Psicologia da Mídia
Este livro trata de uma área importante da psicologia, a psicologia da mídia. Apesar de ser reconhecida internacionalmente, ainda carece de pesquisas no país e principalmente de livros. Exploramos vários assuntos atuais nesta área, como a influência dos videogames nos comportamentos, as redes sociais, a música, a mídia televisiva, os aplicativos de namoro e suas relações com comportamentos sexuais de risco, agressão e comportamentos pró-sociais.

Partindo de um capítulo sobre a história da moderna psicologia social, os autores abordam temas como a psicologia social transcultural, métodos de pesquisa na área, valores humanos, cognição, identidade, teoria das representações sociais e psicologia política, entre outros tópicos atuais. Contextualizado à realidade brasileira, este livro organizado por Cláudio Vaz Torres e Elaine Rabelo Neiva, professores da Universidade de Brasília, também pode ser encontrado no formato e-book.
Learning from Video Games (and Everything Else)
Video games can have many effects on players, some of which could be intentional effects (e.g., games designed to train health compliance behaviors), and most of which are unintentional (e.g., violent games, stereotypes, gaming disorder). Some of these areas of research have been seen as controversial, but many of the controversies can be at least partially resolved by considering the learning mechanisms underlying the effects. We describe the General Learning Model in greater detail than has been provided elsewhere, including short-term and long-term mechanisms, processes of learning and forgetting, and moderators of learning. Video games use many of the best practices to train for both mastery and for transfer of learning. The implications for re-interpreting the literature on violent video games and gaming disorder, as well as for applied social psychology broadly defined, are discussed.
Predicting Cyberbullying
Predicting Cyberbullying: Research, Theory, and Intervention delves into the theoretical advances that have been made to predict cyberbullying perpetration. It examines myriad psychological- and communication-based theories, discusses the relevant research to support (or not) each theory, and elucidates the strengths and limitations of these theories. Moreover, the book differentiates cyberbullying from traditional bullying to expand on a theory that takes such differences into account to predict perpetration. In addition, it adapts interventions to address these nuanced theoretical advancements and concludes with an examination of validated psychological theories that can inform interventions and reduce cyberbullying. The book is an effective and concise reference for psychologists, school administrators, counselors and psychological researchers looking to understand theory and interventions for cyberbullies. Focuses on the cyberbully perpetrator Balances theory with interventional applications Identifies key risk factors in those who cyberbully Explores the scope of theoretically driven hypotheses specific to cyberbullying
Nonparametric Regression and Spline Smoothing, Second Edition
Provides a unified account of the most popular approaches to nonparametric regression smoothing. This edition contains discussions of boundary corrections for trigonometric series estimators; detailed asymptotics for polynomial regression; testing goodness-of-fit; estimation in partially linear models; practical aspects, problems and methods for confidence intervals and bands; local polynomial regression; and form and asymptotic properties of linear smoothing splines.
Dynamic Risk Factors
Dynamic risk factors are the children of risk prediction. They were identified to help practitioners assess risk of recidivism and to set treatment targets likely to reduce reoffending. This resulted in the development of intervention programs designed to modify the characteristics of individuals and their environments associated with crime. The predictive nature of their legacy lies in their ability to provide reliable information about the likelihood of future reoffending. In this respect, dynamic risk factors are useful complements to static risk factors such as age, gender, and history of offending, and add incremental validity to recidivism prediction. Their treatment utility resides in...
Power and Identity
The concepts of power and identity are vital to many areas of social research. In this edited collection, a prominent set of contributors explore the double relationship between power and group identity, focusing on two complementary lines of enquiry: In what ways can the powerful dictate the identities of the powerless? How can the powerless redefine their identity to challenge the powerful? Each chapter is written by leading authorities in the field, and investigates a particular aspect of the interplay of identity and power via a range of empirical contexts such as colonialism, nationalism, collective action, and electoral politics. The case studies include early modern Goa under Portugue...
Interface Vol 11
Interface is the electronic journal of the Berglund Center for Internet Studies at Pacific University, Oregon. The Berglund Center facilitates both theoretical discussion and practical action relating to the impact of the Internet upon individuals and their communities worldwide. We are interested in the effects of the Internet on the ways we work, communicate, teach, and learn. This journal is a presentation of articles as they were presented through our website (bcis.pacificu.edu) during the 2011 calendar year. Articles on Gaming, Social Networking, Politics, Education, Computing and Computer Technology are a few of the areas presented by a wide variety of authors.
Permanent Establishment
A new edition of the preeminent work on the permanent establishment (PE) is a major event in tax law scholarship. Taking into account changes in judicial and administrative practice as well as the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (OECD’s) and the United Nation’s (UN’s) work in the three decades since the first edition, the present study brings the analysis up to date with the current internationally accepted interpretation of PE. The analysis is based on more than 720 cases from more than 20 countries, in addition to the OECD and UN model treaties and more than 630 books, articles, and official documents. The increased significance of the digital economy has r...
