Abstract:Our primary aim in this paper is to sketch a cognitive evolutionary approach for developing explanations of social change that is anchored in the psychological mechanisms underlying normative cognition and the transmission of social norms. We throw the relevant features of this approach into relief by comparing it with the self-fulfilling social expectations account developed by Bicchieri and colleagues. After describing both accounts, we argue that the two approaches are largely compatible, but that the cognitive evolutionary approach is well suited to encompass much of the social expectations view, whose focus on a narrow range of norms comes at the expense of the breadth the cognitive evolutionary approach can provide.

The formation of ideas is not an independent process, but a part of the rules in particular, which differ by a little or a lot about another language rules, we look at the world and we are watching, to shape perceptions, ensue in our minds; and this means that the primary role in arranging these impressions have stable linguistic systems in our minds, and then varied and became multiple. Speech patterns depend on those impressions, and the function of the association. It is combined with the utter speech mostly, such as: the cultural and moral discourse, and speech - orbital, and so on; so colorful speech definitions are indeed communicative socially, combines say not accomplish, so it has become communicative.  An important social feature is nothing of the dispersion, regarding its richness and breadth of the classification and significance. Hence, we focused our conversation as a speech character of social norms, carved up social and linguistic acts, and dominate the kinetic activity mentally and socially. It is truly that he established rich discourse and scientific domains. Accordingly the study is worth studying and investigating. The first part deals with the sociolinguistic approach of the Al-Hajaj with tangible evidence. It is of twofold: : The first section is /The movement of Al Hajaj from the self to the social.

Broad Variety

The term empowerment has been widely used in the social sciences across a broad variety of disciplines. Empowerment in woman‘s development is a way of defining, challenging and overcoming barriers in her life through which she increases her ability to shape her life. The process of empowerment will not only be able to improve their skills and access to productive resources, but also succeed in enhancing quality, dignity and work in the society status. The effect of empowerment of women creates a powerful influence on the norms, values and finally the laws that govern these communities (Cheryl 1999; Czuba 1999; Nanette 1999; Page 1999). Empowerment includes cognitive and psychological elements, such as a women‘s understanding of her condition of subordination and the causes of such conditions. This requires an understanding the self and the cultural and social expectations, which may be activated by education.

Methodological Refinement

Three points serve as the backbone of Engberg-Pedersen’s interpretation of the social kind of oikeiōsis in Stoicism: (1) rejection of the role of the cosmic nature as a normative premise in oikeiōsis; (2) exclusive stress on the self-reflexive dimension in oikeiōsis; (3) taking the change in one’s view of oneself and other people to be the heart of oikeiōsis. However, none of these is convincing when examined closely. We have also seen that Engberg-Pedersen’s treatment of Paul is insufficient both in its methodological refinement and in exegesis. Engberg-Pedersen’s comparison is dyadic and imbalanced. Moreover, it fails to grasp the complexities and intricacies of Paul’s view of the Jewish customs, the Law, scriptural traditions, and other culturally conditioned social norms.

This chapter focuses on the life and achievements of Sri Narayana Guru, a transformative figure in the social, political, and intellectual landscape of modern Kerala whose impact has been felt across all communities even as he remains a largely unknown figure in north India. The manner in which one person's intervention in one community is receiving attention from individuals and groups beyond the shores of Kerala and outside the original community within which he had his receptivity is shown as providing the transformative power to effect social change not only in Kerala but even beyond. Narayana Guru and his successors in the Gurukula Foundation lineage provide the vantage point for the potential of the movement. The unique approach of the Guru in challenging domination without antagonizing the other nor deprecating the elegance of the self, cutting through the societal sham, offers a renewed 'advaita' accessible to all, as argued in this chapter.

The work is devoted to the psychological analysis of the features of the image of the leader at the present stage of development of the Ukrainian state. The need for psychological studies of the image is conditioned by the contradictions between the social practice of image functioning in different spheres of social life and the need for its theoretical reflection. Methods based on the means of social and psychological influence become significant. Among these tools, the image of the leader is essential. During the creation of his vision, the leader demonstrates the most attractive individual, personal, and professional qualities, learns to see them in themselves "from the side", is aware of his shortcomings, correlates his own characteristics with the standard of personality. In recent years, the concept of the image has firmly entered the information space. In most cases, the image is perceived by people like a specific value, which is associated with the success of certain activities, both individual and collective. Representatives of psychological science have increased their interest in the phenomenon of an image, as evidenced by the sharp increase in recent years in the number of scientific publications on topics related to the image or its aspects. As a result of research using the methods of a questionnaire survey followed by in-depth interviews in focus groups, the ranking structure of the expert model of an ideal modern leader and the ranking structure of the image model of a modern leader in everyday consciousness are presented. The findings of the study described the socio-psychological mechanisms of the functioning of the image as a phenomenon of interpersonal interaction, including: the manifestation of the characteristics of group interaction; the use of social representations and stereotypes; the realization of the self-concept of the subject of the image in correlation relationships with the self-concepts of other subjects of image interaction and the like. The disclosure of the socio-psychological mechanisms of the functioning of the image, their accounting and use are necessary for the development of productive activities on the formation of an optimal image as a phenomenon of interpersonal interaction.

Introduction. The relevance of the problem is caused by the importance of identification of psychological mechanisms and regularities of irritability as a factor interfering with development of ability to accept other person, creation of relations with people on a nonviolent basis. Purpose: identification of psychological mechanisms of emergence of irritability and types of the people causing irritation among students – future experts in psychology and pedagogical maintenance. Materials and Methods. In the course of research the following methods were applied: theoretical ones – analysis, specification, generalisation, typologisation; empiri cal – the author ’s questionnaire of identification of irritability level of people; methods of mathematical statistics – correlation analysis with the use of dichotomizing coefficient of Pearson correlation. 112 students of Moscow Humanitarian University and Cherepovets State University, average age – 20 years old, have participated in a research. Results. The key factors essential for creation of people’s typology causing irritation are revealed. It is found that irritability results from interaction of two groups of factors: evaluating-neutral, characterising extreme forms of manifestation of activity of the individual, and evaluating-emotional, characterising a deviation from the social norms accepted by personality. Integration of these factors is carried out by confronting appearance, traits of character, manner of behavior of this or that person with expectations of an individual that finally leads to emergence of irritability or its absence. Discussion and Conclusions. The received results can be used in the course of formation of students’ professional competences fostering their ability to overcome their own irritability, to accept other people, to interact with them on a nonviolent basis. The further prospect of a research consists in studying of influence of irritability on the nature of interaction with people, acceptances of a certain position, in development of psychology and pedagogical technologies of overcoming irritability that is a condition of formation of a position of a non-violence at future experts of the sphere of psychology and pedagogical maintenance.

Abstract. Grounded in social-psychological literature, this experimental study assessed the effects of two so-called “wise” interventions implemented in a student study program. The interventions took place during the very first week at university, a presumed pivotal phase of transition. A group of 375 freshmen in psychology were randomly assigned to three conditions: control, social belonging, and self-affirmation. Following the intervention, students in the social-belonging condition expressed less social apprehension, a higher social integration, and a stronger intention to persist one month later than the other participants. They also relied more on peers as a source of support when confronted with a study task. Students in the self-affirmation condition felt more self-affirmed at the end of the intervention but didn’t benefit from other lasting effects. The results suggest that some well-timed and well-targeted “wise” interventions could provide lasting positive consequences for student adjustment. The respective merits of social-belonging and self-affirmation interventions are also discussed.

Summary After 1946, ie. after embracing Christianity, Roman Brandstaetter would often point to the Biblical Jonah as a role model for both his life and his artistic endeavour. In the interwar period, when he was a columnist of Nowy Głos, a New York Polish-Jewish periodical, he used the penname Romanus. The ‘Roman’ Jew appears to have treated his columns as a form of an artistic and civic ‘investigation’ into scandalous cases of breaking the law, destruction of cultural values and violation of social norms. Although it his was hardly ‘a new voice’ with the potential to change the course of history, he did become an intransigent defender of free speech. Brought up on the Bible and the best traditions of Polish literature and culture, Brandstaetter, the self-appointed disciple of Adam Mickiewicz, could not but stand up to the challenge of anti-Semitic aggression.

In recent years cultural definitions of »gender« have had extraordinary institutional success. This paper analyses visual worlds that have been motivated by constructivist gender concepts that often display a pronounced symmetry. It relates them to competing images which present difference as scandal, as a mirrored form of the self, or as figurations, and which politicize a-symmetrical forms. The study looks into the social condition of publicity that is constituted by such »picture acts«.
