Taylor & Francis Ltd Constructing Measures
Book SynopsisConstructing Measures introduces a way to understand the advantages and disadvantages of measurement instruments. It explains the ways to use such instruments, and how to apply these methods to develop new instruments or adapt old ones, based on item response modeling and construct references. Now in its second edition, this book focuses on the steps taken while constructing an instrument, and breaks down the building blocks that make up an instrumentthe construct map, the design plan for the items, the outcome space, and the statistical measurement model. The material covers a variety of item formats, including multiple-choice, open-ended, and performance items, projects, portfolios, Likert and Guttman items, behavioral observations, and interview protocols. Each chapter includes an overview of the key concepts, related resources for further investigation, and exercises and activities. A variety of examples from the behavioral and social sciences and educationincludTrade Review"I think it would be hard to overstate the importance of Mark Wilson’s Constructing Measures for researchers and practitioners engaged in the construction and validation of measures of human properties. This volume provides usable, concrete guidance for constructing instruments including but not limited to educational tests, survey-based measures, and psychological assessments, and is particularly remarkable for its comprehensive treatment of the entire (iterative) process of instrument design, including construct definition, item writing and vetting, and quality control via thoughtfully chosen psychometric models (in particular, the Rasch model and its extensions). Further, it is written in an accessible style and would be a great entry point for non-specialists, but also provides sufficient rigor for those who wish to more deeply understand both the mathematical and conceptual foundations of measurement."Andrew Maul, Associate Professor of Education, UC Santa Barbara"Professor Wilson is one of the world's outstanding leaders in measurement. I have used the first edition of his book in all of my graduate courses on measurement. His book takes the complex process of constructing measures, and breaks it into four building blocks. These building blocks can be used by anyone who seeks to create useful and defensible measures in the human sciences. The new edition promises to introduce a new generation of students and researchers to the essential aspects of constructing measures."George Engelhard, Professor of Educational Measurement and Policy, The University of Georgia "This volume is an excellent and important update to the original Constructing Measures. Broadly applicable to educational measurement and assessment, it should be in every university library collection. Faculty and students will find this volume helpful for many courses."Kathleen Scalise, Professor at the University of Oregon (Education Studies and School Psychology)"Twenty years ago, the first edition of this book opened for me the door to the magic world of measurement. In this second edition, Mark unpacks complex and abstract measurement concepts into easy-to-follow building blocks, grounded in real-world examples. This book is an ideal choice for instructors who are about to teach an introductory course in measurement and for students eager to foray into the measurement world."

Taylor & Francis Statistical Power Analysis
Book SynopsisStatistical Power Analysis explains the key concepts in statistical power analysis and illustrates their application in both tests of traditional null hypotheses (that treatments or interventions have no effect in the population) and in tests of the minimum-effect hypotheses (that the population effects of treatments or interventions are so small that they can be safely treated as unimportant). It provides readers with the tools to understand and perform power analyses for virtually all the statistical methods used in the social and behavioral sciences.Brett Myors and Kevin Murphy apply the latest approaches of power analysis to both null hypothesis and minimum-effect testing using the same basic unified model. This book starts with a review of the key concepts that underly statistical power. It goes on to show how to perform and interpret power analyses, and the ways to use them to diagnose and plan research. We discuss the uses of power analysis in correlation and Table of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Psychology of Collective Narcissism
Book SynopsisThe Psychology of Collective Narcissism is a ground-breaking text that presents a new theory of collective narcissism, a belief that exaggerated greatness of one's own group should be but is not sufficiently appreciated by others.The book presents this concept against the background of social identity theory and research. It explores antecedent as well as social and political consequences of collective narcissism. The author discusses how this burgeoning theory and research can help to elucidate a wide range of psychological dynamics involved in pressing societal issues, such as the declining appeal of democracy, increasing populism, decreasing social solidarity, increasing societal polarization and prejudice, intergroup hostility and political violence, social inequality, and fake news and belief in conspiracy theories. Also referring to societal problems exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, this highly topical work explores socially shared beliefs as risk factors Table of ContentsAcknowledgementsIntroduction: Psychology of collective narcissism How does narcissism become collective? ‘Dark side of ingroup love’: Collective narcissism and ingroup identification National narcissism, nationalism, and patriotism Collective narcissism, intergroup threat, and intergroup hate Collective narcissism and prejudice: Politics of hate Collective narcissism and social exclusion Collective narcissism of populism ‘Revolutionaries in reverse’: Collective narcissism and political orientation Collective narcissism and pursuit of equality ‘To the point of irrationality’: Collective narcissism and conspiracy theories

Taylor & Francis Ltd Recognising and Responding to Animal Emotion in a
Book SynopsisHow is it that depending on the setting, the same cat can be perceived as a homeless annoyance, a potential research subject or a thinking and feeling family member? The answer is bound up in our perception of non-human animals' capacity to experience emotions, and this book draws on contemporary evidence-based research, observations, interviews and anecdotal case scenarios to explore the growing knowledge base around animal emotion. Acknowledging that animals can experience feelings directly affects the way that they are perceived and treated in many settings, and the author explores the implications when humans apply or ignore this knowledge selectively between species and within species. This information is presented within the unique context of a proposed hierarchy of perceived non-human animals'' emotional abilities (often based on human interpretation of the animal's emotional capacity), with examples of how this manifests at an emotional, spiritual and moral level.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Singular Selves
Book SynopsisThis book examines, for perhaps the first time, singlehood at the intersections of race, media, language, culture, literature, space, health, and life satisfaction. It adopts an interdisciplinary approach, borrowing from sociology, literary studies, medical humanities, race studies, linguistics, demographic studies, and critical geography to understand singlehood in the world today.This collection of essays aims to establish the discipline of Singles Studies, finding new ways of examining it from various disciplinary and cultural perspectives. It begins with laying the field and then moves on to critically look at how race has shaped the way we understand singlehood in the West and how class, age, gender, privilege, and the media play a role in shaping singlehood. It argues for a need for increased interdisciplinarity within the field, for example, analyzing singlehood from the perspective of medical humanities. The volume also explores the role workplace, living arrangementsTrade Review“Singular Selves, crucially underscoring that singleness is a viable way of being which deserves further scholarly attention, is a timely, vibrant, and politically engaged collection that promises to make a vital contribution to the growing interdisciplinary field of Singles Studies.”Anthea Taylor, Associate Professor, Gender and Cultural Studies, The University of Sydney, Australia“I am very excited to see this volume come to life documenting such an important conference and representing so many different perspectives on singlehood. My hope is this book will stimulate the increasing research interest that the study of singlehood deserves.”Geoff Macdonald, PhD, Professor of Psychology at the University of Toronto, Canada“In this ground-breaking collection of essays, Ketaki Chowkhani and Craig Wynne provide a foundation for Singles Studies and a roadmap for future analysis. With the increasing number of single people around the world, this book offers a fascinating, timely, and interdisciplinary look at how singlehood is viewed in a variety of contexts.

Taylor & Francis The New Critical Thinking
This book aims to improve real-world critical thinking.Traditional critical thinking texts neglect two crucial facts. First, as psychologists have shown, many of our mistakes are caused not by faulty formal reasoning but because we bypass it in favor of intuitive, often unreliable heuristics. Second, good critical thinking requires not only the proper assessment of inference but also of our premises: the evaluation of information sources is of fundamental importance, especially in this internet era of fake news and politicized science.This highly innovative text is psychologically informed, both in its diagnosis of inferential errors and in teaching students how to watch out for, and circumnavigate, their natural intellectual blind spots. It also incorporates insights from epistemology and philosophy of science to formulate best practices for assessing information sources on the internet and other media. The result is a practical, hands-on primer for real-world critica

Taylor & Francis Phenomenology of Broken Habits
Book SynopsisThis volume explores the phenomenology of broken habits and their affective, social, and involuntary dimensions. It shows how disruptive experiences impact self-understanding and social embeddedness.The chapters in this volume investigate the epistemic and existential relevance of breakdown of habits and the corresponding kinds of self-understanding available to the agent. The first part focuses on the double-sidedness of habitual life. On the one hand, habits allow us to arrange and navigate in a familiar home world; on the other hand, habits can take hold of us in such a way that we lose our sense of autonomy. The contributors argue that habitual agency is structurally carried by a dynamic that entails both freedom and necessity. As habits enable us to inhabit and thus acquire a world, they also affectively provide a texture and a background for our feeling at home in the world. The chapters in Part 2 focus on the breakdowns of our habitual social and technological life forms and the phenomenology of their affective texture. History and habitual learning are sedimented in our body memory and in our language, and these sedimented layers are partly out of our direct control. Part 3 focuses on the structural openness of habits in relating to oneâs past and oneâs traumatic experiences. Part 4 reflects on the ways in which we might become aware of and thus transform or appropriate our culturally given habits.Phenomenology of Broken Habits will appeal to researchers and advanced students working in phenomenology, philosophy of mind, and philosophy of psychology.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Occupational Therapy for Children with DME or
Book SynopsisChildren with high learning potential or giftedness have remarkable potential. Despite this, these children can struggle to participate in everyday life because of a range of needs that are sometimes misunderstood, overlooked or not adequately addressed, leading to underachievement and, in turn, low self-esteem. Needs that, in many cases, paediatric occupational therapists are best suited to address.The practical resource offered in the book, the DME-C approach, is a tried-and-tested approach to help children who have challenges relating to their high learning potential, as well as sensory processing differences, unhelpful thought patterns and self-regulation. It draws on the heart of occupational therapy that considers the whole profile of the child, actively caters to the unique profiles of children with dual or multiple exceptionality (DME) or twice exceptionality (2e), and guides therapists towards therapy provision that is strengths-based and achieves favourable outcomesTrade Review"Mariza Ferreira and Rebecca Howell have provided a masterclass in inclusive practice for occupational therapists. Their holistic DME-C approach is endorsed by families for its life-changing impact, particularly for children with ‘spiky profiles’ where it can be difficult to determine the most effective therapeutic interventions. Radiating the spirit of occupational therapy, this book moves beyond labels to focus on practical solutions, such as the Ten Golden Nuggets, helping therapists to identify and support children with DME as a routine part of their professional practice. This book is a must-read for every occupational therapist." - Professor Adam Boddison OBE, Co-author of The School Handbook for DME"An essential handbook for occupational therapists working with or interested in working with children who demonstrate characteristics of DME/2e! Written collaboratively by expert DME/2e practitioners, this comprehensive book guides the therapist through clearly structured chapters with detailed information on the identification of DME/2e with easy to use checklists, and tried and tested intervention techniques. Utilising the 10 Golden Nuggets with the 4 Essential Components of the DME-C therapy approach provides the therapist with skills to deliver holistic therapy that embraces the child as an equal partner in the process. I wish this book had been published before I retired!" - Sue Davis, Retired Independent Paediatric Occupational Therapist"This is a breakthrough book which offers a practical framework and simple steps to both identify Dual and Multiple Exceptionality and to supplement current professional OT practice to address appropriately the specific issues these children and young people face. Not only that, but I believe that every professional across the practice spectrum, parent/carer and teacher should be aware of the approach outlined in this book. Used in the right way, it could have a major impact on issues ranging from school phobia to behavioural issues at home or in the classroom; mental health challenges to issues related to underachievement and beyond." - Denise Yates, Author of Parenting Dual Exceptional Children and co author of The School Handbook for Dual and Multiple ExceptionalityTable of ContentsForeword1.

As someone who has had OCD in the past, The Waves, was sensitive, engaging and beautifully illustrated to try and help others understand the Girl’s internal world. It captures the feeling of being trapped by OCD so very well, and the way it can distance you socially from those around you. It also helps explain to other children why a child might behave in a certain way. But the story is also one of hope, how to help break the cycle of negative and magical thinking so often associated with OCD. This would be a wonderful book to be used in a range of places, from the home to school to therapy offices. I will start by buying it for myself and my own children." – Sarah Johnson, Director, Phoenix Education Consultancy "I loved this book! It was insightful, well-illustrated and had engaging verses. The subject was handled sensitively, but directly which is a strength. It is validating to read and the narrative use of waves to illustrate fears and calm was excellent. I liked the co-regulation that occurred between the child and animal-helper, who guided her through her experiences of OCD and intrusive thoughts. The illustrations are beautiful and bring the story together – lovely images to get lost in. I have not read any other books that write about OCD in this way, and it certainly intrigued me. I can imagine this book being used by parents, schools and therapists." – Kerry Murphy, author and lecturer in early years and SEND, Goldsmiths University "The Waves reminds us of the importance of warmth, connection and flow when suffering difficulties. Weaving together a sensitive story with beautiful images, The Waves shows us how to navigate the big waves of thoughts and feelings." – Molly Wolfe, Art Psychotherapist, Sandplay Specialist "Learning to be calm and ‘in the moment’ when experiencing difficult feelings such as loneliness, sadness, worry or fear is a really important core life skill that helps us cope with everyday ups and downs as well as with more stressful situations.

The book is ideTrade Review“This landmark book establishes positive health science as a new field. The field is concerned with promoting sustainable, positive, healthy lifestyles. This handbook is written by a team of international experts who integrate theory, research, and practices from lifestyle medicine and positive psychology. It will be of interest to students, academics, and practitioners in medicine, nursing, psychology, psychotherapy, coaching, education, and allied healthcare professions.”Alan Carr, PhDProfessor of Clinical Psychology, University College Dublin, IrelandAuthor of “Positive psychology: The Science of Wellbeing and Human Strengths.”This is a truly informative, remarkable book written by experts from throughout the world. It was very heartening to read chapters that reflected and validated my own journey as a clinical psychologist that began with a focus on pathology and “deficits” and moved to a strength-based approach—an approach that highlights each individual’s passions, interests. and “islands of competence,” and prioritizes the nurturing of resilience and healthy lifestyle choices as a major task in our lives. I was impressed by many, many features of this book, including the clarity with which the concepts of lifestyle medicine, positive psychology, and positive health are described and integrated, the comprehensiveness with which different themes related to these concepts are detailed, and, very importantly, the discussion of a variety of realistic interventions to promote our physical and emotional well-being. There are some books that are written primarily for the professional/scientific community, while others for the lay public. This book will certainly have an enthusiastic audience of professionals from many different disciplines, both clinicians and researchers. Given its subject matter and readability I also believe it will garner a great deal of interest from the lay public. It will become a major resource, to be read and re-read by a diverse audience, all of whom appreciate the importance of understanding and implementing practices related to a positive health model. I recommend this book very highly.Robert Brooks, Ph.D., Faculty, Harvard Medical School (part-time)Co-author: The Power of Resilience: Achieving Balance, Confidence, and Personal Strength in Your Life; Co-author: Reflections on Mortality: Insights into Meaningful Living.I love this book so much I want to embrace it and kiss it; I want to send it to everyone I know, as well as everyone I don’t know, which means the entire population of our precious planet; I want to shout from the rooftops, “At last, a book that gets it!

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Psychology of Memory
Book SynopsisHow can I improve my memory? Do my emotions affect my memories? How will my memory change as I get older?The Psychology of Memory provides a unique insight into a fundamental part of being human, debunking many common misconceptions about what memory is, how memory works, and the accuracy of our memories. It explores the complexity of human memory, looking at how we remember different types of information and the impact of issues like ageing and emotion on how we create, store, and retrieve memories. Extremes of memory from so-called photographic memory to dementia are discussed, along with ways our memory can impact our everyday lives in educational and legal settings.Treating memory as malleable, dynamic, and active, The Psychology of Memory teaches us about how our individual memories function, and how we can harness this to see memory in a new way; to use the past, our experiences and information, in service of the present and future.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Engaged Decision Making
Book SynopsisIn the knowledge economy, teams play a central role in decisions made within and across organisations. The reason why teams with diverse compositions are often used is arguably their ability to develop solutions that none of their members could have produced alone. Systems design, strategy and policy development, risk management, and innovation are just a few of the areas that call for team decisions. Unfortunately, a considerable number of behavioural research studies show that teamworkis fraught with difficulties. Teams often underestimate their fallibility, struggle with conflict, or are unable to share and integrate critical information effectively. Indeed, the evidence shows that two out of three teams do not achieve their goals and half of organisational decisions many of which are team decisions fail.In this book, the authors draw from research in psychology, decision and systems sciences as well as their own research and consulting work that spans more than 20 years

Taylor & Francis Extended Consciousness and Predictive Processing
Book SynopsisIn this jointly authored book, Kirchhoff and Kiverstein defend the controversial thesis that phenomenal consciousness is realised by more than just the brain. They argue that the mechanisms and processes that realise phenomenal consciousness can at times extend across brain, body, and the social, material, and cultural world. Kirchhoff and Kiverstein offer a state-of-the-art tour of current arguments for and against extended consciousness. They aim to persuade you that it is possible to develop and defend the thesis of extended consciousness through the increasingly influential predictive processing theory developed in cognitive neuroscience. They show how predictive processing can be given a new reading as part of a third-wave account of the extended mind. The third-wave claims that the boundaries of mind are not fixed and stable but fragile and hard-won, and always open to negotiation. It calls into question any separation of the biological from the social and culturTable of ContentsIntroduction 1. The Extended Mind: Three Waves 2.

How do you build an outstanding team? (Spoiler: it's not just by putting the best people in a team.) The answer lies in the power of subliminal influence.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Evaluating What Works
Book SynopsisThose who work in allied health professions and education aim to make people's lives better. Often, however, it is hard to know how effective this work has been: would change have occurred if there was no intervention? Is it possible we are doing more harm than good? To answer these questions and develop a body of knowledge about what works, we need to evaluate interventions. Objective intervention research is vital to improve outcomes, but this is a complex area, where it is all too easy to misinterpret evidence. This book uses practical examples to increase awareness of the numerous sources of bias that can lead to mistaken conclusions when evaluating interventions. The focus is on quantitative research methods, and exploration of the reasons why those both receiving and implementing intervention behave in the ways they do. Evaluating What Works: Intuitive Guide to Intervention Research for Practitioners illustrates how different research designs can overcome these issuesTable of Contents1. Introduction 2. Why observational studies can be misleading 3. How to select an outcome measure 4. Improvement due to nonspecific effects of intervention 5.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Human Resource Management in Higher Education Institutions
Book SynopsisIn an era marked by increasing globalization, international competition, digitalization, and social and cultural changes, higher education institutions (HEIs) play a pivotal role in establishing the knowledge-based economy of each country, which is perceived as its soft power. The need to explore and highlight the specificity of human resource management (HRM) practices in higher education institutions has become urgent and evident. This book provides new theoretical and practical insights into HRM in HEIs. A profound analysis of the global literature clearly exposes that human resource practices are often applied in academia as single solutions rather than as a systematic approach to planning, attracting, motivating, developing, and retaining scientists. The global trends in academia, such as the need for branding and positioning in higher education ranking systems, growing retention and brain circulation between academia and business, diversity in academia, and the digitalization
