Cluster Analysis inNeuropsychological ResearchRecent Applications

Cluster analysis is a multivariate classification tech-nique that allows for identification of homoge-nous subgroups within diverse samples based onshared characteristics. In recent years, cluster analy-sis has been increasingly applied to psychological andneuropsychological variables to address a number ofempirical questions. This book provides an overviewof cluster analysis, including statistical and method-ological considerations in its application to neurobe-havioral variables. First, an introduction to clusteranalysis is presented that emphasizes issues of rele-vance to neuropsychological research, including con-troversies surrounding it use. Cluster analysis is thenapplied to[...]

The Strength of Self-AcceptanceTheory, Practice and Research

Self-acceptance is recognized in diverse schools ofChristian and Eastern theology as well as in vari-ous schools of counseling and psychotherapy (e.g.,Humanistic, Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy,Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Acceptance Commit-ment Therapy) as a major contributor to mentalhealth, life satisfaction and wellness. A review of theprofessional literature reveals there is no text thatspells out how different theologies, theories of per-sonality and approaches to counseling and therapyconceptualize self-acceptance and how this conceptis interrelated to other aspects and constructs of spiri-tuality and psychological functioning (e.g., flexibility,mindfulness).[...]

The Catalyzing MindBeyond Models of Causality

How do we understand and explain phenomena inpsychology? What does the concept of “causality”mean when we discuss higher psychological functionsand behavior? Is it possible to generate “laws” in apsychological and behavioral science—laws that gobeyond statistical regularities, frequencies, and prob-abilities? An international group of authors compareand contrast the use of a causal model in psychologywith a newer model—the catalytic model. The Cat-alyzing Mind: Beyond Models of Causality proposesan approach to the qualitative nature of psychologicalphenomena that focuses on the psychological signifi-cance and meaning of conditions, contexts, and situa-tions as well as their[...]

Child and Family AdvocacyBridging the Gaps Between Research, Practice,and Policy

Current statistics on child abuse, neglect, poverty,and hunger shock the conscience—doubly so associetal structures set up to assist families are fail-ing them. More than ever, the responsibility of thehelping professions extends from aiding individualsand families to securing social justice for the largercommunity. With this duty in clear sight, the contrib-utors to Child and Family Advocacy assert that advo-cacy is neither a dying art nor a lost cause but a vitalplatform for improving children's lives beyond the

scope of clinical practice. This uniquely practical ref-erence builds an ethical foundation that defines advo-cacy as a professional competency, and identifies skillsthat[...]

The starting pointfor the work is a survey conducted in ten Europeancountries on a sample of about 9,000 students includ-ing immigrants and natives.

Objectification and(De)Humanization60th Nebraska Symposium on Motivation

People often see nonhuman agents as human-like.Through the processes of anthropomorphism andhumanization, people attribute human characteris-tics, including personalities, free will, and agency topets, cars, gods, nature, and the like. Similarly, thereare some people who often see human agents as lessthan human, or more object-like. In this manner,objectification describes the treatment of a humanbeing as a thing, disregarding the person's personal-ity and/or sentience. For example, women, medicalpatients, racial minorities, and people with disabili-ties, are often seen as animal-like or less than humanthrough dehumanization and objectification.

Clinical Psychology and thePhilosophy of ScienceThe motivation for this volume is simple. For a vari-ety of reasons, clinical psychologists have long shownconsiderable interest in the philosophy of science. When logical positivism gained currency in the 1930s,psychologists were among the most avid readers ofwhat these philosophers had to say about science. Partof the critique of Skinner’s radical behaviorism andthus behavior therapy was that it relied on, and thuswas logically dependent on, the truth of logical pos-itivism—a claim decisively refuted both historicallyand logically by L.D. Smith (1986) in his importantBehaviorism and Logical Positivism: A Reassessmentof the Alliance.

The Impact of Personality onParticipation Decisions in SurveysA Contribution to the Discussion on UnitNonresponse

Increasing nonresponse rates in surveys are a mat-ter of concern internationally, as low response ratesput the quality of survey data into question. The riskof biased data is high if nonrespondents differ sig-nificantly from respondents. In arguing that sam-ple persons’ personality traits are decisive in surveyparticipation decisions, Denise Saßenroth investi-gates the mechanisms causing increasing nonresponserates. Based on a modification of the Social IsolationHypothesis, she analyses the impact of sample per-sons’ personality on participation decisions with datafrom the German General Social Survey and the LISSPanel from the Netherlands.
