Download or read book Multipolar Globalization written by Jan Nederveen Pieterse and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-07 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like a giant oil tanker, the world is slowly turning. The rapid growth of economies in Asia and the global South has led to a momentous shift in the world order, leaving much of the traditional literature on globalization behind. Multipolar Globalization: Emerging Economies and Development is the perfect guide to these ongoing 21st-century transformations, combining engaging and wide-ranging coverage with cutting-edge analysis. The rise of China and other emerging economies has led to the emergence of a new geography of trade, new economic and political combinations, new financial actors, investors and donors, and weaker American hegemony. This interdisciplinary volume combines development studies, global political economy, sociology, and cultural studies to ask what this growth means for domestic and global inequality and examines the role of multipolarity in the reshaping of globalization. Renowned globalization scholar Jan Nederveen Pieterse deftly guides the reader through the development of globalization in the West and the East, explaining key topics such as the 2008 crash, trends in inequality, the changing fortunes of the BRICs, and the role of governance and democracy. Accessible and insightful, this book will be an essential guide for both students in the social sciences and for professionals and scholars seeking a fresh perspective.

Download or read book The Social Psychology of Inequality written by Jolanda Jetten and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-10-31 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economic inequality has been of considerable interest to academics, citizens, and politicians worldwide for the past decade–and while economic inequality has attracted a considerable amount of research attention, it is only more recently that researchers have considered that economic inequality may have broader societal implications. However, while there is an increasingly clear picture of the varied ways in which economic inequality harms the fabric of society, there is a relatively poor understanding of the social psychological processes that are at work in unequal societies. This edited book aims to build on this emerging area of research by bringing together researchers who are at the forefront of this development and who can therefore provide timely insight to academics and practitioners who are grappling with the impact of economic inequality. This book will address questions relating to perceptions of inequality, mechanisms underlying effects of inequality, various consequences of inequality and the factors that contribute to the maintenance of inequality. The target audiences are students at advanced undergraduate or graduate level, as well as scholars and professionals in the field. The book fills a niche of both applied and practical relevance, strongly emphasizing theory and integration of different perspectives in social psychology. Given the broad interest in inequality within the social sciences, the book will be accessible to sociologists and political scientists as well as social, organizational, and developmental psychologists. The insights brought together in The Social Psychology of Inequality will contribute to a broader understanding of the far-reaching costs of inequality for the social health of a society and its citizens. "This edited volume brings together cutting-edge social psychological research addressing one of the most pressing issues of our times – economic inequality. Collectively, the chapters illuminate why inequality has negative effects on individuals and societies, when and for whom these negative effects are most likely to emerge, and the psychological mechanisms that maintain inequality. This comprehensive volume is an essential read for those interested in understanding and ameliorating inequality." -Brenda Major, Distinguished Professor, Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, University of California “This invaluable volume demonstrates the indispensable and powerful contribution that social psychologists can make to our understanding of societal inequality. For those outside of social psychology it provides a unique and comprehensive overview of what social psychology has to offer, and for social psychologists it is exemplary in demonstrating how to make a systematic contribution to the understanding of a hotly debated real-world issue. Scholars and students alike and from various disciplines will gain much from reading this fascinating and inspiring social psychological journey.” -Maykel Verkuyten, Professor in Interdisciplinary Social Science, University of Utrecht “The Social Psychology of Inequality offers a superb and timely social-psychological analysis of the causes and consequence of increasing wealth and income gaps. With its refreshingly international authorship, this volume offers profound insights into the cognitive and social mechanisms that help maintain, but potentially also to overcome, an economy that is rigged in favor of the wealthy. A new and stimulating voice, illustrating science in the service of a fairer and more democratic society.” -Anne Maass, Professor of Social Psychology, University of Padova “This volume assembles an impressive list of leading international scholars to address a timely and important issue, the causes and consequences of economic inequality. The approach to the topic is social psychological, but the editors and chapters make valuable connections to related literatures on socio-structural influences in allied disciplines, such as economics, political science, and sociology. The Social Psychology of Inequality offers cutting-edge insights into the psychological dynamics of inequality and novel synthesis of structural- and individual-level influences and outcomes of inequality. It should attract a wide audience and will set the agenda for research on economic inequality well into the future.” -John F. Dovidio, Carl Iver Hovland Professor of Psychology and Public Health, Yale University

Download or read book On the Self Regulation of Behavior written by Charles S. Carver and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2001-05-07 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a thorough overview of a model of human functioning based on the idea that behavior is goal-directed and regulated by feedback control processes. It describes feedback processes and their application to behavior, considers goals and the idea that goals are organized hierarchically, examines affect as deriving from a different kind of feedback process, and analyzes how success expectancies influence whether people keep trying to attain goals or disengage. Later sections consider a series of emerging themes, including dynamic systems as a model for shifting among goals, catastrophe theory as a model for persistence, and the question of whether behavior is controlled or instead 'emerges'. Three chapters consider the implications of these various ideas for understanding maladaptive behavior, and the closing chapter asks whether goals are a necessity of life. Throughout, theory is presented in the context of diverse issues that link the theory to other literatures.

This book was released on 2020-11-19 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tesis doctoral producto de una investigación educativa original, realizada entre 2017-2020, sobre la posible vinculación entre Inteligencia Emocional y Rendimiento Académico dentro del contexto educativo brasileño, con el fin de aportar evidencias sobre la pertinencia de enfatizar en la educación emocional en las aulas. Estructurada en seis capítulos, en los dos primeros se hace un repaso teórico entorno a las dos variables: Inteligencia Emocional y Rendimiento Académico. En el tercero se contextualiza del Sistema Educativo en Brasil específicamente, de la escuela donde se desarrolla la investigación y de los individuos foco, los adolescentes. Bajo este marco teórico se justifica el cuarto capítulo conformado por el estudio empírico, el quinto capítulo expone los resultados que evidencian la necesidad de desarrollo de este tipo de competencias entre los adolescentes, incidiendo en la atención emocional como la dimensión básica a potenciar en la muestra y la necesidad de adaptar las pruebas de evaluación al contexto brasileño. Es el último capítulo, asociado a la discusión y conclusiones, encontramos un debate en torno a la necesidad de seguir investigando en la misma línea, incluyendo otros instrumentos que vayan más allá de las medidas de autoinforme y líneas futuras de investigación utilizando análisis cualitativos.

Download or read book La inteligencia emocional en el aula written by Patricia Gaxiola and published by Ediciones SM. This book was released on 2015-09-15 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los maestros buscamos la formación integral de nuestros alumnos. Para ello nos apoyamos en los programas educativos oficiales y los de cada escuela; estamos atentos a las innovaciones educativas y tenemos el reto permanente de lograr las metas propuestas. Sin embargo, cada vez que concluye un ciclo escolar nos interrogamos acerca de qué determina el que un alumno sea o no exitoso en su vida actual y futura. Comúnmente los resultados académicos pretenden hablar por sí solos, pero no siempre el mejor promedio de calificaciones es sinónimo de éxito. ¿Qué será lo determinante? En este libro se propone que es la estabilidad emocional, producto del equilibrio entre las diferentes inteligencias de cada alumno, es decir, el llevar a los alumnos a sentir inteligentemente y pensar emocionalmente.
