Download or read book When Groups Meet written by Thomas F. Pettigrew and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research and theory on intergroup contact have become one of the fastest advancing and most exciting fields in social psychology in recent years. The work is exciting because it combines basic social psychological concerns -- human interaction, situational influences on behavior -- with an effective means of improving intergroup relations at a time when the world is witnessing widespread intergroup hatred and strife. This volume provides an overview of this rapidly progressing area of investigation – its origins and early work, its current status and recent developments, along with criticisms of this work and suggestions for future directions. It covers a range of research findings involving contact between groups drawn from the authors’ extensive meta-analysis of 515 published studies on intergroup contact. This meta-analysis, together with the authors’ renowned research on intergroup contact, provides a solid foundation and broad overview of the field, to which have been added discussions of research extensions and emerging directions. When Groups Meet is a rich, comprehensive overview of classic and contemporary work on intergroup contact, and provides insights into where this work is headed in the future. For research specialists, this volume not only serves as a sourcebook for research and theory on intergroup contact, it also provides the entire 515-item bibliography from the meta-analysis. The clear structure and accessible writing style will also appeal to advanced undergraduate and graduate students in psychology and other social sciences.
Download or read book Communities in Action written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fortune 500 corporations are challenged by the intercultural leadership deficit that extends to governmental and nonprofit organizations. The book presents the argument for intercultural competent Team leadership among organizations for managing diverse workforce for efficiency and productivity. The nonprofit sector, for example, has a leadership deficit gap over the next decades—just like the Fortune corporations are facing the shortage of managers required to provide the desired intercultural competent management in the global marketplace. Trading across the borders demands acculturated management dynamics than the world is accustomed, after transcendence from the industrial revolution. The business world and service organizations, including governmental ones, are challenged by intercultural values required locally and abroad to maintain a successful Team leadership in global organizational management. The solution involves global standard management operation by trained diversity Team leadership across the sectors to harmonize workplaces, as the world has changed to diversity world of inclusion. Industries rely on efficient management characterized by diverse cultures. The deficit gap has created a dent in profit and quality services. The effect can lead to discrimination and racism that can negatively affect the workforce environment as a cross-section of the workforce feels discriminated against, owing to conscious and unconscious bias treatment. Industries need to rethink the strategies for diversity inclusion by appropriate training of managers locally and globally for the delivery of the desired services. Team leadership deficits need attention among organizations in globalization. The current public outcry about the deaths of citizens and the recent Starbuck Coffee shop's unconscious treatment of a black man is the US, was a reawakening call for re-engagement of the dialogue about diversity inclusion as a challenge to public services, including governmental, non-governmental, and international organizations. The incidents show the deficit of diversity inclusion and affirmative action synergism and need education in the learning environment, including workplaces. The education of leaders about the diversity population is advocated in the book.

With implications for helping professionals, educators, community organizers, activists and others committed to social change, Consciousness-in-Action offers an integral view of well-being and development in the context of institutional and internalized oppression.

Download or read book Unequal Treatment written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009-02-06 with total page 781 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Racial and ethnic disparities in health care are known to reflect access to care and other issues that arise from differing socioeconomic conditions. There is, however, increasing evidence that even after such differences are accounted for, race and ethnicity remain significant predictors of the quality of health care received. In Unequal Treatment, a panel of experts documents this evidence and explores how persons of color experience the health care environment. The book examines how disparities in treatment may arise in health care systems and looks at aspects of the clinical encounter that may contribute to such disparities. Patients' and providers' attitudes, expectations, and behavior are analyzed. How to intervene? Unequal Treatment offers recommendations for improvements in medical care financing, allocation of care, availability of language translation, community-based care, and other arenas. The committee highlights the potential of cross-cultural education to improve provider-patient communication and offers a detailed look at how to integrate cross-cultural learning within the health professions. The book concludes with recommendations for data collection and research initiatives. Unequal Treatment will be vitally important to health care policymakers, administrators, providers, educators, and students as well as advocates for people of color.
