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 Household Waste in Social Perspective Values
Book SynopsisThe principal barrier to the introduction of more sustainable disposal methods has previously been thought to be the lack of both available knowledge and an awareness of the benefits and ease of these systems. Illustrated by an in-depth analysis of waste reduction, reuse and recycling behaviour in Exeter, Devon, this volume questions these assumptions. It not only provides a fresh examination of the previous (mainly US-focused) research into the underlying determinants of waste management behaviour from a geographical perspective, but also develops a new theoretical model based on the Theory of Reasoned Action. Linking three broad categories: environmental values, situational characteristics and psychological factors, the book provides a timely evaluation of research on household waste management, develops an original analytical model and demonstrates the utility and importance of focusing on individual attitudes.Trade Review’This book is essential reading for anyone involved in or interested about local sustainability, particularly the management of municipal solid waste. It comprises a thorough exploration of how people make choices in their use of the environment, and breaks new ground in our understanding of environmental citizenship. It provides new insights into how people might be encouraged to do their bit to make their households and communities more sustainable places.’ Professor Paul Selman, University of Gloucestershire, UKTable of ContentsContents: Introduction: the waste problem in social perspective; The social-psychological perspective I: environmental values and attitudes; The social - psychological perspective II: structure and situation; The social-psychological perspective III: psychological influences; Social psychological models of waste behaviour: conceptualizing action; The Exeter study I: data collection and description; The Exeter study II: multivariate analyses; A framework for advancing theory and policy?; Conclusion: household waste in social perspective; Bibliography.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Individual and Structural Determinants of
Book SynopsisDuring recent years, there has been a growing awareness that a better understanding of human activities and the behavioural components of environmental problems is needed. This volume brings together psychologists, philosophers, sociologists, historians of technology and economics, and management experts to identify and examine the rules and motives that govern the environmental behaviour of individuals, households, organizations and society as a whole. Illustrated with case studies from Scandinavia, it shows how behaviours with negative or positive environmental effects are often performed without such consequences in mind. The book discusses how change towards positive environmental behaviour often conflicts with deep-rooted habits as well as exploring the importance for environmental practice of different everyday contexts. By presenting this multi-disciplinary analysis, the volume provides a comprehensive understanding of how behavioural change in relation to the environment can Trade Review'This book brings together recent research from Sweden relevant to promoting pro-environmental behavior. It offers valuable insights about tools for change at all levels of social action from the individual to the nation-state and makes some significant research available for the first time in the English-language literature.' Paul C. Stern, Director, Committee on the Human Dimensions of Global Change, U.S. National Research Council, USA 'The contributions to this unique multidisciplinary volume clarify how environmentally relevant behaviors - from the individual to the corporate level - are embedded in complex social, cultural and technological systems, making it difficult to modify them via simplistic strategies such as information campaigns requesting voluntary compliance. In the process they offer valuable insights for the development of more effective policies for promoting ecologically sustainable behaviors.' Professor Riley E. Dunlap, Ã…bo Akademi University, Finland 'Anders Biel, Bengt Hansson, and Mona Martensson bring together different perspectives on the "determinants of environmental practice" ... their volume will stimulate the ongoing discussion of the driving forces and the barriers of environmentally responsible behaviour.' Professor Andreas Diekmann, ETH Zurich, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology 'A distinguishing feature of this book is that it adopts a truly multi-disciplinary perspective on environmental problems and behavioural change...Thereby, this book brings forth the importance of attending to environmental behaviour at different levels in society: individual or household, organizational and societal.' International Journal of Environment and Pollution '...this book makes clear the development of potential solutions requires an understanding of the individual and structural determinants of environmental practice.'
