The Person in Psychology and Christianity by Marjorie Lindner Gunnoe
ISBN: 9780830828739
Publication Date: 2022-04-26
Integral to a Christian worldview and to psychology are foundational questions about personhood: What characteristics are essential? What is our purpose? Do we naturally incline toward good or bad? Are we accountable for self and responsible for others? In The Person in Psychology and Christianity, developmental psychologist Marjorie Gunnoe demonstrates how the integration of theological and psychological perspectives offers a more comprehensive understanding of personhood than either approach alone. Gunnoe opens with a brief summary of biblical and theological perspectives on four organizing themes (human essence, purpose, moral tendency, and accountability). She then examines the intersection of this faith-based depiction with five theories of social development proposed by- Erik Erikson; John Bowlby; B. F. Skinner; Albert Bandura; Evolutionary Psychology. For each, Gunnoe includes a biography, a summary of the theorist's broad perspective on personhood, and an analysis of the theorist's stance on the four specific themes. This book is written for a general audience and suitable for undergraduate and graduate instruction.

Advances in Psychology Research. Volume 145 by Alexandra M. Columbus (Editor)
ISBN: 9781536197792
Publication Date: 2021-05-27
This book includes eight chapters that detail recent advancements in psychology research. Chapter One aims to discuss the general identity concept and the specific concept of working identity through the lens of the tradition of the social psychology field and analyzes the limits and possibilities of conception constructions of these concepts in contemporary times, and also proposes portraits of the working identity constructions in the contemporary world. Chapter Two discusses the development of post-traumatic stress disorder following first-episode psychosis and involuntary hospitalization. Chapter Three explores the comorbidity of borderline personality disorder (BPD) and substance use disorders (SUD), identifying their epidemiological data and clarifying the functioning of borderline individuals, including their tendency to use substances. Chapter Four describes a type of cognitive behavioral therapy that is adapted to psychosis for treatment of schizophrenia. Chapter Five describes a group of patients with acute psychosis and their evolution over five years. Chapter Six provides an overview of jealousy as a function of Davis' sexual property proposition, framed using Lewin's Field Theory. Chapter Seven aims to explore the frequency and narrative of positive, neutral and negative perceptions of the accessibility, acceptability, and adequacy of the International Classification of Diseases 11th Revision depressive episode from the perspective of both those experiencing it and their primary relative caregivers. Lastly, Chapter Eight illustrates the discipline of social psychology through examples in the field of social influence, social norms and social representations.
Friendship in Cultural and Personality Psychology: International Perspectives by Tobias Altmann (Editor)
ISBN: 9781536199420
Publication Date: 2021-08-05
Today's world is being shaped by migration and globalization at ever increasing rates. As these forces spread, more and more people with different cultural backgrounds and different personalities come into contact and interact with each other. Not only does this phenomenon pertain to how we work and do business together, but it also applies to the people we spend our leisure time with and trust with our private thoughts and feelings: our friends. Insights from cultural and personality psychology into friendship processes are therefore key to understanding and facilitating friendship processes in these current times of diversified multiculturality and accentuated individuality. The present book presents a selection of current international theoretical perspectives and new empirical insights from scholars in cultural and personality psychology on friendship. Apart from chapters that are primarily from cultural psychology or primarily from personality psychology, there are chapters that apply both perspectives simultaneously as well as two explicitly integrative chapters that integrate the book's chapters into an overarching theoretical framework. The forty authors of the twenty-four chapters in this book come from twenty-nine locations in fifteen countries from around the world. The present book is therefore a paragon of internationality and diversity in and of itself and may be a stepping stone to future integrative research projects on the phenomenon that we refer to as "friendship" so collectively but that we experience so differently.
The Psychology of Fake News by Rainer Greifeneder (Editor); Mariela Jaffe (Editor); Eryn Newman (Editor); Norbert Schwarz (Editor)
ISBN: 9780367271817
Publication Date: 2020-09-25
This volume examines the phenomenon of fake news by bringing together leading experts from different fields within psychology and related areas, and explores what has become a prominent feature of public discourse since the first Brexit referendum and the 2016 US election campaign. Dealing with misinformation is important in many areas of daily life, including politics, the marketplace, health communication, journalism, education, and science. In a general climate where facts and misinformation blur, and are intentionally blurred, this book asks what determines whether people accept and share (mis)information, and what can be done to counter misinformation? All three of these aspects need to be understood in the context of online social networks, which have fundamentally changed the way information is produced, consumed, and transmitted. The contributions within this volume summarize the most up-to-date empirical findings, theories, and applications and discuss cutting-edge ideas and future directions of interventions to counter fake news. Also providing guidance on how to handle misinformation in an age of “alternative facts”, this is a fascinating and vital reading for students and academics in psychology, communication, and political science and for professionals including policy makers and journalists.
