Cross-Cultural Research Methods in Psychology by David Matsumoto and Fons J R van de Vijver

Cross-Cultural Research Methods in Psychology

David Matsumoto, Fons J. R. van de Vijver, "Cross-Cultural Research Methods in Psychology"
Cambridge University Press | 2011 | ISBN: 0521758424, 0521765250 | 404 pages | PDF | 3 MB  

Book Description :
Cross-cultural research is now an undeniable part of mainstream psychology and has had a major impact on conceptual models of human behavior. Although it is true that the basic principles of social psychological methodology and data analysis are applicable to cross-cultural research, there are a number of issues that are distinct to it, including managing incongruities of language and quantifying cultural response sets in the use of scales. Cross-Cultural Research Methods in Psychology provides state-of-the-art knowledge about the methodological problems that need to be addressed if a researcher is to conduct valid and reliable cross-cultural research. It also offers practical advice and examples of solutions to those problems and is a must-read for any student of culture.

The Living Mind From Psyche to Consciousness by Richard Dien Winfield

The Living Mind: From Psyche to Consciousness

Richard Dien Winfield "The Living Mind: From Psyche to Consciousness"
ISBN: 1442211555 | 2011 | PDF, EPUB | 328 pages | 4 MB  

Sobat, satu buku lagi tentang Konsep Psikologi dari Richard Dien. Buku ini dapat sobat download secara gratis di http://adf.ly/HDTkO

Deskripsi Buku :
As enthusiasm for computational models of the mind has waned and the revolution in neuroscience has progressed, attention in philosophy and cognitive science has shifted toward more biological approaches. The Living Mind establishes that mind cannot be immaterial or reduced to mechanistic or cybernetic processes, but must instead possess a subjectivity embodied in an animal organism. On this basis, the work proceeds to show why mind involves a pre-conscious psyche, a non-discursive consciousness and self-consciousness, and an intelligence overcoming the opposition of consciousness. In so doing, The Living Mind provides a detailed account of the psyche and consciousness, paving the way for conceiving the psychological enabling conditions of rational theory and practice.

Executive Intelligence - The Leader's Edge by Irving H Buchen

Executive Intelligence: The Leader's Edge
Irving H. Buchen, "Executive Intelligence: The Leader's Edge"
2011 | ISBN-10: 1610480783, 1610480775 | PDF | 256 pages | 3,7 MB

Sobat, buku ini merupakan salah satu buku tentang kepemimpinan. Buku ini dapat sobat download di : http://adf.ly/HDHjE

Deskripsi Buku :
Executive Intelligence zeros in on leadership smarts and notes that in all lists compiled by leadership experts, head hunters, and boards of directors the one and only trait that appears in all is intelligence. Obvious? No, because typically leadership savvy regularly trumps smarts. That is unfortunate because it obscures the cultivation and development of how leaders think, speculate, conceive, and problem solve their own firms and the way they lead. Executive intelligence like emotional intelligence acts like an advanced scout sizing up situations, identifying mine fields, creating contingencies, developing last minute ways out, and then acting like the artful dodger. In the process, the leader develops a special kind of intelligence tied to and defining the kind if leader he or she is; and that ultimately generates the leader's edge and comparative advantage.

The Power of Habit Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business by Charles Duhigg

Charles Duhigg, "The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business"
R..dom H..se | 2012 | ISBN: 1400069289 | 400 pages | epub, mobi | 2 MB

Bagi sobat yang ingin mengaktualisasi diri, buku The Power of Habit dapat membantu sobat, dengan secangkir coklat panas...pasti mantap !! Buku ini dapat didownload di http://adf.ly/HD0no

Deskripsi Buku : 
In The Power of Habit, award-winning New York Times business reporter Charles Duhigg takes us to the thrilling edge of scientific discoveries that explain why habits exist and how they can be changed. With penetrating intelligence and an ability to distill vast amounts of information into engrossing narratives, Duhigg brings to life a whole new understanding of human nature and its potential for transformation.

Along the way we learn why some people and companies struggle to change, despite years of trying, while others seem to remake themselves overnight. We visit laboratories where neuroscientists explore how habits work and where, exactly, they reside in our brains. We discover how the right habits were crucial to the success of Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, and civil-rights hero Martin Luther King, Jr. We go inside Procter & Gamble, Target superstores, Rick Warren’s Saddleback Church, NFL locker rooms, and the nation’s largest hospitals and see how implementing so-called keystone habits can earn billions and mean the difference between failure and success, life and death.

At its core, The Power of Habit contains an exhilarating argument: The key to exercising regularly, losing weight, raising exceptional children, becoming more productive, building revolutionary companies and social movements, and achieving success is understanding how habits work.

Habits aren’t destiny. As Charles Duhigg shows, by harnessing this new science, we can transform our businesses, our communities, and our lives.
