Introductory psychology textbook authors and psychology editors representing the publishers of these texts were surveyed on their perceptions of the introductory psychology text market. Three major findings emerged from their responses. First, the market seems roughly divided into three segments: upper, middle, and lower level texts. Second, like professors, authors and editors are not familiar with most of the texts in this market. Third, the growth of used book companies and the escalation of supplementary packages have greatly diminished the profit margin for introductory texts, leading to higher prices and a decreasing number of competing texts. The nature of this decrease is analyzed by examining directories of introductory psychology texts in print during the last 12 years. The role of the professor in these market problems is discussed.

El acuerdo de paz en Colombia trae consigo retos a nivel socio-económico asociados a la reintegración social de los individuos involucrados. En este sentido, entidades como el Servicio Nacional de Aprendizaje adoptan un rol importante desde la formación para el trabajo y a su vez el apoyo para lograr una vinculación laboral.  Este artículo tiene como objetivo comprender y analizar las percepciones del mercado laboral del municipio de Cali, desde dos perspectivas principales: empleadores y buscadores de empleo. Encontramos que los empleadores tienen una percepción baja sobre la sostenibilidad del acuerdo de paz y el rol del estado en este proceso, lo cual es clave en la implementación de políticas empresariales inclusivas. Por otro lado, las percepciones sobre las expectativas laborales, en general, son más bajas hacía los excombatientes. Sin embargo, observamos que las víctimas tienen una percepción pesimista que está por debajo de la media de las percepciones encontrados en el estudio. The peace agreement in Colombia brings with it socioeconomics challenges associated with the social reintegration of the individuals involved. In this sense, entities such as the "Servicio Nacional de Aprendizaje" (SENA) adopt a significant role from training for work and in turn support to achieve a work link. This article aims to understand and analyze the perceptions of the labor market from two main perspectives: employers and job seekers. It was found that employers have a low perception of the sustainability of the peace agreement and the role of the state in this process, which is key in the implementation of inclusive business policies. On the other hand, perceptions about labor expectations are lower towards ex-combatants. However, it was observed that victims have a pessimistic perception that is below this average.

AbstractWhitehouse adapts insights from evolutionary anthropology to interpret extreme self-sacrifice through the concept of identity fusion. The model neglects the role of normative systems in shaping behaviors, especially in relation to violent extremism. In peaceful groups, increasing fusion will actually decrease extremism. Groups collectively appraise threats and opportunities, actively debate action options, and rarely choose violence toward self or others.

AbstractIntuitions guide decision-making, and looking to the evolutionary history of humans illuminates why some behavioral responses are more intuitive than others. Yet a place remains for cognitive processes to second-guess intuitive responses – that is, to be reflective – and individual differences abound in automatic, intuitive processing as well.

Abstract Tomasello offers a compelling account of the emergence of humans’ sense of obligation. We suggest that more needs to be said about the role of affect in the creation of obligations. We also argue that positive emotions such as gratitude evolved to encourage individuals to fulfill cooperative obligations without the negative quality that Tomasello proposes is inherent in obligations.

Abstract The authors do the field of cultural evolution a service by exploring the role of non-social cognition in human cumulative technological culture, truly neglected in comparison with socio-cognitive abilities frequently assumed to be the primary drivers. Some specifics of their delineation of the critical factors are problematic, however. I highlight recent chimpanzee–human comparative findings that should help refine such analyses.

Abstract This commentary focuses upon the relationship between two themes in the target article: the ways in which a Markov blanket may be defined and the role of precision and salience in mediating the interactions between what is internal and external to a system. These each rest upon the different perspectives we might take while “choosing” a Markov blanket.
