This chapter discusses well-being and dysfunctional behaviour at work, organizational design, development and culture, and further aspects of organizational psychology.

Seven discussion topics for developmental psychology are presented. The topics focus on problems that students might encounter in their lives and are intended to promote application of course material. Students enrolled in a large developmental psychology class gave favorable ratings to the use of this technique.

A study investigated the importance of sentence topic in written discourse. Training second language writers to identify sentence topics in drafts of their written work has been proposed as a central means of helping writers achieve greater coherence. The study explored the notion that "topic" is a psychological rather than linguistic concept, and that its use in various forms of pedagogical intervention is therefore likely to be problematic. In the study, 24 native English speakers and 40 learners of English as a Second Language were asked to identify sentence topics in a scientific report. R...

Latent Dirichlet Allocation, a particular method for topic modeling is a generative probabilistic model that models texts as a mixture of underlying topics that could be used for further psychology domain specific research.

Because 98% of teachers use textbooks for the introductory psychology course and the majority of introductory teachers do not assign reading beyond the textbook, examining the topical coverage allocation pattern in introductory textbooks versus that in introductory course lectures is important for our understanding of how introductory students are being educated about our discipline. We examined this relationship by comparing chapter topical allocation findings for textbooks with lecture allocation findings based upon analysis of introductory course syllabi. The two patterns of topical allocat...

This talk will highlight recent developments in simulating the temporal–spectral code provided by the auditory periphery and advances in the study of properties of this code that might be used by the brain to aid the organism in determining the sources of sounds.

Empathy, as defined In this article, is that unique capacity of the human being to feel the experiences, needs, aspirations, frustrations, sorrows, joys, anxieties, hurt, or hunger of others as if they were his or her own. The author speculates that in- dividuals vary in the degree of cortical development necessary to sustain functional empathy. He also sug- gests that the majority of human beings can be trained to that level of empathy necessary to counterbalance the more primitive animalistic determinants of be- havior. He concludes that the blockage of functional empathy by power drives for...

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...

It is fitting that the first article on this topic in the A nnual Review of Psychology be written in the inaugural year of the APA Division on the Psychology of Women, as it is in practical terms too soon to look at the effect of the Division.

Latent topics and trends in psychological publications were examined to identify hotspots in psychology. Topic modeling was contrasted with a classification-based scientometric approach in order to demonstrate the benefits of the former. Specifically, the psychological publication output in the German-speaking countries containing German- and English-language publications from 1980 to 2016 documented in the PSYNDEX database was analyzed. Topic modeling based on latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) was applied to a corpus of 314,573 publications. Input for topic modeling was the controlled terms o...

How is the portrait of the Brazilian scientific production in Social Psychology of the past few years? This study aims to address especifically this question, by visiting the articles published by Brazilian scholars since 1980, all of whom have been recognized and sponsored by the Brazilian National Council on Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq). 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...

Music perception has a long and distinguished history as a topic of psychological research because music requires a mental activity in humans. As a complex human activity, music perception is naturally an area of interest especially to cognitive psychology. Cognitive studies suggest that listener’s experience of a particular musical sequence is driven and at the same time constrained by the sounds registered by auditory mechanisms but also processed by available mental resources. This assumption indicates that researchers must take into account certain inherent limitations and capabilities of ...

Abstract Certain issues concerning child labour are raised: Why do psychologists do so little research on children working, despite the fact that it is widespread? Does work ha? the child's development or deprive the child of necessary opportunities for play? How should research on child labour be conducted?

This paper aims to discuss the rejection of subjectivity by psychologists dominantly oriented towards concepts like discourse and deconstruction, as well as communicative and relational activities. The recognition of the symbolic character of human phenomena by psychology occurred relatively late in relation to philosophy, linguistics and anthropology. Nonetheless, this entrance was so radical that it led psychologists to deny most of the concepts that have traditionally been used by psychology. This paper departs from theoretical traditions that advanced a step further in the comprehension of...

Introductory psychology students at a technical college, 2-year community college, and a regional university rated how important textbook chapters or topics were to them now and in the future and how interesting they were. Importance and interest ratings were highly correlated, and the whole course was rated of greater importance and interest than was any individual topic. Most topics were ranked between important and quite important both currently and for the future, and university students typically rated both topic importance and interest higher. Males rated statistics of greater interest t...

Introductory psychology students typically perform better on posttests compared to pretests; however, not all topics are learned equally well. To measure how much information students learned overall and to determine whether the level of knowledge gained differed by topic, 932 undergraduates enrolled in introductory psychology completed a multiple-choice pretest-posttest assessment. The tests included questions about 11 topics typically taught in introductory psychology. Student-, instructor-, and assessment-related variables that could affect learning were also examined. As expected, posttest...

Teaching of psychology courses trains graduate students in pedagogy, but little is known about how diversity is addressed in these courses. A survey of instructors in teaching of psychology courses assessed their coverage of diversity and classroom bias, as well as the instructional methods used to cover them. Results indicated that 87% of instructors covered diversity issues, and 78% covered bias that occurs in the classroom. Instructors who covered diversity and bias devoted 3 to 5 hr to the topics and primarily used traditional instructional methods, such as discussion, readings, and lectur...
