    Book SynopsisScience, Pseudo-science, Non-sense, and Critical Thinking shines an unforgiving light on popular and lucrative miraculous' practices that promise to offer answers during times of trouble. Throughout the book, the authors unfold the fallacies underlying these practices, as well as consumers' need and desire to believe in them. Adopting a scientific approach, the book critically evaluates research into cold-reading practices, such as those that claim to be able to communicate with the afterlife or posess supernatural powers, before considering a range of pseudo-sciences including graphology and polygraph interrogation, exposing the pretensions of these practices in a clear and logical fashion. The book seeks to encourage critical thinking throughout, asking whether there is any scientific evidence to support these practitioners' abilities to supply us with reliable answers, and discussing the various factors that comprise the psychological mechanism of beliTrade Review"In our post-modern era in which the distinction between truth and fiction is increasingly blurred and practices offering quick solutions are more popular than ever, Science, Pseudo-science, Non-sense, and Critical Thinking is a must read. In accessible and often humorous language, Barr and Ben-Shakhar debunk practices based on mysticism and pseudoscience, offer illuminating insights into our beliefs, and demonstrate the promise of critical thinking. Reading this book was sheer pleasure. I will recommend it to all my students because critical thinking is important not just for science, it is important for our everyday life." - Ram Frost, Professor of Psychology, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, IsraelTable of ContentsPrefaceAcknowledgmentsIntroductionChapter OneYou Have Great Unfulfilled Potential: Cold (Psychic) ReadingWhat is Cold Reading?Tarot CardsCold Reading and Psychological ScienceHow does it Work?Why does it Work?How Much Does it Cost?BibliographyChapter Two"They Love you and you know that": AstrologyAn Overview of AstrologyAstrology and ScienceBibliographyChapter ThreeShow me your handwriting and I’ll tell you who you are: GraphologyScience and Pseudo-ScienceHistory of GraphologyThe Use of GraphologyIs Handwriting Truly a Mirror of our Personality?The Validity of GraphologyBibliographyChapter FourPinocchio’s Nose: The Truth behind the Lie-DetectorOops, an Innocent Man has been condemned to Life ImprisonmentLying, Honesty and the Desire to Tell them ApartThe Truth will out: A Brief History of the PolygraphThe Relevant/Irrelevant Question Test (R/I)The Control (Comparison) Question Test (CQT)The Direct Lie Test (DLT)The Concealed Information Test (CIT)The CQT versus the CIT – where is the Scientific Basis?Accuracy of the CQT versus the CITThe Use of the Polygraph in Screening and Classification ProcessesThe Use of the Integrity Test as an Alternative to the CQTBibliographyChapter Five"Since Man Cannot Live without Miracles, he will Provide Himself with Miracles of his Own Making": The belief in Practices based on Cold Reading, Mysticism, and Pseudo-ScienceThe Need to BelieveAbuse of the need to believePopular BeliefsBias in Human JudgmentThe Clients’ BeliefThe Burden of Doubt and IncertitudeThe Need to Remove Personal ResponsibilityThe Influence of the Barnum EffectBias for Positive Evidence Social and Cultural Influences (Conformity)Shifting the Burden of ProofThe Practitioners’ BeliefThe Confirmation BiasIllusory Validity BibliographyA Final Word

  • The Growth of Mind

    Taylor & Francis Ltd The Growth of Mind

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisThe Growth of Mind is the product of a series of ten lectures by Neville Symington. It offers an understanding of the mind and its capacity to discover truth, establishing this as the foundation stone for our judgment and critique of the human world. Although the book's field of exploration lies in psychological processes met in the consulting-room, grounded in the general principles of psycho-analysis, the book's mode of enquiry is to elucidate a knowledge of individual people.Exploring the mind's active role in understanding, the book suggests that the act of understanding has a transformative function, and that to be a person is to be a part of a community. It suggests that the super-ego is a sign of some undeveloped function within the personality. If the ego and all its functions are fully evolved, then the super-ego will only be minimally present in the personality. Symington posits that the unconscious represents an agglomerative mass in an undifTable of ContentsIntroduction: on overview1 The core of the personality2 The unformed ego3 Foundation for growth of mind 4 Consequences of mother’s contemplation5 Hypnotic power 6 Unfocussed stare 7 The knowledge of being 8 Creative intercourse between analyst and patient, between mother and child, between teacher and student 9 What is it that is unconscious?

In 2013, she was elected to the National Academy of Sciences, and, in 2011, to the British Academy.

    Book SynopsisThis innovative text sheds light on how people work -- why they sometimes function well and, at other times, behave in ways that are self-defeating or destructive. The author presents her groundbreaking research on adaptive and maladaptive cognitive-motivational patterns and shows:* How these patterns originate in people's self-theories* Their consequences for the person -- for achievement, social relationships, and emotional well-being* Their consequences for society, from issues of human potential to stereotyping and intergroup relations* The experiences that create themThis outstanding text is a must-read for researchers in social psychology, child development, and education, and is appropriate for both graduate and senior undergraduate students in these areas.Trade Review"Based on extensive research with children and young adults, this book examines adaptive and maladaptive cognitive-motivational patterns and shows how these patterns originate in people's self theories; their consequences for one's achievment, social relationships, and emotional well-being; thier consequences for society; and the experiences that create these cognitive-motivational patterns." -- Resources inEducation"What we have here is no ordinary scholarly psychology volume. Ever so rarely, we are offered a psychology book that is so beautifully written, lucidly organized, and elegant in its description of ideas... I see many uses for this wonderful volume. Instead of having to put together a rather large stack of reprints to introduce students to her groundbreaking work, I now can refer them to something far better -- the author's view of how her work has developed over the years." -- Journal of Socialand Clinical Psychology"[This book] describes pathbreaking research in a style that is accessible to many audiences. It calls into question some of the most widely-held beliefs . . . about effective practices for maximizing children's self-confidence and learning." -- Deborah Stipek, UCLA"The book is central to basic issues in social, personality, and developmental psychology. Indeed, it is like a guided tour through the scenic terrain of Carol's fascinating program of research. The writing is lively and engaging and the organization is unusually clear. The examples are well-chosen and intuitively compelling; they are easy to relate to our own lives and to the people that we know." -- Diane N. Ruble, New YorkUniversity"[This book] is simply among the best book in psychology I've read during the past year or two. It's superb. . . I could hardly put [it] down." -- Robert J.

Ruble, New York University"[T]his is an important book addressing fundamental problems of enduring interest. [W]e think Self-Theories should be read by anyone with a serious interest in children's motivation, academic achievement or social development." -- Human Development"This book does a great deal to undo the damage done by psychology books which have emphasised the importance of intelligence and of fixed stages which pupils and students cannot move out of, or work beyond... The contents of this delightful affirming book should be known to every teacher and every pupil, and most of all to every teacher trainer. -- David Turner, University of Glamorgan." -- Book ReviewTable of ContentsPreface.

  • On the SelfRegulation of Behavior

    Cambridge University Press On the SelfRegulation of Behavior

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis 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.Table of Contents1. Introduction and plan; 2. Principles of feedback control; 3. Discrepancy reducing feedback processes in behavior; 4. Discrepancy enlarging loops, and three further issues; 5. Goals and behavior; 6. Goals, hierarchicality, and behavior: further issues; 7. Public and private aspects of the self; 8. Control processes and affect; 9. Affect: issues and comparisons; 10. Expectancies and disengagement; 11. Disengagement: issues and comparisons; 12. Applications to problems in living; 13. Hierarchicality and problems in living; 14. Chaos and dynamic systems; 15. Catastrophe theory; 16. Further applications to problems in living; 17. Is behavior controlled or does it emerge?; 18. Goal engagement, life and death.

    Book SynopsisWhat is the self-concept and how does it develop? Do people in different cultures have sharply different concepts of self? Can we believe what our informants tell us on this point? What is known about the self-concepts of depressives? of schizophrenics? How does meditation affect the sense of self? Is there an inner 'self of selves' as James once suggested? These are, of course, hotly debated questions in the social sciences. In this book a prestigious group of psychologists, linguists, anthropologists and philosophers addresses these questions and presents some surprising answers. This is the third and last of the Emory Symposia organized around Ulric Neisser's cognitive theory of self-knowledge, it goes beyond The Perceived Self and The Remembering Self to deal with psychological and philosophical questions surrounding the self.Trade Review"Neisser and Jopling's edited volume collects an intelligent, sophisticated, and interdisciplinary set of essays on the self written by a distinguished group of psychologists, anthropologists, linguists, and philosophers....there is much here of interest to sociologists of the self.
