Abstract

The Wiley Handbook of Contextual Behavioral Science describes the philosophical and empirical foundation of the contextual behavioral science movement; it explores the history and goals of CBS, explains its core analytic assumptions, and describes Relational Frame Theory as a research and practice program. This is the first thorough examination of the philosophy, basic science, applied science, and applications of Contextual Behavioral Science. Brings together the philosophical and empirical contributions that CBS is making to practical efforts to improve human wellbeing.Organized and written in such a way that it can be read in its entirety or on a section-by-section basis, allowing readers to choose how deeply they delve into CBS. Extensive coverage of this wide ranging and complex area that encompasses both a rich basic experimental tradition and in-depth clinical application of that experimental knowledge.

Abstract

Mark Twain once observed, "A lie can get halfway around the world before the truth can even get its boots on." His observation rings true: Urban legends, conspiracy theories, and bogus public-health scares circulate effortlessly. Meanwhile, people with important ideas?business people, teachers, politicians, journalists, and others?struggle to make their ideas "stick."Why do some ideas thrive while others die? And how do we improve the chances of worthy ideas? In Made to Stick, accomplished educators and idea collectors Chip and Dan Heath tackle head-on these vexing questions. Inside, the brothers Heath reveal the anatomy of ideas that stick and explain ways to make ideas stickier, such as applying the "human scale principle," using the "Velcro Theory of Memory," and creating "curiosity gaps."In this indispensable guide, we discover that sticky messages of all kinds?from the infamous "kidney theft ring" hoax to a coach's lessons on sportsmanship to a vision for a new product at Sony?draw their power from the same six traits.Made to Stick is a book that will transform the way you communicate ideas. It's a fast-paced tour of success stories (and failures)?the Nobel Prize-winning scientist who drank a glass of bacteria to prove a point about stomach ulcers; the charities who make use of "the Mother Teresa Effect"; the elementary-school teacher whose simulation actually prevented racial prejudice. Provocative, eye-opening, and often surprisingly funny, Made to Stick shows us the vital principles of winningideas?and tells us how we can apply these rules to making our own messages stick.Onderstaande tekst is vertaald vanuit de originele taalMark Twain schreef ooit: "een leugen kan rond de wereld reizen terwijl de waarheid nog bezig is zijn schoenen aan te trekken." Zijn observatie klopt: stadslegendes, complottheorieën en onzinverhalen over de gezondheid vieren hoogtij, terwijl mensen met belangrijke ideeën ? zakenmensen, docenten, politici, journalisten en anderen ? worstelen hun boodschap te verkondigen.Waarom zijn sommige ideeën succesvol en anderen niet? En hoe verbeteren we de kansen van goede ideeën? In Made to Stick behandelen de bekende onderwijzers en ideeënverzamelaars Chip en Dan Heath deze lastige vraagstukken. In dit boek onthullen de gebroeders Heath de anatomie van ideeën die blijven hangen en leggen uit hoe je ideeën hangbaarder kunt maken, zoals met het "principe van de menselijke schaal," met de "Klittenbandtheorie van het Geheugen," en door "nieuwsgierigheidsgaten" te scheppen.In deze onmisbare gids ontdekken we dat de verschillende soorten berichten die blijven hangen ? van de beruchte truc met de ring van de gestolen nier tot de lessen van een coach over sportiviteit tot een visie voor een nieuw product van Sony ? allemaal hun kracht halen uit dezelfde zes eigenschappen.Made to Stick is een boek dat de manier waarop je ideeën overlegt, zal transformeren. Het is een vlotte tour van succesverhalen (en mislukkingen) ? de wetenschapper met een Nobelprijs die een glas bacteriën leegdronk om zijn punt te bewijzen over maagzweren; de goede doelen die gebruik maken van het "Moeder Teresa-effect"; de basisschoolleraar die rassenongelijkheid voorkwam. Made to Stick, provocatief, openbarend en vaak verrassend grappig, toont ons de belangrijke principes van succesvolle ideeën ? en vertelt ons hoe we ze kunnen toepassen om ervoor te zorgen dat onze eigen berichten blijven hangen.

Abstract

For much of the twentieth century, industrialized nations addressed social problems, such as workers' compensation benefits and social welfare programs, in terms of spreading risk. But in recent years a new approach has emerged: using risk both as a way to conceive of and address social problems and as an incentive to reduce individual claims on collective resources. Embracing Risk explores this new approach from a variety of perspectives. The first part of the book focuses on the interplay between risk and insurance in various historical and social contexts. The second part examines how risk is used to govern fields outside the realm of insurance, from extreme sports to policing, mental health institutions, and international law. Offering an original approach to risk, insurance, and responsibility, the provocative and wide-ranging essays in Embracing Risk demonstrate that risk has moved well beyond its origins in the insurance trade to become a central organizing principle of social and cultural life.

Abstract

Just as we learn from, influence, and are influenced by others, our social interactions drive economic growth in cities, regions, and nations--determining where households live, how children learn, and what cities and firms produce. From Neighborhoods to Nations synthesizes the recent economics of social interactions for anyone seeking to understand the contributions of this important area. Integrating theory and empirics, Yannis Ioannides explores theoretical and empirical tools that economists use to investigate social interactions, and he shows how a familiarity with these tools is essential for interpreting findings. The book makes work in the economics of social interactions accessible to other social scientists, including sociologists, political scientists, and urban planning and policy researchers. Focusing on individual and household location decisions in the presence of interactions, Ioannides shows how research on cities and neighborhoods can explain communities' composition and spatial form, as well as changes in productivity, industrial specialization, urban expansion, and national growth. The author examines how researchers address the challenge of separating personal, social, and cultural forces from economic ones. Ioannides provides a toolkit for the next generation of inquiry, and he argues that quantifying the impact of social interactions in specific contexts is essential for grasping their scope and use in informing policy. Revealing how empirical work on social interactions enriches our understanding of cities as engines of innovation and economic growth, From Neighborhoods to Nations carries ramifications throughout the social sciences and beyond.
