Motivation research has a huge amount to offer in diverse areas of work and life. As with all scientific endeavors, however, it must face the issue of generalizability knowing what works and under what conditions. This book confronts that issue by showcasing both applied snapshots and more basic theory-based enquiries that provide a global picture of contemporary motivation research and its applications. A stellar group of international scholars discuss different theoretical perspectives (e.g., achievement goals, self-determination, cognitive load, control value of achievement emotions, interest, self-efficacy) in diverse contexts (e.g., cooperative learning, help-seeking, teacher education, technology facilitation) to highlight the dynamic interplay between more basic research and real-life practice in classrooms and the workplace. As well as interesting researchers and practitioners in fields related to education and motivation in organizations in general, the book is also suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses.

This monograph provides an overview of recent developments in and new applications for multinomial processing tree (MPT) modeling in cognitive psychology and related fields. Multinomial models are a class of stochastic models tailored to specific research paradigms that allow the measurement of latent cognitive processes underlying observed responses. An introductory review and literature survey in this monograph outlines the family of MPT models, the typical steps in MPT model analyses, the use of MPT models in cognitive psychology, statistical considerations, and computer programs for MPT modeling. Original research articles then present novel MPT modeling approaches in different fields, including episodic memory, binary choice models and 'guessing', and word identification in early reading. Discussions of matters such as cognitive psychometrics and ongoing developments of MPT modeling throughout the contributions clearly demonstrate how active this field of research is and the wide range of applications of multinomial modeling. The Zeitschrift fur Psychologie, founded in 1890, is the oldest psychology periodical in Europe and the second oldest in the world. It will now, with a change in language to English, be published as a series of monographs on basic and applied topics in psychology, each featuring a major overview article, peer-reviewed original research papers, as well as brief 'Research Spotlight' and 'Horizons' reports about ongoing or forthcoming projects. Each carefully compiled monograph is edited by leading experts and features articles by scientists at the forefront of current research.

Cyberbullying is a major and growing phenomenon that may take place by means of mobile devices, websites such as social networking sites or virtual worlds, videos, e-mails, or other means. This monograph brings you up to date with the latest research by leading scientists on this new form of bullying and indicates the directions future investigations may take. An introductory review examines, among other things, the differences and similarities of cyberbullying and traditional bullying. A series of original research papers by leading scientists then cover topics such as power imbalance, prevalence at different ages, 'griefing' in virtual worlds, motivation, interventions, social information processing factors, emotional impact of bullying, risk factors, as well as methodological considerations in cyberbullying research. Further, 'Research Spotlights' present promising, but not yet published results in brief form, 'Opinion Pieces' allow distinguished contributors to air matters of current debate and discussion, and 'Horizons' articles briefly describe major ongoing projects in various countries, such as the European Project on Bullying and Cyberbullying, the 'Kids Online' project, and the Internet Rights Observatory. The Zeitschrift fur Psychologie, founded in 1890, is the oldest psychology periodical in Europe and the second oldest in the world. It will now, with a change in language to English, be published as a series of monographs on basic and applied topics in psychology, each featuring a major overview article, peer-reviewed original research papers, as well as brief 'Research Spotlight' and 'Horizons' reports about ongoing or forthcoming projects.

Cyberbullying: Abusive Relationships in Cyberspace (Zeitschrift Fur Psychologie/Journal of Psychology)

Biological and human-cultural diversity are crucial aspects of sustainable life on this planet, a fact that was recognized by the United Nations which declared 2010 as the International Year of Biodiversity. Managing diversities in urban contexts, where more than half of the world's population currently live, represents a fundamental aim for sustainable urban development. If this is to be achieved it requires collaboration among different scientific and technical disciplines, many of which are represented in this book. Drawing on a diversity of epistemological, theoretical, and methodological approaches is key to understanding people-environment relations and for promoting the quality of urban life. The volume is organized around different research themes, relevant for understanding current trends and future developments in the study of people-urban environment relations, with an emphasis on the key concept of diversity. This is explored in relation to: # Theoretical and methodological approaches # Visual processes and urban landscapes # Urban green spaces # People's lifestyles and urban sustainability # Social groups and inclusive urban environments

The development and application of implicit attitude measures has been one of the most thriving research areas in psychology over the last few decades. This field is united by a shared excitement about the discoveries enabled by these measures, be they related to social attitudes and behavior, clinical disorders, consumer decisions, or self-representations, among others. These approaches bridge sub-disciplines of psychology traditionally characterized by little cross-talk. The variety of implicit measures used is already broad and still growing, given variants and implementations of these implicit measures in different samples and research approaches. This compilation brings together contributions that focus either on the comparison of different implicit measures or on the mechanisms underlying individual ones, to provide an overview of virtues and weaknesses of different approaches.
