Educational Perspective

This chapter discusses the place of social pedagogy in the system of science. It is part of the general pedagogical discipline that deals with socialization problems from a pedagogical perspective. These problems include continuous cultural and social changes within families from childhood to adulthood. These changes are influenced by people's modern and post-modern lifestyles as individuals and collectively. They are further coupled with the challenges of crises of giving meaning to lifestyles, as well as the problems of exposing and bringing up children and the youth within set ethics, morals, norms, and values. The place of social pedagogy in the system of science is discussed from an educational perspective, psychological science, and other sciences, such as anthropology, ecology, history, philosophy, and sociology. A conclusion is drawn and it is followed by research questions.

Adolescence is a period of intense transition and change, from social and emotional changes with increased independence from family to physical changes associated with the onset of puberty. The onset of involvement with alcohol and drugs emerges simultaneously with these interrelated biological, cognitive, affective, and social changes. This chapter considers how developmental processes and emerging domains of functioning impact alcohol consumption in adolescence and presents examples of two lines of research that use integrative models to explore these relationships: the National Consortium on Alcohol and NeuroDevelopment in Adolescence, a longitudinal study designed to examine the developmental impact of alcohol and other drug use on neuroanatomy, neurocognition, and behavior; and Project Options, a voluntary, high school-based intervention aimed at reducing dangerous alcohol use. The chapter concludes with a discussion of research questions for future study, highlighting the central function of technological, behavioral, biomedical, and data analytic advances in these efforts.

The Relationship

This study is an exploration towards identifying the relationship between certain organizational support variables and managerial effectiveness variables. The organizational support variables were facultative climate of work unit, motivation management plans, organizational norms and values, technologically conducive work conditions and lack of non work norms. Managerial effectiveness was conceptualized in terms of competence, satisfaction, conflict resolution, need fulfillment, value realization, self-concept and recognition. Factor analysis and canonical correlations were sought to answer the research questions. Factor-Analysis results revealed the underlying dimensions of the variables under study. Canonical correlations revealed that a positive significant relationship existed between these two.

Burial Mounds

In the regions of southern Scandinavia and northern Germany, within the Neolithic ( c. 4100–1700 BCE), two episodes of intensified monumental burial construction are known: Funnel Beaker megaliths mainly from c. 3400–3100 BCE and Single Grave burial mounds from c. 2800–2500 BCE. So far, it remains unclear whether these boom phases of monumental construction were linked with phases of economic expansion, to phases of economic changes or to periods of economic crisis: do they precede and stimulate periods of economic growth? Or are they a social practice that results from social changes within the societies? To approach these research questions, we will use mainly information on the intensity of monumental construction phases, artefact depositions, environmental changes and changes in subsistence strategies as proxies for comparative studies. Our database comes from the southern Cimbrian Peninsula and adjacent areas. Being one of the most intensively archaeologically researched regions of Neolithic Europe, this region provides robust data sets. As a result, the study demonstrates that during the Funnel Beaker period, economy and ritual were closely interlinked, while disconnected in the Single Grave period.

The Impact

AbstractPsychologists have demonstrated the value of diversity – particularly diversity of viewpoints – for enhancing creativity, discovery, and problem solving. But one key type of viewpoint diversity is lacking in academic psychology in general and social psychology in particular: political diversity. This article reviews the available evidence and finds support for four claims: (1) Academic psychology once had considerable political diversity, but has lost nearly all of it in the last 50 years. (2) This lack of political diversity can undermine the validity of social psychological science via mechanisms such as the embedding of liberal values into research questions and methods, steering researchers away from important but politically unpalatable research topics, and producing conclusions that mischaracterize liberals and conservatives alike. (3) Increased political diversity would improve social psychological science by reducing the impact of bias mechanisms such as confirmation bias, and by empowering dissenting minorities to improve the quality of the majority's thinking. (4) The underrepresentation of non-liberals in social psychology is most likely due to a combination of self-selection, hostile climate, and discrimination. We close with recommendations for increasing political diversity in social psychology.

The article analyses the essence of the concept of "interest". It is analysed the way new social shifts and changes provoke new organizational forms. It is illustrated that merging into new organizational forms is happening on a new basis. Most often, interest appears in scientific research as emotion, intention, concernment, desire, and activity stimulus. In Soviet psychological science, the concept of interest was identified with the concept of cognitive need. Such needs are distinguished as saturated and unsaturated. This characteristic most clearly illustrates the difference between need and interest. Interest has an unsaturated basis; it is not aimed at producing a specific result. Interest can remain the same during the life, or the realization of one interest turns to the realization of the next one. Interests can transform over time, but it is not a transformation of interest itself – it is the transformation of the Self-Concept of the individual. It is presented that interest is always conscious and rational in its essence. The emergence of interest is irrational, it always appears spontaneously. It has been researched that interest is always the result of activity. Interest opens the field of possibilities in the implementation of ideas. Social changesare different in nature. If they bring a new idea, then such an idea corresponds tothe interests, not to the needs. If social changesare dictated by unmet basic needs, then we have a social uprising (revolution).There is no social activity without interest. The space where interests prevail is the space of social change. Supporting "otherness" in social terms gives impetus to development and social shifts. The emergence of scientific and creative communities illustrates how the transition from need to interest changes the world around us.

The COVID-19 pandemic has extensively changed the state of psychological science from what research questions psychologists can ask to which methodologies psychologists can use to investigate them. In this article, we offer a perspective on how to optimize new research in the pandemic’s wake. Because this pandemic is inherently a social phenomenon—an event that hinges on human-to-human contact—we focus on socially relevant subfields of psychology. We highlight specific psychological phenomena that have likely shifted as a result of the pandemic and discuss theoretical, methodological, and practical considerations of conducting research on these phenomena. After this discussion, we evaluate metascientific issues that have been amplified by the pandemic. We aim to demonstrate how theoretically grounded views on the COVID-19 pandemic can help make psychological science stronger—not weaker—in its wake.

In this comment we articulate one central weakness in Lilienfeld’s (2017) perspective on microaggression research in psychological science: Namely, that any analysis of modern forms of expressed prejudice, be they subtle or overt, that does not acknowledge the historical context in which these forms of prejudice are expressed is likely to be fraught with challenges and potential for misunderstanding. Here we articulate how this ahistorical context of prejudice has a prominent history in psychological science, and has frequently led otherwise well-meaning and rigorous research studies to incomplete conclusions about the prejudice experienced by historically marginalized groups. We then discuss how this ahistorical perspective on expressed prejudice leads to misconceptions about microaggression research. Ultimately, the Lilienfeld (2017) piece is a compelling case for considering, whenever possible, the perspectives of those for whom the surrounding historical context of prejudice is most salient. This need is particularly great with respect to research questions that examine the experience of prejudice and thereby directly rely on the wisdom of individuals who come from traditionally marginalized groups and thus are personally steeped in the history, traditions, and thought perspectives that arise from those conditions.

Size Heterogeneity

In a large-scale replication effort, Klein et al. (2018, https://doi.org/10.1177/2515245918810225) investigate the variation in replicability and effect size across many different samples and settings. The authors concluded that, for any given effect being studied, heterogeneity across samples and settings does not explain failures to replicate. In the current commentary, we argue that the heterogeneity observed indeed has implications for replication failures, as well as for statistical power and theory development. We argue that psychological scientific research questions should be contextualized—considering how historical, political, or cultural circumstances might affect study results. We discuss how a perspectivist approach to psychological science is a fruitful way for designing research that aims to explain effect size heterogeneity.

<em>Bukit Duabelas is in the central part of Jambi Province between land transportation routes, namely between the central and eastern crossings of Sumatra, and the central crossing of Jambi. The position of Bukit Duabelas is also located among four sizable rivers, namely; Batang Hari River is in the north, Tabir River is in the west, Tembesi River is in the east and Merangin River is in the south. Ethnic, ethnic and religious cultures also influence communication styles, so culture can become an obstacle in integrating with one another, cultural barriers in integrating are caused by differences in norms and values shared by those involved in communicating. Suku Anak Dalam is one of the Remote Indigenous Communities that inhabits the interior of Jambi Province, such as those in Merangin and Sarolangun Regencies. Since the last 8 years the Remote Indigenous Communities or better known as Suku Anak Dalam, have begun to experience social changes in the way they dress, education and religion. The Anak Dalam tribe has also begun to adapt to the outside community (Village People). Lately, many Anak Dalam tribes have gradually abandoned their ancestral beliefs and converted to Islam.</em>
