Moral Development offers a comprehensive overview of classic and current theories of moral development and applications of these theories in various counseling and educational settings. It examines changes across time and experience in how people understand right and wrong, and individual differences in moral judgements, emotions, and actions. Elizabeth C. Vozzola and Amie K. Senland review the latest research in the field and integrate classic work with contemporary perspectives on assessment and treatment. Part 1 provides an understanding of a range of theories, explaining their strengths and challenges, and offering examples of how these theories apply to helping professionals. It covers Freud, Piaget, Kohlberg, Rest, Gilligan, Nodding, Bandura, Turiel, Nucci, Narvaez, Haidt, and Shweder. Part 2 highlights promising applications of moral development theory in education and counselling. Fully updated with new chapters on faith development and moral and prosocial development in infancy and early childhood, the text explores specific approaches to helping clients with a variety of clinical or developmental challenges and provides an excellent resource for courses addressing the CACREP program objectives for Human Growth and Development. It also integrates issues of gender, ethnicity, and culture throughout to prepare readers for practicing in a global culture and presents a new perspective: the cultural developmental approach. Illustrated throughout with examples that highlight applications of moral development concepts in today's media, it also includes interviews from some of today's leading theorists and practitioners. Ideal as a text for advanced courses on moral development and moral psychology, as well as courses on human, child, social and personality development taught in psychology, counselling, education, human development, family studies, social work, and religion. Its applied approach also appeals to mental health and school counsellors

Modern psychology is a complex discipline demanding a great deal from students, especially when research methodology is the focus. This seventh edition of Research methods in psychology seeks to introduce a broad range of topics dealing with psychological research and analysis as currently practised.

This book aims to improve real-world critical thinking. Traditional critical thinking texts neglect two crucial facts. First, as psychologists have shown, many of our mistakes are caused not by faulty formal reasoning, but because we bypass it in favor of intuitive, often unreliable heuristics. Second, good critical thinking requires not only the proper assessment of inference, but also of our premises: the evaluation of information sources is of fundamental importance, especially in this internet era of fake news and politicized science. This highly innovative text is psychologically informed, both in its diagnosis of inferential errors, and in teaching students how to watch out for, and circumnavigate, their natural intellectual blind spots. It also incorporates insights from epistemology and philosophy of science to formulate best practices for assessing information sources on the internet and other media. The result is a practical, hands-on primer for real-world critical thinking. The authors bring more than five combined decades of classroom experience to the subject, covering the usual core topics of deductive, inductive, causal, and probabilistic inference, argument identification, reconstruction, and diagramming, while also extending the text's scope to include testimony, the nature and credibility of science, rhetoric, and dialectical argumentation. The Second Edition further develops and refines these innovations, combining in depth discussion of "fake news" and conspiracy theories with exercises and projects designed to teach broadly applicable source assessment skills. There is also a more nuanced positive account of science that emphasizes its continuity with commonsense causal reasoning. For instructors, there are additional online resources, notably banks of exam questions with solutions, and various class projects. Key Features: Uses contemporary psychological explanations and remedies for pervasive errors in belief formation. No other critical thinking text generally applies this psychological approach. Rigorously addresses the evaluation of premises based on testimony, in particular, the testimony of internet sources. Carefully explains the concept of validity, paying particular attention to distinguishing logical possibility from other species of possibility. Uses frequency trees as a simple and reliable alternative to more complicated Bayesian methods. Uses arguments maps, which improve students' reasoning and argument evaluation. Key Updates to the Second Edition: Expanded discussion of the psychology of reasoning and belief, including treatment of motivated reasoning. Uses a conventional truth-table based approach to propositional logic, while incorporating a more intuitive, psychologically informed approach to the logic of conditionals. New Summary Boxes. Enhanced treatment of testimony, with an expanded discussion of fake news, conspiracy theories and the application of general epistemic principles to navigate the extremes of gullibility and unmotivated skepticism. New exercises that emphasize practical, hands-on, source assessment skills. An improved discussion of the nature of science emphasizing the central role of causal inference, and the multi-generational, cumulative character of scientific knowledge. A new Index of Arguments, summarizing the most common argument forms and associated defeaters for the inductive forms. New online content, including exams and additional questions (plus solutions), suitable for upload to course management software (e.g., Blackboard etc.)

Intelligible and stimulating, The Problems of Philosophy addresses many issues which have continually surfaced in the field of philosophy. It covers topics such as reality, the nature of matter, inductive reasoning, truth, and the limits of philosophical knowledge. Russell prefers knowledge over metaphysics in his elucidation. Written in 1912, The Problems of Philosophy is as provocative today as it was in the era of its first publication.

Where would humanity be now without fire, vaccinations, farming--or wine? A great idea is one that has changed the path of human civilisation. But which is the greatest of them all? John Farndon, author of the bestselling Do You Think You're Clever?, has set out to find the answer. A distinguished panel of experts agreed on a list of 50 ideas, and each chapter of The World's Greatest Idea sees Farndon explore the argument for a different one. The candidates are intriguingly varied: Electricity grids enable us to power our cities, but then sewers allowed those cities to grow. Without the wheel, modern civilisation would be pretty much impossible, but take away Logic and we'd lose the essential structures for rational thought ... But then what would be the point of all of this without the idea of romance? The World's Greatest Idea is an enthralling voyage of discovery through the most powerful intellectual, social, scientific and creative brainwaves humans have ever had. They are ranked in the book determined by a public vote on www.theworldsgreatestidea.com But will you agree with the verdict?.
