Expanding Our Understanding of the Psychosocial Work Environment
"In 1996, NIOSH created the National Occupational Research Agenda to advance occupational safety and health research for the nation. This agenda encompassed 21 priority research areas, including Special Populations at Risk. This priority area was created in recognition of the fact that the nation's increasingly diverse workforce contains many women, older workers, and racial and ethnic minorities. Disparities in the burden of disease, disability, and death are experienced by these groups, due in part to their disproportionate employment in high hazard industries and to certain social, cultural and political factors. This document was developed by the investigators from the University of Massachusetts Lowell at the request of the Special Populations at Risk Team to fill that gap by disseminating to the broader occupational safety and health community a concise and accessible compendium of measures used by health researchers to assess the following domains: racism and racial/ethnic prejudice, sexism and sexual harassment, gender and racial discrimination, work-family integration and balance, support for diversity in the workplace/workforce."--Page iii
Global Community
Global security cannot be achieved until people view the world as a global community. Until such time, differences will continue to be perceived as threatening. These perceived “threats” are the primary threat to global security. This volume proposes methods for minimizing the “us versus them” mentality so that we can build a sense of global community.

Artificial Intelligence in Education
The field of Artificial Intelligence in Education has continued to broaden and now includes research and researchers from many areas of technology and social science. This study opens opportunities for the cross-fertilization of information and ideas from researchers in the many fields that make up this interdisciplinary research area, including artificial intelligence, other areas of computer science, cognitive science, education, learning sciences, educational technology, psychology, philosophy, sociology, anthropology, linguistics, and the many domain-specific areas for which Artificial Intelligence in Education systems have been designed and built. An explicit goal is to appeal to those researchers who share the perspective that true progress in learning technology requires both deep insight into technology and also deep insight into learners, learning, and the context of learning. The theme reflects this basic duality.
Positive Approaches to Optimal Relationship Development
Integrates recent theoretical and empirical research on facilitating the optimal development of close relationships.
Experimental Design in Psychology
This text is about doing science and the active process of reading, learning, thinking, generating ideas, designing experiments, and the logistics surrounding each step of the research process. In easy-to-read, conversational language, Kim MacLin teaches students experimental design principles and techniques using a tutorial approach in which students read, critique, and analyze over 75 actual experiments from every major area of psychology. She provides them with real-world information about how science in psychology is conducted and how they can participate. Recognizing that students come to an experimental design course with their own interests and perspectives, MacLin covers many subdisc...
