Dependent Data in Social Sciences Research: Forms, Issues, and Methods of Analysis
by Wolfgang Wiedermann Mark Stemmler Francis L. HuangThis book covers the following subjects: growth curve modeling, directional dependence, dyadic data modeling, item response modeling (IRT), and other methods for the analysis of dependent data (e.g., approaches for modeling cross-section dependence, multidimensional scaling techniques, and mixed models). It presents contributions on handling data in which the postulate of independence in the data matrix is violated. When this postulate is violated and when the methods assuming independence are still applied, the estimated parameters are likely to be biased, and statistical decisions are very likely to be incorrect. Problems associated with dependence in data have been known for a long time, and led to the development of tailored methods for the analysis of dependent data in various areas of statistical analysis. These include, for example, methods for the analysis of longitudinal data, corrections for dependency, and corrections for degrees of freedom. Researchers and graduate students in the social and behavioral sciences, education, econometrics, and medicine will find this up-to-date overview of modern statistical approaches for dealing with problems related to dependent data particularly useful.

Depression, Trauma und Ängste: In Management und Öffentlichkeit
by Markus J. Pausch Sven J. MattenDer von den Autoren verwendete Sammelbegriff „Stress-Spektrumstörung“ erläutert wesentliche ursächliche determinierende und aufrechterhaltende Faktoren, sowie Beschwerden von körperlichen und psychischen Überlastungsreaktionen. Es werden konkrete Handlungsempfehlungen für jene dargestellt, welche unter Beschwerden oder bereits psychischen Diagnosen leiden. Dies mit besonderem Fokus auf in der Öffentlichkeit stehenden Personen wie etwa Manager oder Vorstände. Ausgang für das Erklärungs-, Bedingungs-, Störungs- und Aufrechterhaltungsmodell sind hierbei zum einen phylogenetische Schemata von Menschen ganz allgemein, sowie individuelle biographiespezifische. Ergänzend zur Erläuterung der Störungsmodelle werden konkrete Hilfestellungen gegeben, seien es nun phylogenetisch-menschliche, oder individuell-biographische.
Depression, Trauma, and Anxiety: In Management and Public Affairs
by Markus J. Pausch Sven J. MattenThe collective term used by the authors, "stress spectrum disorder", explains the major causal factors that determine and maintain symptoms of physical and psychological overload. Specific recommendations are given for those who suffer from symptoms or have already been diagnosed with a psychological disorder. Special attention is given to people in the public eye, such as managers or executives. The explanatory, conditional, disorder and maintenance model is based on phylogenetic patterns of people in general as well as individual biography-specific patterns. In addition to the explanation of the disorder models, concrete assistance is provided, be it phylogenetic-human or individual-biographical.
Depressive Disorders: Integrated and Unified Psychotherapy Approaches
by Judy Z. KoenigsbergDepressive Disorders uses an integrative view to explore the etiology of depression, its development, and maintenance and highlights contemporary unified psychotherapy approaches. The text includes case examples that illustrate how to use integrated and unified psychotherapy approaches to help patients with depressive disorders. Dr. Koenigsberg demonstrates how research-based approaches may be used to treat individuals with different types of depressive disorders, such as major depressive disorder, persistent depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, cyclothymia, and adjustment disorder with depression. It encourages therapists to recognize that the complex themes of the depressive disorders may be more fully realized within the context of integrated and unified psychotherapy perspectives. This text is essential for early-career and seasoned therapists, graduate students, and psychotherapy researchers who wish to explore the past and contemporary history of psychotherapy approaches in order to understand the depressive disorders.
Depth Psychology, Cult Survivors, and the Role of the Daimon: Oppression, Agency, and Authenticity (Advances in Mental Health Research)
by Linda R. QuennecThis book explores the possibilities that exist for navigating out of and away from multiple levels of oppression through memoir-based research. It considers how those raised in oppressive, high-demand communities, colloquially referred to as “cults,” can emancipate themselves from controls and expectations inculcated from early childhood and examines processes surrounding the psychological reclamation of self. Exploring and metaphorically tending to an orienting psychological dynamic that the ancient Greeks related to as “the daimon” and using the perspectives of Jungian and post-Jungian depth psychology, the author investigates how subjects can reclaim agency and avoid excessive control over their thoughts, attention, and life’s intentions. They suggest that depth psychologically oriented modes can be used to this attunement and explore this notion through a study of memoirs of individuals who were raised in “cults.” Suggesting a more aligned approach to working with varying levels of psychological constraint and utilizing a phenomenological hermeneutic study, it will appeal to scholars and professionals in depth psychology and other psychological orientations, as well as individuals who are interested in more deeply understanding the psychological mechanisms involved in leaving a high-demand group or other oppressive situations.
Der Beitrag der Psychologie zur nachhaltigen Entwicklung: Ein Kompendium (SDG - Forschung, Konzepte, Lösungsansätze zur Nachhaltigkeit)
by Antje FladeDie von den Vereinten Nationen für eine nachhaltige Entwicklung formulierten siebzehn Themenfelder sind politische Zielsetzungen. Sie beruhen auf dem Leitbild der Nachhaltigkeit, dem drei Dimensionen zugrunde liegen: die Ökonomie, die Ökologie und die sozialen Belange. Die internationalen und nationalen Akteursebenen liefern ein Rahmenprogramm, das jedoch gefüllt und konkretisiert werden muss, um eine nachhaltige Entwicklung zu erreichen. Das geschieht vor allem auf der kommunalen und der individuellen Ebene. Damit der einzelne Mensch zur nachhaltigen Entwicklung beitragen kann, muss er dazu befähigt und motiviert werden. Die Psychologie verfügt über Theorien und Konzepte, um umweltbezogenes Handeln zu erklären und zu beeinflussen. Sie ist deshalb bei den Bemühungen, zu einer nachhaltigen Entwicklung zu gelangen, unentbehrlich.
Der Einfluss des Betreuungsangebotes auf die Entscheidung zur Mutterschaft bei Akademikerinnen (BestMasters)
by Isabella GeorgiDer demografisch bedingte Fachkräftemangel gefährdet die Stabilität des Arbeitsmarktes und Sicherung der Sozialsysteme. Eine Steigerung des Geburtenverhaltens könnte die drohenden Konsequenzen langfristig abwenden. Mit dem Ausbau der Betreuungsinfrastruktur hat sich die hohe Kinderlosigkeit in Deutschland stabilisiert. Die Vereinbarkeit von Familie und Beruf wird jedoch weiterhin als unzureichend empfunden. Es stellt sich daher die Frage, ob ein besseres Betreuungsangebot die Kinderlosigkeit senken könnte. Für die Entscheidung zur Mutterschaft weist die Autorin eine signifikant stärkere wahrgenommene Verhaltenskontrolle und Intention durch das bedarfsgerechte Betreuungsangebot im Vergleich zum derzeitigen Betreuungsangebot nach. Für die Vereinbarung von Mutterschaft und Karriere konnte ebenfalls eine signifikant stärkere wahrgenommenen Verhaltenskontrolle und Intention durch das bedarfsgerechte Betreuungsangebot im Vergleich zum derzeitigen Betreuungsangebot ermittelt werden. Die Effekte waren als groß zu bewerten. Die Ergebnisse verdeutlichen, dass ein bedarfsgerechtes Betreuungsangebot die Entscheidung zur Mutterschaft sowie die Vereinbarung von Mutterschaft und Karriere positiv beeinflusst.

Der Seelenadvokat
by Charity OkaWir leben im Allgemeinen in einer Welt, die auf Grenzen ausgerichtet ist, und wir sind dazu erzogen worden, diese Grenzen hoch zu achten und sie sorgfältig zu schätzen und zu berücksichtigen, weil wir glauben, dass sie ideal sind und bessere Beziehungen und tiefere Verbindungen zwischen uns schaffen. Diese Grenzziehung erstreckt sich auch auf Kulturen, Religionen und Familien. Unsere Kulturen und Familien setzen diese Grenzen ausdrücklich fest und hindern die Menschen daran, zu handeln und eigene Grenzen, Überzeugungen ,,,,, und Meinungen zu haben. Und wenn die Gesellschaft und die Eltern ihre Grenzen setzen, erwarten sie von uns, dass wir sie nicht überschreiten, aber unsere individuellen Grenzen werden oft gegen uns zurückgedrängt, damit die Kontrolle der Welt bestehen bleibt. Wenn wir jeden Tag von etwas umgeben sind, gewöhnen wir uns so sehr daran, dass wir es gar nicht mehr hinterfragen. Nur um dann festzustellen, dass die Grenzen nicht das sind, was sie uns vorgaukeln; vielmehr sind sie ein Bündel ungesunder Kontrolle, um uns am Zugang zur Wahrheit zu hindern. Das Festhalten an dieser kalkulierten Täuschung hat uns lange Zeit aus dem Bewusstsein herausgehalten, aber jetzt, wo wir beginnen, intuitive Eingebungen zu haben und die Systeme der Welt zu bewerten, findet eine Bewusstseinsveränderung statt. Die Angst, die uns eingeflößt wird, um in einem illusorischen Gefängnis zu bleiben, beginnt allmählich ihre Macht über uns zu verlieren. Diese Erkenntnis und das jüngste Erwachen, die Bemühungen der Gesellschaft, uns mit Angst und Schuldgefühlen zu managen, das hochqualifizierte Gaslighting und die massenhafte Manipulation der Menschheit unter dem Deckmantel der Grenzen, haben uns eine außerordentliche Freiheit gegeben, das zu tun, was sich richtig anfühlt. Es ist an der Zeit, die Dinge zu verlernen, die für uns nicht mehr nützlich sind, und unsere Wahrheit anzunehmen.

Design Computing and Cognition’24: Volume 1
by John S. GeroThis book publishes the reviewed and revised texts of the papers delivered at the Eleventh International Conference on Design Computing – DCC’24 held at Concordia University in Montreal, Canada. These papers span the range of design research from artificial intelligence, cognitive science, cognitive neuroscience to computational theories applies to design. The papers are published in two volumes and are grouped under the following headings: Design Processes, Design Creativity, Design Cognition, Shape and Form, Design Technology, AI and Design, Design and Brain Behaviors, and Design AI Applications. These two volumes form an archival record of current cutting-edge research studying design scientifically. They demonstrate the range of approaches being used to characterize designing as a process. At the same time they show that there is a commonality in designing independent of design discipline. These volumes will be of interest to design researchers in both academia and industry and to anyone who needs to obtain a better understanding of designing.
Design Thinking and Other Approaches: How Different Disciplines See, Think and Act (Elements in Creativity and Imagination)
by Nathan CrillyEfforts to promote creativity often centre on encouraging people to engage in 'design thinking', 'systems thinking' and 'entrepreneurial thinking'. These different approaches are most often defined, taught and applied in mutual isolation, which has obscured what distinguishes them from each other, what they have in common and how they might be combined. These three approaches are also most often described in isolation from the approaches that characterize other disciplines, all of which are relevant to how problems are identified, framed and solved. These other approaches include 'computational thinking', 'engineering thinking', 'scientific thinking', 'evolutionary thinking', 'mathematical thinking', 'statistical thinking', 'geographical thinking', 'historical thinking', 'anthropological thinking' and many more. Examining these approaches as a set allows each of them to be better understood, and also reveals the connections and contrasts between them. Such comparisons provide the foundation for a more coordinated project to represent how different disciplinary approaches contribute to creative work.
Designing Democratic Schools and Learning Environments: A Global Perspective
by Linda F. Nathan Jonathan F. Mendonca Gustavo Rojas AyalaThis open access book explores democratic schools and learning environments globally. The book focuses on a newly developed framework for democratic education. The authors describe existing schools and concept schools—those that are ideas but not in operation. The first section includes the editors’ own journeys Pillar One includes schools that emphasize the open flow of ideas and choices, regardless of their popularity. Pillar 2 maintains that it is impossible to have a high quality education that ignores equity. Chapters explore how many diverse ‘marginalized’ communities experience education and some innovations that hold great promise for inclusion. Pillar 3 provides examples of schools where active engagement, consensus and compromise support the ‘common good.’ Pillar 4 investigates schools which organize students, parents, social institutions and the larger community collaboratively to achieve its goals and to solve theirs and society’s most urgent challenges.

Designing Proximity: Reflections on Future Cities (Springer Series in Design and Innovation #45)
by Francesco Zurlo Laura GalluzzoThis book showcases nine possible scenarios for future cities, based on different aspects and characteristics of the term "proximity". Different points of view have been investigated on many themes related to the city of proximities: from bottom-up design actions to the inclusive city, from neighborhood services to public space in transformation, to platforms and economies of proximity. When discussing the concept of proximity, it is imperative to several aspects of building and inhabiting the city of fifteen minutes. The city and its neighborhoods are complex structures, made up of stratified levels of evolving systems, that encompass administrative and political aspects, urban spatial considerations, the dynamics of human interaction, and more. The necessity to re-appropriate the urban space leads all inhabitants to contemplate different aspects of their lives concerning proximity space, reflecting on how behavior, actions, and relationships can be improved and transformed to make our future more sustainable. This book envisions future scenarios that will make public space an active and functional place for the city, more inclusive, responding to the needs and desires of the different populations that inhabit it.
Developing Pedagogies of Compassion in Higher Education: A Practice First Approach (Knowledge Studies in Higher Education #15)
by Kathryn Waddington Bryan BonaparteThis collection addresses intersections and gaps between practice, theory, and research that both connect and divide compassion and pedagogies. In foregrounding practice, it makes an important contribution to the growing call for universities and educators to adopt inclusive student-centred approaches that challenge us to fundamentally re-think what universities do. It celebrates the role of students as co-creators of knowledge, locating them at the heart of what pedagogies of compassion in higher education should feel like and look like. It examines how compassion can become both critical and strategic in order to disrupt systems and orthodoxies that are no longer fit for purpose in a post-pandemic world. The ultimate goal the book aims to address is the need for humane universities driven by compassion, rather than profit, which can help to build fairer and more socially just societies. The book extends the theoretical and practical discussions of compassion as a fundamental organizing principle in higher education. It brings fresh interdisciplinary thinking, theories and approaches including the neuroscience of compassion, classical Eastern philosophies, intersectional compassion, sustainability, and environmental stewardship. It also includes critical reflection on experiences, challenges, barriers, and enablers, across multiple levels and perspectives. These range from reflections on compassion in the classroom to compassion in the boardroom, as well as in the many other spaces and places where learning occurs. It offers a creative collection of essays on compassionate practices in higher education, and appeals to anyone who is concerned about the moral standing of the university. ‘For some time now, we have been told that universities must be viewed on the business model, but this has only discouraged faculty, students and staff. As the contributors show, however, the very idea that teaching and educational practices could be more closely linked to compassion is definitely appealing, and it gives us a more inspiring way of thinking about the university of the future.’ Richard J. White, Creighton University, Omaha, NE, USA
Developing Sport Expertise: Researchers and Coaches Put Theory into Practice
by Joseph Baker Damian Farrow Clare MacMahonThe athlete development process spans from initial sport engagement to elite-level performance to effective career transition out of sport. This is a long and complicated process. Identifying and nurturing talent, fine-tuning sport skills, and maintaining high levels of performance over the course of a career requires many thousands of hours of training and, increasingly, the input and support of expert coaches and sport scientists. In this fully revised and updated new edition of the leading student and researcher overview of the development of sport expertise, a team of world-class sport scientists and professional coaches examine the fundamental science of skill acquisition and explore the methods by which science can be applied in the real-world context of sport performance. This book surveys the very latest research in skill acquisition, provides a comprehensive and accessible review of core theory and key concepts, and includes an innovative "Coach’s Corner" feature in each chapter, in which leading coaches offer insights from elite sport and critique contemporary practice in sport skill development. The third edition of Developing Sport Expertise will be invaluable reading for all researchers and students in the areas of expertise in sport, skill acquisition, motor control and development, sport psychology, or coaching theory and practice.
Developing Together: Understanding Children through Collaborative Competence
by Rebecca R. GarteDeveloping Together challenges systematic biases that have long plagued research with marginalized populations of children. It traces the unexamined assumptions guiding such research to definitions of subjectivity and the psyche based in Western cultural norms. The book provides alternative paradigms, applying a comprehensive methodology to two unique schooling contexts. Through this new approach children's development can be seen as an interactive, collaborative process. The chapters highlight how theoretical assumptions directly influence research methods and, in turn, affect educational practices. Unique in its provision of a detailed alternative method for conducting research with children, the book explains how the study of collaborative competence would influence education and applied fields. It is an essential resource for researchers in developmental psychology, educators, and policymakers alike.
Developmental Ruptures: The psychoanalysis of breakdown and defensive solutions (The New Library of Psychoanalysis)
by Anna Maria NicolòThis book questions the diagnostic categories applied to adolescents from a developmental viewpoint, putting forth an alternative perspective for assessment that considers prognostic and risk indicators.Going beyond the classification of adult psychopathology, Anna Maria Nicolò presents a multidimensional approach to the adolescent mind that explores its complexities through a clinical lens and accompanying theoretical prism. Often, crises in adolescence might well mark the onset of a psychotic process that does not respect phase-specific tasks. Yet in other cases, such developmental ruptures are the opportunity for a positive reorganisation of personality. In this way, adolescence may highlight latent childhood functioning or allow for new integrations. Therefore, accurate diagnosis and early intervention are necessary to enable the developmental reorganisation of both the patient and the family. Drawing on clinical case material, this book provides readers with the practical and theoretical tools to intervene in developmental ruptures.Developmental Ruptures will appeal to psychoanalysts, psychiatrists, and developmental psychologists, as well as to people working with psychotic onset and crises emerging particularly at the outset of puberty or young adulthood.
Dhat Syndrome: Medical, Psychological and Sociocultural aspects
by S. M. Yasir Arafat Sujita Kumar Kar Vikas MenonDhat Syndrome is known as a culture-bound syndrome in South Asia. People with Dhat Syndrome often present with anxiety and distress related to semen loss. Multiple somatic and sexual symptoms often accompany this. The symptoms of Dhat Syndrome closely resemble other neurotic and stress-related disorders. Myths related to sexuality are often the core phenomenon in dhat syndrome, which is responsible for the generation of psychopathology—addressing the myth's preliminary results in resolving psychopathology. However, many patients require pharmacological and psychological management. Due to strong cultural beliefs and associated myths, patients with Dhat Syndrome often reach out to traditional healers before getting the proper psychiatric consultation, further consolidating their myths and poor attitude toward treatment. However, Dhat Syndrome resembles a male entity; a similar entity is reported in females, where females attribute their non-pathological vaginal discharge to psychological distress. The pattern of symptoms has a significant resemblance with Dhat Syndrome in males. There is no standard book that exclusively discusses various aspects of Dhat Syndrome. This book examines the evolution of Dhat Syndrome to the current understanding of the disease and its management. Hence, this book will be unique and helpful for this disorder.

Diagnosis in Social Fields and Networks: Theories and Practice in Complex Social Contexts
by DeMond S. Miller Sotirios ChtourisContaining a novel compilation of theoretical and methodological approaches, this textbook lays out the most relevant foundations of clinical sociology. Relying heavily on well-recognized medical models and concepts to help communicate ideas (e.g. treatment, diagnosis, clinical, cure), the methods of social diagnosis and social therapy presented in this book will help in better and socially informed protection of vulnerable individuals and citizens as well as an informed design of protection policies for macro, meso and micro levels of society. The book explains that many problems, perceived as economic, psychological-individual, and political, are rooted in social functions and structures of the wider society, and how these social structures and functions interact in everyday life. Through the application of the theoretical and methodological approaches in case studies on recent issues, such as the Covid pandemic, or the Hurricane Katrina disaster, the book will allow readers to easily cope with the complexity of clinical sociology and to develop clinical competencies and pertinent training. This renders the book not only highly useful for advanced undergraduate and graduate students of clinical and applied sociology but also for the preparation of courses for theoretically informed practitioners who are keen to work by defining learning objectives and learning paths.
