  • Publisher: Routledge

This is the first book to draw together cutting-edge research on the psychological processes underlying doping use in sport and exercise, thereby filling an important gap in our understanding of this centrally important issue in contemporary sport. Covering diverse areas of psychology such as social cognition, automatic and controlled processes, moral decision-making, and societal and contextual influence on behaviour, the book also explores methodological considerations surrounding doping assessment in psychological research as well as future directions for evidence-based preventive interventions and anti-doping education. Written by a team of leading international researchers from countrie...

Insonnia

L'insonnia è un disturbo molto diffuso e, nonostante in alcuni casi possa trattarsi di un problema transitorio connesso con eventi di vita stressanti, in altri può assumere una connotazione cronica e invalidante, comportando gravi ripercussioni sul funzionamento sociale e lavorativo dell'individuo. Poiché le sue cause possono risultare di diversa natura, spesso si assiste a scorrette concettualizzazioni del disturbo seguite da trattamenti inefficaci e con conseguenze iatrogene. Per tali ragioni una valutazione approfondita della sua entità e dei diversi fattori causali è fondamentale per avviare un trattamento razionale e appropriato. Il presente volume raccoglie i principali strumenti ...

Dopare il corpo, dopare la mente…

Negli ultimi anni ricerche sociologiche, mediche, psicologiche e pedagogiche hanno mostrato un forte interesse, in particolare negli adolescenti, per le pratiche intenzionali di potenziamento (“enhancement”) del corpo e della mente rispetto al “normale” funzionamento fisico-psichico, attraverso l’uso di sostanze chimiche o di pratiche strumentali. Il volume si prefigge lo scopo di descrivere il fenomeno e di chiarire i processi psicologici che orientano un adolescente ad adottare questi comportamenti nello sport e a scuola. Si delinea un nuovo ambito di riflessione bioetica ed inoltre emerge che l’uso di NES (Neuro-Enhancing Substances) produce un deterioramento nell’esperienza...

Using Substances to Enhance Performance: A Psychology of Neuroenhancement

Neuroenhancement (NE) is a behavior conceptualized as the use of a potentially psychoactive substance to enhance ones’ already proficient cognitive capacities. Depending on the specific definitions used, prevalence estimates vary greatly between very low 0.3% (for illicit substances) to astonishingly high 89% (for freely available lifestyle substances). These variations indicate that further research and more conceptual and theoretical clarification of the NE construct is dearly needed. The contributions of this research topic aim to do just that. Specific questions addressed are: How prevalent is NE behavior? How can NE research profit from the already more evolved field of social science...

God, Grades, and Graduation

"It's widely acknowledged that American parents from different class backgrounds take different approaches to raising their children. Upper and middle-class parents invest considerable time facilitating their children's activities, while working class and poor families take a more hands-off approach. These different strategies influence how children approach school. But missing from the discussion is the fact that millions of parents on both sides of the class divide are raising their children to listen to God. What impact does a religious upbringing have on their academic trajectories? Drawing on 10 years of survey data with over 3,000 teenagers and over 200 interviews, God, Grades, and Gra...
