Making Men Into Fathers
Prominent gender studies scholars consider how institutional settings and policy shape new models of fatherhood.
Control of Human Behavior, Mental Processes, and Consciousness
In this book, an international group of leading scientists present perspectives on the control of human behavior, awareness, consciousness, and the meaning and function of perceived control or self-efficacy in people's lives. The book breaks down the barriers between subdisciplines, and thus constitutes an occasion to reflect on various facets of control in human life. Each expert reviews his or her field through the lens of perceived control and shows how these insights can be applied in practice.

Between Prague Spring and French May
Abandoning the usual Cold War–oriented narrative of postwar European protest and opposition movements, this volume offers an innovative, interdisciplinary, and comprehensive perspective on two decades of protest and social upheaval in postwar Europe. It examines the mutual influences and interactions among dissenters in Western Europe, the Warsaw Pact countries, and the nonaligned European countries, and shows how ideological and political developments in the East and West were interconnected through official state or party channels as well as a variety of private and clandestine contacts. Focusing on issues arising from the cross-cultural transfer of ideas, the adjustments to institutional and political frameworks, and the role of the media in staging protest, the volume examines the romanticized attitude of Western activists to violent liberation movements in the Third World and the idolization of imprisoned RAF members as martyrs among left-wing circles across Western Europe.
Motivational Psychology of Human Development
The idea for this book grew out of the conference "Motivational Psychology of Ontogenesis" held at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin, Germany, in May 1998. This conference focused on the interface of development and motivation and therefore brought together scholars from three major areas in psychology - developmental, motivational and lifespan.This combination of fields represents the potential influence of development on motivation and the potential role motivation plays in development and its major contexts of family, work and school. Thus, contributors were chosen to apply motivational models to diverse settings of human everyday life and in various age groups across the life span, ranging from early childhood to old age.
Negotiating Adolescence in Times of Social Change
The decline of the socialist governments in Eastern and Central Europe and the resulting political and economic reorganizations of the 1990s provided a dramatic illustration of the far-reaching effects of social change. For those interested in the health and well-being of youth, such instances of social upheaval raise the question of how young people are affected socially and psychologically by societal changes, and whether their development is compromised or enhanced. This important volume considers the processes through which societal changes exert an impact on the course of adolescent development and identify individual and contextual factors that can modify the impact of social change and enhance the likelihood of a successful transition to adulthood.
Deutsche Familiensoziologie
Dieses Buch führt umfassend in zentrale Felder der deutschen Familiensoziologie ein. Der erste Teil ist der Deskription der familiensoziologischen Forschung im deutschen Sprachraum nach 1945 gewidmet. Beginnend bei den familiensoziologischen Untersuchungen der vierziger und frühen fünfziger Jahre zur Frage der gesellschaftlichen Integration der Familie und den zentralen familientheoretischen Ansätzen von König und Schelsky, über die schichtspezifische Sozialisationsforschung in den siebziger Jahren bis hin zur ‚Pluralisierung familialer Lebensformen' werden alle zentralen Diskurse der vergangenen mehr als fünfzig Jahre behandelt. Hieran schließt sich eine kritische Analyse zur Entwicklung der Familiensoziologie an.
Adolescents, Cultures, and Conflicts
First published in 1998. Adolescent development and well-being are both affected by socio-political change, political violence, immigrant status and various types of cultural, social and institutional diversity. These are realities faced by many adolescents in Europe today. This book examines these circumstances, and also the impact of recent socio-political changes in Eastern Europe and conflicts in Northern Ireland. Adolescent identities are looked at, as well as the effects of prejudice towards immigrant youths from their host societies.
Die Transformation kulturellen Kapitals
Der Band macht mit einem empirisch und theoretisch qualifizierten Weiterbildungsprofil bekannt. Der dabei zugrundeliegende Ansatz liefert für die sozialwissenschaftliche Theoriebildung, für die Bildungsdiskussion und für die Praxis in Beruflicher Weiterbildung und Sozialer Arbeit neue Ansatzpunkte. Die Konvergenzen aus den Kapitalformen von Pierre Bourdieu und aus den Spielräumen des Lebenslagen-Ansatzes bieten das "Kulturelle Kapital" als ein Konzept an, das es erlaubt, Aspekte sozialer Ungleichheiten bei der Analyse subjektiver Bildungsprozesse auf der Ebene der Lebenslage zu erschließen. Kulturelles Kapital ist dabei keine flüchtige Mode, sondern ein beständiger Kapitalwert auf der Basis der Eigenkultur von Gruppen.
