The Safety of Intelligent Driver Support Systems
The development of new technologies of information and communication will, in the coming years, transform deeply their uses and practices in transport. The current developments in the field of road telematics and driver assistance systems offer a real opportunity to aid mobility and road safety. However, they also raise numerous questions about their effectiveness, possible positive and negative modifications of behaviour or attitudes and about their acceptability by drivers. Problems related to the design and evaluation of intelligent driver support systems (IDSSs) and social perspectives related to their introduction on a large scale may only be fully addressed from a multi-disciplinary po...
The Psychology of Driving on Rural Roads
Rural roads constitute the most dangerous road category with regard to the number of fatal accidents. In order to increase traffic safety on rural roads it is necessary to take into account not only their inherent properties but also their effect on behaviour. Gert Weller develops a psychological model for driving on rural roads which is validated in three empirical steps: laboratory, simulator and driving experiments. His results provide insight into the possibilities of how driving behaviour on rural roads can be influenced and give practical guidance for the enhancement of rural road safety. The book is written for psychologists in the fields of traffic psychology and human factors research, traffic engineers, road planners as well as for political decision makers in traffic planning departments.

A special emphasis is given to smart technologies and automation in transport, as well as to user-centered, ergonomic and sustainable design of transport systems. The book, which is based...
Das Volkslied in Österreich
Am Ende des Ersten Weltkrieges lag als Ergebnis der seit 1904 in allen Landern der Monarchie durchgefuhrten volksmusikalischen Sammlung ein Probeband vor, der unter dem Titel "Das Volkslied in Osterreich" als Muster fur Format und Schriftart aller zu edierenden Bande in deutscher, slawischer und romanischer Sprache dienen sollte. Der Zusammenbruch der Monarchie verhinderte dieses "Monumentalwerk", das aus 60 Banden bestehen sollte. Der Probeband enthalt mehr als 150 Lieder und Tanze mit Melodien, zahlreiche Spruche und Reime sowie 150 Abbildungen. In den einbegleitenden Texten des Jahres 1918 wird "Wesen und Eigenart des Unternehmens" erlautert und mit dem Leitgedanken "Den Hauptinhalt des W...
Handbuch der Allgemeinen Psychologie – Kognition
Das Handbuch bietet einen Überblick über das Fachgebiet der Kognitiven Psychologie, den es so aktuell, so umfassend und zugleich so kompakt nirgendwo anders gibt. In 89 Kapiteln werden wichtige Konzepte wie z.B. Kognition, Aufmerksamkeit, Arbeitsgedächtnis, Kreativität, Handlungsplanung oder Textverstehen vorgestellt. Geordnet sind die Beiträge nach den großen Bereichen Wahrnehmung, Lernen, Gedächtnis, Denken, Handlungsplanung und -steuerung sowie Sprache. Zusätzlich gibt es eine Sektion, in der übergreifende Konzepte wie Bewusstsein, Intelligenz oder Zeit dargestellt werden. Ein weiterer Abschnitt des Handbuches erläutert spezifische Methoden der Kognitionsforschung wie z.B. mentale Chronometrie, lautes Denken oder Pupillometrie. Die Kenntnis dieses Stoffes ist nicht nur für Studierende nützlich, sondern hilft in dieser kompakten Form auch Experten, sich über den neuesten Stand in Nachbargebieten kurz und kompetent zu informieren.
Health Behaviour and Health Promotion in a Public Health Psychology
Health psychology is frequently described as behaviour-oriented, public health as system-oriented. This study examines how political participation and health behaviour of individuals on one hand and system behaviour in terms of healthy policy on the other may represent common issues to the two fields. Theoretically it refers to social ecology and health promotion approaches such as community psychology and WHO's Ottawa Charter. Empirically, data gathered within the EU-Biomed2-Project MAREPS in population and policymaker surveys in Belgium, Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain and Switzerland are analysed. Besides political participation, results relate to breast cancer early detection, smoking prevention, and physical activity promotion. It is concluded that the co-production of health by policymakers and populations calls for analysis and evaluation of contextual factors for health behaviour and multilevel health promotion action within a public health psychology.
Kognition und Technologie im kooperativen Lernen
English summary: Knowledge has become one of the most important resources in many economic, technological and academic domains. To understand the impact and potential of this development towards a knowledge-based economy and technology in the respective fields, we have to take a closer look at the processes responsible for bringing about new knowledge. Work in this field reveals that cooperative forms of learning are among the major sources of such knowledge. Consequently, this book supports the claim that learning is a process of cooperative knowledge creation and not simply a process of knowledge transfer. The focus of the collection of articles in this book is on how communication, cooper...
