Taylor & Francis Ltd The Origins of Mathematical Knowledge in
Book SynopsisThis book examines the origins and development of children''s mathematical knowledge. It contrasts the widely held view that counting is the starting point for mathematical development with an alternative comparison-of-quantities position. According to the comparison-of-quantities position, the concept of number builds upon more basic concepts of equality, inequality, and less-than and greater-than relations, which derive from comparisons between unenumerated quantities such as lengths. The concept of number combines these basic comparative concepts with the concept of a unit of measure, which allows one quantity to be described as a multiple of another. Sophian examines these alternative accounts of children''s developing mathematical knowledge in the light of research: on children''s counting; on their reasoning about continuous quantities such as length and area; on the development of the concept of unit; on additive and multiplicative reasoning; and oTrade Review"Sophian presents a tautly reasoned and compelling challenge to schooling-as-usual, that is, to instruction that takes counting as the basis for teaching children arithmetic... She argues for highlighting the unit as the foundation of mathematics instruction [and] goes on to trace the implications of unit not only for instruction on conventional topics, such as rational number, multiplication, and division, but also for a wider mathematics education that knits number, measure, data, and geometry."—Richard LehrerVanderbilt University"Sophian does a masterful job of organizing and presenting one of the major success stories of developmental and educational research – understanding the developmental roots of mathematical competence.... This book will interest and benefit both those interested in understanding children's cognitive development and those interested in developing ways of promoting mathematical competence. Sophian's research has contributed greatly to our understanding of both aspects of mathematical development; her book provides a timely and accessible introduction to the state of the art in research on children's mathematical development."—Kevin MillerUniversity of Michigan"Sophian presents a tautly reasoned and compelling challenge to schooling-as-usual, that is, to instruction that takes counting as the basis for teaching children arithmetic...

Taylor & Francis Judgment and Decision Making at Work
Book SynopsisEmployees are constantly making decisions and judgments that have the potential to affect themselves, their families, their work organizations, and on some occasion even the broader societies in which they live. A few examples include: deciding which job applicant to hire, setting a production goal, judging oneâs level of job satisfaction, deciding to steal from the cash register, agreeing to help organize the companyâs holiday party, forecasting corporate tax rates two years later, deciding to report a coworker for sexual harassment, and predicting the level of risk inherent in a new business venture. In other words, a great many topics of interest to organizational researchers ultimately reduce to decisions made by employees.Yet, numerous entreaties notwithstanding, industrial and organizational psychologists typically have not incorporated a judgment and decision-making perspective in their research. The current book begins to remedy the situation by facilitating cross-pollination between the disciplines of organizational psychology and decision-making. The book describes both laboratory and more âœnaturalisticâ field research on judgment and decision-making, and applies it to core topics of interest to industrial and organizational psychologists: performance appraisal, employee selection, individual differences, goals, leadership, teams, and stress, among others. The book also suggests ways in which industrial and organizational psychology research can benefit the discipline of judgment and decision-making. The authors of the chapters in this book conduct research at the intersection of organizational psychology and decision-making, and consequently are uniquely positioned to bridging the divide between the two disciplines.Trade Review"Highhouse (Bowling Green State Univ.), Dalal (George Mason Univ.), and Salas (Univ. of Central Florida) have done an exceptional job of providing expertly presented perspectives on the broad field of judgment and decision making as applied to the workplace. The outstanding set of well-written, cutting-edge, scholarly chapters provide a great description of, and also push forward, the science of judgment and decision making. The editors and chapter authors provide research-based perspectives relying on scholarly research from a wide variety of theoretical foundations, models, and literatures. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduate through research collections. -- J J Bailey, University of Idaho, CHOICE "There are not many areas in organizational psychology on which there is a large body of basic psychological research that is directly applicable to various organizational problems. Judgment and decision making is one of those areas. The editors of this volume have assembled an excellent set of authors that provide an excellent overview of the wide variety of applied problems that are informed by basic research on judgment and decision making." -- Neal Schmitt, Michigan State University"A stimulating collection of essays by both established and emerging scholars, putting the central relevance of JDM research to IO Psychology on a solid and expanding foundation" -- Terry Connolly, Eller Professor of Management and Organizations, University of Arizona.

Taylor & Francis Introductory Statistics A Conceptual Approach
Book SynopsisThis comprehensive and uniquely organized text is aimed at undergraduate and graduate level statistics courses in education, psychology, and other social sciences. A conceptual approach, built around common issues and problems rather than statistical techniques, allows students to understand the conceptual nature of statistical procedures and to focus more on cases and examples of analysis. Wherever possible, presentations contain explanations of the underlying reasons behind a technique. Importantly, this is one of the first statistics texts in the social sciences using R as the principal statistical package. Key features include the following. Conceptual Focus â The focus throughout is more on conceptual understanding and attainment of statistical literacy and thinking than on learning a set of tools and procedures. Problems and Cases â Chapters and sections open with examples of situations related to the fTable of Contents1. Introduction and Background II. Descriptive Statistics 2.

Taylor & Francis Ltd (Sales) The Social Psychology of Collective Action
Book SynopsisIn recent years there has been a growth of single-issue campaigns in western democracies and a proliferation of groups attempting to exert political influence and achieve social change. In this context, it is important to consider why individuals do or don''t get involved in collective action, for example in the trade union movement and the women''s movement.Social psychologists have an important contribution to make in addressing this question. The social psychological approach directly concerns the relationship between the individual and society and a number of theories have been developed in the field, particularly by contemporary European researchers. Yet, surprisingly, there has never been, until now, a concerted attempt to bring these various strands of research together in a coherent, detailed presentation of the social psychological approach to collective action.The authors of The Social Psychology of Collective Action review and integrate a number of theories Trade Review'This volume provides the reader with a useful review of previous psychological work on motivation to activism as well as an interesting example of a multimethodological original research project. their study gives us not only a better understanding of the motivations of activists and non-activists, it can also serve as a model for similarly ambitious projects with other populations.' - David A. Houston, University of MemphisTable of ContentsIntroduction. Social Psychological Approaches to Collective Action. Social Beliefs and Participation: Exploring Associations.
