Book SynopsisThis textbook will familiarize readers with some of the most pressing solidarity and social justice issues in contemporary societies. Ongoing and emerging inequalities along the lines of gender, age, socio-economic status, ethnic background, and sexual orientation challenge the solidarity underlying societies, resulting in complex questions of social justice. Moreover, several global challenges, such as digitalization, climate change, and the COVID-19 pandemic challenge solidarity and social justice in new ways. How do societies respond to these enduring, growing or changing inequalities? Do these challenges lead to an expansion or an erosion of solidarity, in an 'us versus them' rhetoric? And to what extent do societies differ in their social justice values and hence the acceptance of social inequality? Taking a sociological, psychological, and political philosophical approach to these topics, this book offers state-of-the art theoretical and empirical contributions from globally-recognized scholars in sociology, psychology, and political philosophy, providing a unique interdisciplinary approach to understanding solidarity and social justice in response to social inequalities in contemporary European societies.Table of ContentsSection I Introduction. 1 Why Solidarity and Social Justice Still Matter Today.

Book SynopsisThis book is an up-to-date compendium of knowledge on the secret language of close relationships, namely nonverbal routes of communication. In close relationships, as everyone learns sooner or later, the usefulness of words can be somewhat limited, because people (a) mean different things by the same words, (b) mean the same thing by different words, (c) sometimes find it hard to express their feelings in words, and (d) lie. Nonverbal signals therefore often provide the best means of communication. The book points out how decoding (interpreting) nonverbal signals is a major key to success, because often what people say wholly belies how they feel—nonverbal signals reveal their true feelings rather than what they want other people to think their feelings are. This book helps decode those secret signals. The book is written by the leading worldwide experts in the field of nonverbal communication to ensure accuracy, comprehensiveness, and timeliness.Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisDie Autoren erörtern in diesem essential die wesentlichen Punkte für das Verständnis und die Organisation von Freiwilligenarbeit. Sie beschäftigen sich mit den folgenden Fragen: Wie können wir freiwillige Arbeit verstehen? Wie wesentlich ist es für diese Art von Arbeit, dass sie unbezahlt bleibt und von sogenannten Laien mit besonderer Motivlage ausgeführt wird? Was folgt daraus für das Zusammenspiel von Freiwilligenarbeit und der professionalisierten, bezahlten Erwerbsarbeit? Diese Fragen werden zunehmend gestellt, denn ohne die unbezahlten Tätigkeiten von Freiwilligen kann kein derzeitiges Gemeinwesen bestehen.Table of ContentsEine Begriffserklärung.- Die Verbreitung von Freiwilligenarbeit: Statistiken.- Freiwillige Arbeit als Tätigkeit.- Motivation zur Freiwilligenarbeit.- Gestaltung von Freiwilligenarbeit.- Freiwilligenarbeit als psychosoziale Ressource.- Ein Fazit zur Flüchtlingshilfe.

Book SynopsisDas Buch bietet einen umfassenden Überblick über die Mensch-Umwelt-Beziehungen und betrachtet sowohl Wohnen aus systemischer Sicht als auch die lebensraumbezogenen Wohnbedürfnisse.Je hektischer und instabiler der Alltag bzw. die Außenwelt, desto wichtiger wird ein Zuhause, das Regeneration erlaubt, das Sicherheit und Geborgenheit schenkt. Ein Zuhause, das nicht nur den individuellen Wohnwünschen und -anforderungen entspricht, sondern auch die (oft unbewussten) grundlegenden menschlichen Wohnbedürfnisse wie etwa nach Privatheit, sensorischer Wahrnehmung, Selbstbestimmung und Regulation, Aneignung, Ortsbindung, Entwicklung und Entfaltung (…) erfüllt.Davon ausgehend, dass jeder (natürliche und gebaute) Raum unser Empfinden, Denken, Verhalten und Zusammenleben beeinflusst, führt der Weg zu „Humanen Lebensräumen“ über die Betrachtung von Wohnung, Wohngebäude bzw. Wohnumfeld hinsichtlich der wechselseitigen Wirkung "Mensch – Raum" aber auch über die Bewusstseinsschärfung der Bewohner für die eigenen Wohnbedürfnisse und jene der Mitbewohnenden.Table of ContentsEinleitung.- Grundlagen und Zielsetzungen der Wohn- und Architekturpsychologie.- Begriffsbestimmung.- Mensch-Umwelt-Beziehungen.- Wohnbedürfnisse.- „Wohnen“ – eine systemische Betrachtung.- Fazit.- Homeoffice – Segen oder Belastung?.- Literatur- & Quellenverzeichnis

Book SynopsisIn the summer of 2018, the authors of the book stood in the Musée des Arts et Métiers in Paris. They marvelled at the Foucault pendulum, which made its circular movements on a long rope under the dome. Like Casaubon in Umberto Eco's book The Foucault Pendulum, the authors were amazed and wondered what could be at the ideal end of the thread pendulum. The fixed point that could give us support and security in an uncertain world and difficult times? What uncertainties, what times or even what threats are we actually talking about? Where can we find the fixed points, the safe spaces of our lives? This book deals with these and other questions. The authors found inspiration for the book in Umberto Eco. And so it is also a homage to Eco. Table of ContentsThe Foucault Pendulum and the Search for the Fixed Point.- Of Threats Great and Small - Memories.- Threats 2.0: Postfactual and Factual Narratives.- The Great Narratives Still Exist.- Shelters, Holding Places, and Other Psychological Peculiarities.- Of the Search for the Island.- Look Up Eco - A Virtual Conversation.

Book SynopsisDieses Buch gibt in fünf Themenfelder gegliedert einen Überblick über die Emotionsforschung in der kulturübergreifenden Psychologie. Es werden kulturelle Ähnlichkeiten und Unterschiede in verschiedenen Aspekten von Emotionen erörtert – vom emotionalen Ausdruck über die emotionale Anerkennung bis hin zur Emotionsregulation. Die Emotionsforschung aus der Perspektive der interkulturellen Psychologie ermöglicht den Leser:innen eine differenziertere Sicht: Es geht nicht nur um den Unterschied zwischen Individualismus und Kollektivismus, sondern auch darum, wie der breite Kontext viele psychologische Prozesse dazwischen beeinflusst, die wiederum die emotionale Verarbeitung und Reaktion steuern. Das Buch enthält einen systematischen Literaturüberblick auf der Grundlage maschinell generierter Inhalte. Fragen und zugehörige Schlüsselwörter wurden für die Maschine vorbereitet, die sie abgefragt, entdeckt, zusammengestellt und durch Clustering mit künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) strukturiert hat. Springer Nature hat in den letzten Jahren viel zu dem Thema in Zeitschriften veröffentlicht, so dass die Herausforderung für die Maschine darin bestand, die relevantesten Inhalte zu identifizieren und sie in einer strukturierten Weise zu präsentieren. Die automatisch generierten Literaturzusammenfassungen dienen Fachkräften aus den Bereichen Psychologie, Erziehung und Wirtschaft, aber auch Wissenschaftler:innen und Studierenden dazu, sich schnell einen Überblick über die aktuelle Entwicklung des Themas zu verschaffen. Sie sollen außerdem als Anregung und Impuls für aktuelle Forschungsfragen, für neue Strategien sowie für mögliche Lösungen in schwierigen Situationen nützlich sein.Table of ContentsKulturelle Ähnlichkeiten und Unterschiede im Gefühlsausdruck.- Emotionale Anerkennung in verschiedenen Kulturen.- Glück und Wohlbefinden auf der ganzen Welt.- Emotionsregulation in verschiedenen Kulturen.- Umgang mit Emotionsproblemen: wo sich klinische Psychologie und interkulturelle Psychologie treffen.

Book SynopsisDas Buch bietet neben aktuellem Grundwissen zum Thema Stalking konkrete Hilfestellung für Betroffene. Im ersten Teil gibt es einen Einblick in den neueren Stand der Forschung, unter Berücksichtigung der aktuellen Rechtsprechung. Dabei wird es kritisch zu einigen Aspekten der bisherigen Behandlung des Themas eingegangen, u.a. die häufig zitierten Tätertypologien betreffend. An deren Stelle treten zunehmend Ansätze zur Beschreibung von Täterpersönlichkeiten im Sinne eines Täter-Profiling. Als Sonderphänomen wird das sog. „Cyberstalking“ behandelt und von anderen Formen der Internetbelästigung abgegrenzt. Im zweiten Teil des Buches werden Hilfethemen angesprochen. Dabei geht es vor allem um Prävention, Kontrolle und Handlungsmöglichkeiten zur Reduzierung der Belastung im Einzelfall. Auch das Thema von Personen, die stalken (Täter) angesprochen und behandelt werden Aspekte der Beratung und Therapie behandelt. Im Anhang zum Buch findet sich ein screening-Fragebogen zur Selbst-Einschätzung des Gewaltrisikos für Stalking, sowie eine Liste von Beratungs- und Hilfeeinrichtungen in Deutschland.

Book SynopsisThe aim of this book is to elucidate the role of forests as part of a landscape in the life of people. Most landscapes today are cultural landscapes that are influenced by human activity and that in turn have a profound effect on our understanding of and identification with a place. The book proposes that a better understanding of the bond between people and forests as integrated part of a landscape may be helpful in landscape planning, and may contribute to the discussion of changes in forest cover which has been motivated by land use changes, rural development and the global climate debate. To this end, people’s perception of forest landscapes, the reasons for different perceptions, and future perspectives are discussed. Given the wide range of forest landscapes, and cultural perspectives which exist across the world, the book focuses on Europe as a test case to explore the various relationships between society, culture, forests and landscapes. It looks at historical evidence of the impacts of people on forests and vice versa, explores the current factors affecting people’s physical and emotional comfort in forest landscapes, and looks ahead to how changes in forest cover may alter the present relationships of people to forests. Drawing together a diverse literature and combining the expertise of natural and social scientists, this book will form a valuable reference for students and researchers working in the fields of landscape ecology and landscape architecture, geography, social science, environmental psychology or environmental history. It will also be of interest to researchers, government agencies and practitioners with an interest in issues such as sustainable forest management, sustainable tourism, reserve management, urban planning and environmental interpretation.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews:“The book is the exploration of the cultural, biological, spiritual, economic, and emotional components of the forested landscape of northern Europe from the earliest records of interactions between humans and forests to the present day. … This volume should certainly be considered as part of the literature of landscape ecology, as it considers throughout the interactions between humans, forests, and forested landscapes. … For those with a humanistic or philosophical bent, it is likely a worthwhile read … .” (Ralph E.
