Abstract

There is a growing body of scientific knowledge regarding development during the middle years which has so far been relegated to discipline-specific texts and journals (e.g., clinical psychology and endocrinology).Life in the Middle consolidates main findings across disciplines, with a life-span perspective regarding mid-life. Coverage includes individual development in middle age from the psychological and biological perspectives as well as the sociocultural context in which middle-aged individuals live and work, including physical health in mid-life, psychological well-being, cogn

Abstract

This seminal work focuses on human development from middle childhood to middle adulthood, through analysis of the research findings of the groundbreaking Jyväskylä Longitudinal Study of Personality and Social Development (JYLS). The JYLS project, which began in 1968, has generated extensive publications over many years but this is the first comprehensive summary that presents the conceptual framework, the research design and methodology, and the findings. The study looks at the development over time of issues related to personality, identity, health, anti-social behavior, and well-being and is unparalleled in its duration, intensity, comprehensiveness and psychological richness. The thorough synthesis of this study illustrates that there are different paths to adulthood and that human development cannot be described in average terms. The 42-year perspective that the JYLS provides shows the developmental consequences of children’s differences in socioemotional behavior over time, and the great significance of children’s positive socioemotional behavior for their further development until middle age. Not only will the book be an invaluable tool for those considering research methods and analysis on large datasets, it is ideal reading for students on lifespan courses and researchers methodologically interested in longitudinal research.

Abstract

Ist Schrift immer nur als Herrschaftsinstrument zu betrachten, so wie es Schriftwissenschaft, Ethnologie und Universalgeschichte behaupten? Vom antiken Scherbengericht bis zur Smisdat-Presse konnte Schrift auch der Bestreitung oder Einhegung der Herrschaft dienen. Während Herrschenden-Apotheosen Maßstäbe setzen, an denen real Herrschende scheitern können, zeigen uns Chroniken, wie umkämpft jede Macht ist. Die Beiträger*innen des Bandes zeigen, dass es bei der Instrumentalisierung von Schrift auf die Trägergruppen der Schriftlichkeit, auf Genres und die kulturelle Einbettung ankommt. Anhand von Beispielen, die von der Antike bis in die Zeitgeschichte reichen, beleuchten sie das prekäre Verhältnis zwischen Literalität und Macht.

Abstract

Während sich die motivischen Parallelen zwischen Artusepen und Computerrollenspielen förmlich aufdrängen, erwartet man mediale Gemeinsamkeiten eher nicht. Doch im agonalen Handlungsschwerpunkt mittelalterlicher Texte scheint eine ludonarrative Logik auf, die mit der Interaktivität von Rollenspielen korrespondiert. Protagonist*innen werden Avatare, Lesende zu Spielenden. Totgeglaubtes mittelalterliches Erzählen kehrt wieder im neuen Medium. Ob Witcher oder Wigalois - Franziska Ascher webt ein dichtes Netz an Querverbindungen zwischen den historisch disparaten Gegenständen. Game Studies und Germanistische Mediävistik treten dabei in Dialog und profitieren voneinander.

Abstract

What constitutes a successful life? How do middle-aged men and women who are at the pinnacle of their profession conceptualise success? Do such men and women differ markedly in their conceptions of what constitutes success? Sheelagh O'Donovan-Polten provides an unprecedented window into the most private thinking about success of four male and four female middle-aged lawyers, each of whom is widely recognised to be at the apex of the legal profession in Canada. Using a phenomenological mode of inquiry, she compiles a comprehensive profile of each lawyer's unique construction of success and, through inductive analysis, arrives at a composite rendition of life-career success during middle adulthood. Extending the lines of inquiry of Robert Kegan and Carol Gilligan and incorporating insights of several other adult development and career development theorists, she arrays fourteen core attributes of life-career success within the framework of a metaphorical scales. This sophisticated model of life-career success enables O'Donovan-Polten to explore the relationship between the evolution of the self during middle adulthood and middle-aged persons' conceptualisations of what constitutes success. Having developed a detailed context within which the gender factor is isolated for close scrutiny, she provides evidence of continued institutionalised discrimination inherent in the very language and processes of law. Rather than ending up with attributes identified predominantly with one gender or the other, she manages to illustrate the complexities of gender identity in relation to significant values and constructions of the self and of success. Ultimately, success is shown to be a context-dependent, multifaceted, paradoxical and ever-evolving concept. The Scales of Success will have a great deal of appeal to professionals working in the areas of developmental psychology, vocational psychology, career development, human resource development, adult education, and related areas.
