Health Psychology Psychosocial Antecedents of Coronary Heart Disease and Cancer Smoking from a Preventative Point of View Secondary Prevention in Respiratory Disorders Disease and Stress: Mediators and Interventions Occupational Health and Health Education.

In this article the author aims to highlight or spotlight psychology's subject, that is, who (or perhaps even what) psychology purports to inquire about. I will show how the milestones in modern psychological thinking constitute psychology's subject and note the absence of the lived-body and our historicity in theories of the person.

Teachers College Record has been an occasional host for interpretive scholarship written by educational psychologists. But educational psychology’s empirical work has tended to appear in other outlets, such as the Journal of Educational Psychology, Educational Psychologist, and Contemporary Educational Psychology. Despite a long association with Teachers College as a faculty member, I am only just now publishing in Teachers College Record. However, the Record has been changing recently; it has a new look and even a Web page! As part of this new look, editor Gary Natriello has sought to reignit...

HE coordination of both logical syntax and * methodological analysis of scientific language by scientific empiricism (logical positivism) has achieved a twofold result: (.) ' I. Elimination of philosophical pseudo-problems and purification of the empirical sciences from the biases engendered in them by these problems. 2. Creation of an instrument apt for exact formulation, location, and analysis of the real meaning of the valid philosophical issues. While in the earlier phases of the logico-positivistic movement the first of these two major achievements has been particularly hailed by its stud...

Dr. Emmanuel Bernstein of Saranac Lake, NY, and I began PsyET A 2 years ago. While the group is independent of the American Psychological Ass ciation (APA), all of its present 160 members are also members of APA. For a number of reasons, we felt andcontinue to feel the need for an independent group within our profession that will concern itself with psychology's treatment of animals. At the time of PsyET A's inception, psychological research was being singled out for criticism on ethical grounds, be­ yond its proportionate share as but one of the areas of scientific research (e.g., P. Singer's...

I would like to thank all three reviewers for their generous and perceptive reflections on Psychological Subjects. As they recognize, this has been a challenging project, not just in terms of scope – it covers the period from 1900 to the 1970s, ranges from academic psychology to popular psychology, and contains chapters on economic life, healthcare, the Second World War, and the permissive society – but also conceptually. The result is not without its flaws and limitations; some of them highlighted by the reviewers. But the fact that the book has impressed them as opening up the subject in new...

Production from 80 Brazilian researchers was analysed, based on phenomena traditionally studied by Social Psychologists (e.g., Social Influence), which served as a priori categories. Articles that reflect studies developed in 5 geopolitica...

Quantum-mechanical calculations have been applied to predict thermodynamic and reactivity properties of unknown organic molecules, being stable compounds or reactive intermediates. Through synthesis some of the theoretical systems become real compounds that can be synthons (synthetic intermediates) or chirons (optically pure synthetic intermediates) useful in the preparation of natural products and analogues of biological interest (anti-cancer, anti-virus, antibiotic, anti-diabetes agents). Our interests concentrate on remote substituent effects as we want to play with them together with p...
