Self-report measures of motivations, cognitions, and behaviors related to seeking and receiving care from others were administered to 195 students. Self-compassion/reassurance was predicted by the interaction of care-seeking and caregiving, with the positive effect of care-seeking intensified at high caregiving. As hypothesized, the combination of high care-seeking and high caregiving predicted the highest level of self-compassion/reassurance. The lowest level of self-compassion/reassurance was predicted by the combination of low care-seeking and high caregiving consistent with the concept of compulsive caregiving. Findings suggest that fostering a kinder way of relating to oneself may be achieved through more effective care-seeking and caregiving with others.","PeriodicalId":280808,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of social psychology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126117869","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Numerous campaigns have been created to convince people to adopt environmentally friendly everyday behaviors, with varying success. The difficulty may be due, at least in part, to the huge gap between these small individual actions and the high-level goals, such as “saving the planet,” often used as incentives. We tested this hypothesis via four experiments. Studies 1 and 2 showed that high-level goals were less effective than low-level goals in promoting paper- and energy-saving behaviors. Study 3 showed that high-level goals engender lower perceived outcome expectancy and higher perception of cumulative effort. Study 4 showed that outcome expectancy mediates the direct effect of goal level on intention.","PeriodicalId":280808,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of social psychology","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114050104","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As the co-editors discuss in the Forward, many of the “founding mothers” (p. 11) of Division 35 of the American Psychological Association are now in their 70s or older and are now facing retirement. The many accomplishments of this group of women are briefly discussed. As the co-editors explain, it was hoped that a “broad audience of readers could benefit from their individual and collective experience” (p. 13). Diversity among the women leadership of Division 35 was considered in inviting chapters, and women who were thinking about retirement wrote about their experiences, along with those who were beginning their retirement years, and those who had already been retired for some time. All of the chapter authors were distinguished scholars and many were former Presidents of Division 35. Michelle Fine discussed the importance of this cohort of women in her Introduction chapter. One of the chapters was written by Nancy Schlossberg, who was classified as being early in her retirement. She has published research on retirement experiences of both men and women (Schlossberg, 2009). She identified six common patterns among both the women and men in her sample.

Indeed, many people often express the life goal of “I just want to be happy.” The Handbook of Positive Emotion establishes positive emotions’ important place in psychological theory and research. The handbook contextualizes positive emotions within various psychological perspectives including evolutionary, social, developmental, and clinical psychology. Overall, the tone of the handbook is persuasive, arguing that understanding positive emotion is just as important as understanding negative emotion. The chapters are concise, well-written, and easily approachable for graduate students and academic researchers. The editors selected an impressive collection of respected researchers with different psychological perspectives to provide a comprehensive overview of the literature on positive emotions. The handbook is logically organized, beginning with an overview of the theoretical foundations underlying positive emotion research. Subsequent sections focus more specifically on biological and social perspectives on positive emotions. This is followed by chapters with a more narrowed focus on specific positive emotions, such as happiness and love. The handbook concludes with a more applied psychological perspective, highlighting the importance of positive emotions for various outcomes, such as physical and mental health. The first section on theoretical foundations of positive emotions gives the reader a basis for understanding the subsequent sections on biological and social perspectives of positive emotions. It begins with a chapter by Smith, Tong, and Ellsworth describing the appraisal theory of positive emotions, which states that emotional experiences are cognitively constructed through an","PeriodicalId":280808,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of social psychology","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133439045","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pettibone","doi":"10.1080/00224545.2014.953874","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/00224545.2014.953874","url":null,"abstract":"DUAL-PROCESS THEORIES, IN WHICH it is suggested that separate and often independent automatic and controlled mental processes are used to construct behavior, have become ubiquitous in both social and cognitive psychology. A simple search of PsycINFO for the term “dual process,” for example, nets over 1600 peer-reviewed results, with over 1400 of those articles being published in the last 15 years alone. This increase in the use of dual-process explanations for behavior can be traced in no small part back to the publication of Dual-Process Theories in Social Psychology (Chaiken & Trope, 1999). That book, which has been cited more than 800 times since its publication, provided an influential collection of what was becoming an explosion of dual-process theories. The increase in the use of dual-process explanations since 1999 has been accompanied by a diversity of models, assumptions, and criticism that clearly warrants a return to the topic. In Dual-Process Theories of the Social Mind, editors Jeffery Sherman, Bertram Gawronski, and Yaacov Trope have organized a follow-up to the original book that does more than simply collect the last 15 years of developments in the use of dual-process explanations. Specifically, this book attempts to provide structure and critique to what has become a sometimes too broad and non-falsifiable method of explaining behavior. Given the range of use of dual-process theories in social psychology, from attitude formation to decision making, this is no small task. Yet, it is likely this this text will become as commonly cited as its predecessor due to this effort. The book is divided into nine parts, with a total of 38 contributions by well-regarded experts in their field. The first two parts, “Part I: The Basics” and “Part II: Dual-System Models,” serves both as an introduction to understanding the processes involved at a general level as well as an attempt to provide a more molar level breakdown of different aspects controlled and automatic processes. The themes detailed here, primarily focused on defining the types of automaticity and control processes as well as their independence or lack thereof, are echoed across the rest of the text and serve to set the stage for the specific models that are presented later in the book.

As de Rosa demonstrates, the theory has been fruitful and influential in Europe but not part of the mainstream in the English-speaking world of social psychology. Scholars who decide to reach for this book may find both crucial theoretical reflections presented in the first part, as well as multiple examples of research projects that use different methodology and are applied to a variety of topics. Post-graduate students who wish to broaden their understanding of the theory, including its history and development across time and space, may particularly benefit from reading contributions of three generations of social scientists spread all over the world. Social Representations in the ‘Social Arena’ is not an easy read, and it does not contain a general overview. Instead, it allows the readers to take different perspectives, probably seeing familiar research topics with new eyes. The vast majority of authors represent European universities, each with a slightly different approach to the theory and ways of sharing their thoughts, due to personal differences as well as language and culture. In fact, the book in itself could be study material for a cultural psychology seminar. For those who can read only one language, the volume constitutes a first opportunity to encounter such a variety of social representations scholars’ contributions. Almost every author shares his or her interpretation of the theory in a chapter, except for the editor whose contributions amount to four, and both open and close the volume, providing a common thread and aiding to mentally organize this rich food for thought. de Rosa’s introduction should actually be treated as the first chapter due to the crucial importance of assessing 50 years of history of the theory of social representations focusing on its founder’s seminal book.

Among the issues raised is the pervasive presence of implicit biases that played out not only in the decisions of Zimmerman in confronting Martin, but in the public response to the incident and its aftermath. So a book titled Our Racist Heart? An Exploration of Unconscious Prejudice in Everyday Life published this year by Geoffrey Beattie appears very timely and potentially useful in examining current research and theory concerning racial prejudice. Beattie is Professor of Psychology at Edge Hill University and a Fellow of the British Psychological Society. In addition to his work on the role of unconscious bias as described in this book, he has published extensively in the area of nonverbal communication and in the study of unconscious factors underlying decisions affecting environmental sustainability. This book appears aimed toward an advanced student audience, perhaps as material for a seminar on prejudice. For instance, each chapter ends with a bulleted list of simple summary statements that might serve as discussion points. The book consists of 17 chapters organized in three parts, as well as two appendices.
