout this volume attention is also paid to the practice of conducting habit research. Among the topics covered: Habit mechanisms and behavioral complexity. Complexities and controversies of physical activity habit. Habit discontinuities as vehicles for behavior change. Habits in depression: understanding and intervention. A critical review of habit theory of drug dependence. Questions about the automaticity of habitual behaviors. The Psychology of Habit will interest psychologists across a wide spectrum of domains: habit researchers in broader areas of social and health psychology, professionals working in (sub)clinical areas, interested scholars in marketing, consumer research, communication, and education, and public policymakers dealing with questions of behavioral change in the areas of health, sustainability, and/or education.

Download or read book Healthy Eating in Schools written by Catherine P. Cook-Cottone and published by Applying Psychology in the Sch. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concern over increased childhood obesity has spurred various school-based interventions. However, these interventions often have little positive effect and may inadvertently contribute to unhealthy behaviours during weight loss attempts. Indeed, a general emphasis on appearance and weight (rather than health) can promote eating disordered behaviours. This book provides a conceptual model for understanding both obesity and eating disordered behaviours. Specifically, it advocates for body acceptance and intuitive eating -- a flexible, healthy eating behaviour involving awareness of the body's hunger and satiety cues. Within this context, the chapters review evidence-based school interventions in nutrition, self-regulation, exercise, body acceptance, media literacy, and mindfulness. Guidance is also provided for identifying, referring, and supporting students with emerging eating disorders. Without empirically supported guidance, schools run the risk of implementing ineffective or harmful programming in an effort to do good. Thus, this book is a much needed resource for teachers, administrators, counsellors, nurses, and other school personnel.
Download or read book Socio Psychological Dimensions for Social Work A practice guide written by Dr. Sujatha M. and published by Nitya Publications. This book was released on 2019-01-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book “Socio-Psychological Dimensions for Social Work (A Practice guide)” will introduce the discipline of professional social work. Social work is admired as a noble profession across the globe. However, in India, it is yet to be recognized as a full-fledged profession as a profession it is concerned with helping individuals, families, groups and communities to enhance their individual and collective well-being. It aims to help people develop their skills and their ability to use their own esources, and those of the community to resolve their problems. Social work is concerned with, both the individual and problems and broader social issues. Through its nature, social work reveals its close relationship with other social sciences, like sociology, psychology, psychiatry, political Science, public administration, jurisprudence, history, human geography and other sciences. With this credible input from socio-psychology, social work evolves as a helping profession that contributes to individual‟s growth and development.
