Multiple Pathways of Cognitive Aging
"The empirical study of aging and cognition has progressed tremendously over the past 50-plus years. Much of the original research had its roots in the medical realm as investigators sought to characterize cognitive deficits associated with aging. For the most part, this research adhered to a biomedical model, in which aging was considered akin to a disease, and the focus was on understanding patterns of decline that were assumed to be an inevitable part of getting older (Hess & Blanchard-Fields, 1996). Indeed, aging was often studied by comparing patterns of decline to those associated with atypical populations with specific diseases or cortical lesions/insults (e.g., West, 1996). The study...
Psychobiological Mechanisms of the Effectiveness of Music Interventions
The present thesis aimed to determine the psychobiological mechanisms of the purported beneficial effectiveness of music interventions. For this purpose, two studies were conducted. In a first study, the associations between music listening and health were investigated under consideration of predicted mediating mechanisms. In a second study, we set out to examine the assumed stress-reducing effect of listening to relaxing music in a rigorously controlled experiment in a laboratory setting across neuroendocrine, autonomic, cognitive, and emotional domains of the acute stress experience in healthy participants.
52 Ways to Walk
'Fascinating ... Connected both to old wisdom and new scientific frontiers of discovery' Lauren Laverne ________________________ 'We can all learn something from 52 Ways to Walk. I know I can.' Michael Ball, BBC Radio 2 ________________________ Walking strengthens our bodies, calms our minds and lifts our spirits. But it does so much more than this. Our vision, hearing, respiration, sleep, cognition, memory, blood pressure, sense of smell and balance are all enhanced by how we walk. For instance: · Walking in cold weather burns extra fat and builds more muscle. · Walking alone strengthens our memories. · Walking in woodland helps us sleep. · And there's nothing more restorative than a ro...
Sul camminare
Tra scienza, esperienza personale e ricerca, Sul camminare è una guida alle infinite possibilità del muoversi.Scegliendo 52 esempi, idealmente uno a settimana, Annabel Streets scopre con il lettore cosa succede a corpo, mente e spirito se i piedi si mettono in moto. Incamminarsi nel fango stimola la serotonina, affrontare il vento accelera il metabolismo, passeggiare con un animale domestico accresce l’autostima, e questi sono solo alcuni dei tanti benefici che ogni camminata, sia essa veloce, in solitaria, lungo un fiume, a piedi nudi o in salita, porta con sé.I 52 capitoli si trasformano in altrettanti suggerimenti per ritrovare una nuova consapevolezza sul movimento perché quasi tutto, a quanto pare, può essere migliorato e potenziato camminando in modo intelligente e consapevole, e perché si può ottenere di più dalla vita, facendo un passo alla volta.Se camminare aggiunge molto alle nostre vite, questo libro aggiunge molto al camminare.

Shattered Assumptions
This book investigates the psychology of victimization. It shows how fundamental assumptions about the world's meaningfulness and benevolence are shattered by traumatic events, and how victims become subject to self-blame in an attempt to accommodate brutality. The book is aimed at all those who for personal or professional reasons seek to understand what psychological trauma is and how to recover from it.
Reliability and Validity in Qualitative Research
Qualitative research is a sociological and anthropological tradition of inquiry. Most critically, qualitative research involves sustained interaction with the people being studied in their own language, and on their own turf. To see qualitative research as strictly disengaged from any form of counting is to miss the point that its basic strategy depends on the reconciliation of diverse research tactics. It is our view that qualitative research can be performed as social science. Understanding the workings of a scientific endeavor, whether it is of the natural or social variety, entails an appreciation of its objectivity. By this convention, the objectivity of a piece of qualitative research is evaluated in terms of the reliability and validity of its observations - the two concepts to which this monograph is devoted.
