Happiness Education
This edited collection challenges the common preoccupation with knowledge acquisition and academic achievement by comparing the aims and cultural beliefs which drive education in different countries throughout the world. Through case studies from countries in Asia, Latin America, Africa, and Europe, the authors present how education can be approached holistically to foster student happiness and well-being. The book illustrates wide-ranging interpretations of what it means to provide a "good education," and how student-centered, holistic approaches to learning can be effective in promoting creativity, tolerance, student well-being, and an appreciation of environmental and societal responsibil...
Uyghur Conceptions of Family and Society
Contributing to existing literature on ethnic studies in China, this book is a study of minority subjective experiences in China, using Uyghur Muslims as a case study. By examining Uyghur conceptions of family and society, it investigates whether or not ethnic minorities are culturally capable of understanding and internalizing global norms on equality, community, citizenship, trust, justice and wellbeing. Specifically, it empirically examines Uyghur perceptions of issues such as spousal relations, parenting, community engagement and life satisfaction. Using data gathered from fieldwork in Ürümchi, the author is able to show that there is in fact a high degree of Uyghur conformity to global norms on family and society. In the contemporary context of an Islamic revival and a recent resurgence of Uyghur nationalism, the evidence presented in this book is particularly important to the understanding of the Uyghur ethnic group and other minorities in the region. Whilst making a valuable contribution to the fields of anthropology and sociology, this book will be useful for students of Chinese studies, Religious studies, Ethnic studies and Social Psychology.
Handbook of Happiness Research in Latin America
This book presents original happiness research from and about a region that shows unexpectedly high levels of happiness. Even when Latin American countries cannot be classified as high-income countries their population do enjoy, on average, high happiness levels. The book draws attention to some important factors that contribute to the happiness of people, such as: relational values, human relations, solidarity networks, the role of the family, and the availability and gratifying using of leisure time. In a world where happiness is acquiring greater relevance as a final social and personal aim both the academic community and the social-actors and policy-makers community would benefit from Happiness Research in Latin America.
Restauración psicológica. Una mirada desde la ecología social
El bienestar de los seres humanos es uno de los objetivos de la Psicología Ambiental según Stokols y Altman, cuando lo incluyeron en la definición intencional de esta disciplina en el Handbook of Enviromental Psychology por el año 1987. El establecimiento de esta intencionalidad supone a mi juicio un error ya que constriñe la disciplina a estudiar a la conducta humana en relación con los espacios sociofísicos en una determinada dirección. No es el momento aquí de debatir sobre este asunto pero sí destacarlo dado el tema que se desarrolla en este libro. Una cuestión es estudiar cómo el medio ambiente afecta al bienestar de las personas y otra distinta, que la Psicología Ambiental tiene como fin procurar el bienestar de estas.

Experiencias psicosociales durante la cuarentena por COVID19 en personas mayores de 8 países latinoamericanos: Estudio psicogerontológico
Este libro representa la culminación de un año intenso de trabajo conjunto que buscó dar cuenta de la experiencia vivida por las personas mayores en la primera etapa de la cuarentena por COVID19. Ciertamente, la literatura especializada ha proliferado en informes, encuestas, investigaciones básicas y aplicadas, que evidencian el impacto social, científico y económico que la pandemia de COVID19 ha generado. No obstante, hasta ahora, pocos estudios han dado voz directamente a los participantes y menos aún a las personas mayores, y ello constituyó el énfasis distintivo de la investigación internacional que da lugar a este texto
