Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 714
Book Description
The reach of the social and behavioral sciences is currently so broad and interdisciplinary that staying abreast of developments has become a daunting task. The thirty papers that constitute Leading Edges in Social and Behavioral Science provide a unique composite picture of recent findings and promising new research opportunities within most areas of social and behavioral research. Prepared by expert scholars under the auspices of the National Academy of Sciences, these timely and well-documented reports define research priorities for an impressive range of topics: Part I: Mind and Brain Part II: Behavior in Social Context Part III: Choice and Allocation Part IV: Evolving Institutions Part V: Societies and International Orders Part VI: Data and Analysis

Social and Behavioral Foundations of Public Health
Author: Jeannine Coreil
Publisher: SAGE
ISBN: 1412957044
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 449
Book Description
This book is intended as a core textbook for courses in public health that examines current issues in health from a social and behavioral science perspective. It is a cross-disciplinary course (public health, medical sociology, health psychology, medical anthropology) and thus there are many ways to teach the course based on a particular instructor's perspective. The authors wrote the book because they were dissatisfied with the way other texts apply social science to public health and found that many texts being used were from related fields such as medicine, nursing or general health.The authors are planning to do a major revision based on reviews they have collected and the reviews we have collected. We believe the revised edition will essentially be a new text based on rich feedback. They will include new theory, new cases, new research, and a rich ancillary package. They will also reduce the frameworks presented to make the book more readable to students.

Foundations of Behavioral Research
Author: Fred Nichols Kerlinger
Publisher: Wadsworth Publishing Company
ISBN:
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 784
Book Description
Abstract: The text is designed to help students understand the fundamental nature of behavioral research and the scientific approach to problem solution. It is a treatise on scientific research and problem solving. Stress is on the research problem, the design of research and the relation between the two. The notions of set, relation, variance, probability theory, statistics and measurement present a means to integrate the diverse content of research activity into a unified and coherent whole. Emphasis is on psychological and educational research activity. Particular topics are 1) language and approach of science; 2) sets, relations and variance; 3) probability, randomness and sampling; 4) analysis, interpretation, statistics and inference; 5) analysis of variance; 6) desigbs of research; 7) types of research; 8) measurement; 9) observation and data collection methods; and 10) multiple regression and factor analysis.

The New Behaviorism
Author: John Staddon
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000389685
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
This ground-breaking book presents a brief history of behaviorism, along with a critical analysis of radical behaviorism, its philosophy and its applications to social issues. This third edition is much expanded and includes a new chapter on experimental method as well as longer sections on the philosophy of behaviorism. It offers experimental and theoretical examples of a new approach to behavioral science. It provides an alternative philosophical and empirical foundation for a psychology that has rather lost its way. The mission of the book is to help steer experimental psychology away from its current undisciplined indulgence in "mental life" toward the core of science, which is an economical description of nature: parsimony, explain much with little. The elementary philosophical distinction between private and public events, even biology, evolution and animal psychology are all ignored by much contemporary cognitive psychology. The failings of radical behaviorism as well as a philosophically defective cognitive psychology point to the need for a new theoretical behaviorism, which can deal with problems such as "consciousness" that have been either ignored, evaded or muddled by existing approaches. This new behaviorism provides a unified framework for the science of behavior that can be applied both to the laboratory and to broader practical issues such as law and punishment, the health-care system, and teaching.
