The Psychology of Tolerance in Times of Uncertainty
This unique book lays out the motivational basis for tolerance, the most important underlying factor that shapes people’s social attitudes and determines our ability to get along with others. Closed- or open-mindedness distinguishes people open to information and new ideas, prepared to change their views, from people who are rigidly attached to their convictions and resistant to the unknown. Demonstrating how the mechanism underlying closed-mindedness is rooted in uncertainty and fear, with the fundamental consequence of closed-mindedness being intolerance, the author shows how basic features of human psychology drive large-scale socio-political developments that determine the fate of peop...
The Psychology of Extremism
This ground-breaking book introduces a new model of extremism that emphasizes motivational imbalance among individual needs, offering a unique multidisciplinary exploration of extreme behaviors relating to terrorism, dieting, sports, love, addictions, and money. In popular discourse, the term ‘extremism’ has come to mean largely ‘violent extremism’, but this is just one of many different types: extreme sports, extreme diets, political and religious extremisms, extreme self-interest, extreme attitudes, extreme devotion to a cause, addiction to substances, or behavioral addiction (to videogames, shopping, pornography, sex, and work). But do these descriptions have a deeper meaning? Do ...
Goal Systems Theory
The book investigates how the mental organization of goals impacts the motivation to pursue them, overcome obstacles to them, experience intrinsic motivation and flow, and even engage in extreme and risky behavior.
Subjective Well-Being and Life Satisfaction
This comprehensive and updated new edition offers scholarly summaries of theory and research on the social psychological influences on subjective well-being and life satisfaction. Among the topics covered are types of relationships (e.g., romantic relationships, friendships, online relationships) and types of interactions with others (e.g., forgiveness, gratitude, helping behavior). It also examines broader social issues such as culture, socioeconomic status, religion, and well-being in the workplace. The latest edition includes new chapters on economic inequality, psychedelic social psychology, singlehood, social worth, and identity. Subjective Well-Being and Life Satisfaction: A Social Psychological Perspective is a rich and focused resource for graduate students, upper-level undergraduate students, and researchers in positive psychology and social psychology. It should also be of interest to social neuroscientists, mental health researchers, clinical and counselling psychologists, and anyone interested in the science of well-being.
Measuring Multitasking Performance in the Face of Interruptions
This case is devoted to multitasking (performing two or more simultaneous tasks) in the face of task-irrelevant interruptions. I first briefly present how multitasking performance is typically measured in an experimental setting and introduce dual-tasking and task-switching paradigms. Next, I present how handling interruptions is measured in laboratory experiments. Finally, I present two experimental methods that combine both multitasking and dealing with interruptions. I focus on task-irrelevant interruptions, which are differentiated from task-relevant interruptions. I also show that ignoring interruptions might lead to better multitasking performance, especially when task-irrelevant interruptions are involved. Possible method modifications for future studies are discussed.

The Science of Religion, Spirituality, and Existentialism
The Science of Religion, Spirituality, and Existentialism presents in-depth analysis of the core issues in existential psychology, their connections to religion and spirituality (e.g., religious concepts, beliefs, identities, and practices), and their diverse outcomes (e.g., psychological, social, cultural, and health).
