ATEM 3-9 Adaptiver Test des Emotionswissens: Manual (SpringerTests)
by Katharina Voltmer Maria von SalischSeit den ersten Tagen ihres Lebens erleben Kinder Emotionen: ihre eigenen und die ihrer eng vertrauten Mitmenschen. Das Wissen über die Emotionen anderer Menschen ist ein grundlegender Bestandteil in allen Modellen der emotionalen Kompetenz und eine wichtige Informationsquelle ist dabei, Emotionen in den Gesichtern anderer Menschen zu lesen. Zum Emotionswissen gehört auch das Erkennen externaler und internaler Gründe für das Erleben von Gefühlen, welche Konsequenzen dies hat und außerdem das Wissen über die verschiedenen Möglichkeiten der Emotionsregulation. Die Entwicklung des Emotionswissens schreitet in den Vor- und Grundschuljahren rasant voran. Meta-Analysen zeigen, dass ein gut ausgebildetes Emotionswissen sowohl mit größeren sozialen Kompetenzen, höherer Peerakzeptanz und weniger internalisierendem und externalisierendem Problemverhalten zusammenhängt, als auch mit besseren schulischen Leistungen und positiverer Einstellung zur Schule. Eine valide Erfassung des Emotionswissen stellt die Weichen für gezielte Förderung und Interventionen im vorschulischen und schulischen Bereich.Der ATEM 3-9 ist ein Test des Emotionswissens für Kinder im Alter zwischen drei und neun Jahren. Der ATEM ist nach der Item-Response-Theorie aufgebaut und hat ein adaptives Design. Er umfasst sechs Komponenten: (1) das Erkennen von Emotionen in der Mimik anderer Menschen, (2) das Erkennen von Situationen als Emotionsauslösern, (3) das (Nicht-) Erfüllen von Wünschen als Emotionsauslöser, (4) gemischte Emotionen, (5) Überzeugungen als Emotionsauslöser, (6) Wissen über Ausdrucksregeln von Emotionen und (7) Wissen über Emotionsregulationsstrategien. In diesen Komponenten wird das Emotionswissen über die Emotionen Freude, Trauer, Ärger, Angst, Ekel und Überraschung abgefragt. Die Items des Tests sind in eine für Kinder ansprechend gestaltete Geschichte eingebettet und steigen in ihrer Schwierigkeit entsprechende der Entwicklung des Emotionswissens im Vor- und Grundschulalter an.

Aapka Banti: आपका बंटी
by Mannu Bhandari'आपका बंटी' एक कालजयी उपन्यास है। इसे हिंदी साहित्य की एक मूल्यवान उपलब्धि के रूप में देखा जाता है। इस उपन्यास की खासियत यह है कि यह एक बच्चे की निगाहों से घायल होती संवेदना का बेहद मार्मिक चित्रण करता है, जिसमें मध्यमवर्गीय परिवार में संबंध विच्छेद की स्थिति एक बच्चे की दुनिया का भयावह दुःस्वप्न बन जाती है। सभी एक-दूसरे में ऐसे उलझे हैं कि पारिवारिक त्रासदी से उपजी स्थितियां सभी के लिए यातना बन जाती हैं। कहना मुश्किल है कि यह कहानी बालक बंटी की है या माँ शकुन की। शकुन के जीवन का सत्य है कि स्त्री की जायज महत्वाकांक्षा और आत्मनिर्भरता पुरुष के लिए चुनौती है- नतीजे में दाम्पत्य तनाव से उसे अलगाव तक ला छोड़ता है। यह शकुन का नहीं, समाज में निरन्तर अपनी जगह बनाती, फैलाती और अपना कद बढ़ाती 'नई स्त्री' का सत्य है। पति-पत्नी के इस द्वन्द में यहाँ भी वही सबसे अधिक पीसा जाता है, जो नितान्त निर्दोष, निरीह और असुरक्षित है- और वह है बंटी। बच्चे की चेतना में बड़ों के इस संसार को कथाकार मन्नू भंडारी ने पहली बार पहचाना था। बाल मनोविज्ञान की गहरी समझ-बूझ के लिए चर्चित, प्रशंसित इस उपन्यास का हर पृष्ठ ही मर्मस्पर्शी और विचारोत्तेजक है।

Abducted: How People Come to Believe They Were Kidnapped by Aliens
by Susan A. ClancyThey are tiny. They are tall. They are gray. They are green. They survey our world with enormous glowing eyes. To conduct their shocking experiments, they creep in at night to carry humans off to their spaceships. Yet there is no evidence that they exist at all. So how could anyone believe he or she was abducted by aliens? Or want to believe it? To answer these questions, psychologist Susan Clancy interviewed and evaluated "abductees"--old and young, male and female, religious and agnostic. She listened closely to their stories--how they struggled to explain something strange in their remembered experience, how abduction seemed plausible, and how, having suspected abduction, they began to recollect it, aided by suggestion and hypnosis. Clancy argues that abductees are sane and intelligent people who have unwittingly created vivid false memories from a toxic mix of nightmares, culturally available texts (abduction reports began only after stories of extraterrestrials appeared in films and on TV), and a powerful drive for meaning that science is unable to satisfy. For them, otherworldly terror can become a transforming, even inspiring experience. "Being abducted," writes Clancy, "may be a baptism in the new religion of this millennium." This book is not only a subtle exploration of the workings of memory, but a sensitive inquiry into the nature of belief.
Abduction in Cognition and Action: Logical Reasoning, Scientific Inquiry, and Social Practice (Studies in Applied Philosophy, Epistemology and Rational Ethics #59)
by John R. Shook Sami PaavolaThis book gathers together novel essays on the state-of-the-art research into the logic and practice of abduction. In many ways, abduction has become established and essential to several fields, such as logic, cognitive science, artificial intelligence, philosophy of science, and methodology. In recent years this interest in abduction’s many aspects and functions has accelerated. There are evidently several different interpretations and uses for abduction. Many fundamental questions on abduction remain open. How is abduction manifested in human cognition and intelligence? What kinds or types of abduction can be discerned? What is the role for abduction in inquiry and mathematical discovery? The chapters aim at providing answer to these and other current questions. Their contributors have been at the forefront of discussions on abduction, and offer here their updated approaches to the issues that they consider central to abduction’s contemporary relevance. The book is an essential reading for any scholar or professional keeping up with disciplines impacted by the study of abductive reasoning, and its novel development and applications in various fields.
Abenteuerlustig & Hochsensibel: Wie Sie als extravertierter Hochsensibler gut leben können (essentials)
by Cordula RoemerAgil, gesellig und empfindsam? Hochsensibilität gilt allgemein als eine eher introvertierte Veranlagung. Dennoch gibt es feinfühlige Menschen, die sowohl empfindsam sind und sich zugleich extravertiert durch das Leben bewegen. Wie aber passt dies beides zusammen? Schließen sich die beiden Wesenszüge nicht einander aus? Diesen und weiteren Fragen folgt die Autorin in einem kritischen Diskurs, um mehr Klarheit in den Dschungel unterschiedlicher Zuschreibungen und Erklärungen zu bringen. Dieser Diskurs möchte dazu beitragen, die Gefahr einer möglichen Fehlinterpretation im Rahmen einer fachspezifischen Begleitung in Beratung, Coaching und Therapie bei hochsensiblen Menschen zu verringern. Der zweite Teil des Buches gibt Ihnen umfangreiche und vielfältige Tipps und Methoden zum Umgang mit einer extravertierten Hochsensibilität an die Hand.
Aberrant Beliefs and Reasoning (Current Issues in Thinking and Reasoning)
by Niall GalbraithAn aberrant belief is extreme or unusual in nature. In the most serious cases these beliefs cause emotional distress in those who hold them, and typify the core symptoms of psychological disorders. Each of the chapters in this volume seeks to examine the role that biases in reasoning can play in the formation of aberrant beliefs. The chapters consider several conjectures about the role of reasoning in aberrant belief, including the role of the jumping to conclusion bias in delusional beliefs, the probabilistic bias in paranormal beliefs, the role of danger confirming reasoning in phobias, and the controversial notion that people with schizophrenia do not succumb to specific forms of reasoning bias. There are also chapters evaluating different theoretical perspectives, and suggestions for future research. Aberrant Beliefs and Reasoning is the first volume presenting an overview of contemporary research in this growing subject area. It will be essential reading for academics and students in the fields of human reasoning, cognitive psychology and philosophy, and will also be of great interest to clinicians and psychiatrists.
