Double Exposure examines the role of film in shaping
social psychology's landmark postwar experiments. We are told that
most of us will inflict electric shocks on a fellow citizen when
ordered to do ...so. Act as a brutal prison guard when we put on a
uniform. Walk on by when we see a stranger in need. But there is
more to the story. Documentaries that investigators claimed as
evidence were central to capturing the public imagination. Did they
provide an alibi for twentieth century humanity? Examining the
dramaturgy, staging and filming of these experiments, including
Milgram's Obedience Experiments, the Stanford Prison Experiment and
many more, Double Exposure recovers a new set of
narratives.
In the long nineteenth century, dominant stereotypes presented people of the Mediterranean South as particularly passionate and unruly, therefore incapable of adapting to the moral and political ...duties imposed by European civilization and modernity. This book studies, for the first time in comparative perspective, the gender dimension of a process that legitimised internal hierarchies between North and South in the continent. It also analyses how this phenomenon was responded to from Spain and Italy, pointing to the similarities and differences between both countries. Drawing on travel narratives, satires, philosophical works, novels, plays, operas, and paintings, it shows how this transnational process affected, in changing historical contexts, the ways in which nation, gender, and modernity were imagined and mutually articulated.
A timely and provocative discussion of alienation as an
intersectional category of life under racial capitalism and white
supremacy
From the divisiveness of the Trump era to the Covid-19 pandemic,
...alienation has become an all-too-familiar contemporary concept. In
this groundbreaking book, James A. Tyner offers a novel framework
for understanding the alienated subject, situating it within racial
capitalism and white supremacy. Directly addressing current
economic trends and their rhetoric of xenophobia, discrimination,
and violence, The Alienated Subject exposes the universal
whitewashing of alienation.
Drawing insight from a variety of sources, including Marxism,
feminism, existentialism, and critical race theory, Tyner develops
a critique of both the liberal subject and the alienated subject.
Through an engagement with the recent pandemic and the Black Lives
Matter movement, he demonstrates how the alienated subject is
capable of both compassion and cruelty; it is a sadomasochist.
Tyner goes on to emphasize the importance of the particular places
we find the alienated subject and how the revolutionary
transformation of alienation is inherently a spatial struggle.
Returning to key interlocutors from Sartre to Fromm, he examines
political notions of distance and the spatial practices of everyday
life as well as the capitalist conditions that give rise to the
alienated subject.
For Tyner, the alienated subject is not the iconic, romanticized
image of Marx's proletariat. Here he calls for an affirmation of
love as a revolutionary concept, necessary for the transformation
of a society marred by capitalism into an emancipated, caring
society conditioned by socially just relations.
This book provides a comprehensive, interdisciplinary and holistic analysis of the socio-psychological dynamics of intractable conflicts. Daniel Bar-Tal's original conceptual framework is supported ...by evidence drawn from different disciplines, including empirical data and illustrative case studies. His analysis rests on the premise that intractable conflicts share certain socio-psychological foundations, despite differences in context and other characteristics. He describes a full cycle of intractable conflicts - their outbreak, escalation and reconciliation through peace building. Bar-Tal's framework provides a broad theoretical view of the of the socio-psychological repertoire that develops in the course of long-term and violent conflicts, outlines the factors affecting its formation, demonstrates how it is maintained, points out its functions and describes its consequences. The book also elaborates on the contents, processes and other factors involved in the peace building process.

Bitter personal experience and meta‐analysis converge on the conclusion that people do not always do the things that they intend to do. This paper synthesizes research on intention–behavior relations ...to address questions such as: How big is the intention–behavior gap? When are intentions more or less likely to get translated into action? What kinds of problems prevent people from realizing their intentions? And what strategies show promise in closing the intention–behavior gap and helping people do the things that they intend to do?
We outline the need to, and provide a guide on how to, conduct a meta‐analysis on one's own studies within a manuscript. Although conducting a “mini meta” within one's manuscript has been argued for ...in the past, this practice is still relatively rare and adoption is slow. We believe two deterrents are responsible. First, researchers may not think that it is legitimate to do a meta‐analysis on a small number of studies. Second, researchers may think a meta‐analysis is too complicated to do without expert knowledge or guidance. We dispel these two misconceptions by (1) offering arguments on why researchers should be encouraged to do mini metas, (2) citing previous articles that have conducted such analyses to good effect, and (3) providing a user‐friendly guide on calculating some meta‐analytic procedures that are appropriate when there are only a few studies. We provide formulas for calculating effect sizes and converting effect sizes from one metric to another (e.g., from Cohen's d to r), as well as annotated Excel spreadsheets and a step‐by‐step guide on how to conduct a simple meta‐analysis. A series of related studies can be strengthened and better understood if accompanied by a mini meta‐analysis.

From a highly respected thinker on race, gender, and American politics, a new consideration of Black women and how distorted stereotypes affect their political beliefs.
RESUMO: O presente artigo tem como objetivo discutir as contribuições teóricas de Virgínia Leone Bicudo e Neusa Santos Souza para o campo da Psicologia Social, bem como refletir sobre o modo como uma ...política de circulação dos conhecimentos científicos age de modo a resistir a essas contribuições. Metodologicamente, este artigo se orienta a partir de uma meta-análise qualitativa. Os resultados apontam que desnaturalizar a não-presença da população negra nos espaços de produção de conhecimento, trazer à tona suas produções intelectuais e, ainda, suas experiências enquanto sujeitos ativos da história, é urgente para a transformação desse cenário e, sobretudo, para uma democratização efetiva das universidades e do conhecimento. Por isso, conclui-se que as produções de Bicudo e Souza podem ser um recurso para se pensar sobre a emergência da construção de uma Psicologia Social Antirracista, rompendo com as matrizes colonialistas e as lógicas maniqueístas.
A revista Psicología & Sociedade é o principal veículo de comiuiicag-ao da ABRAPSO.

A presente pesquisa tem por objetivo mapear a historia da Psicología & Sociedade, no período de 1986 até 2001, assim como a publicacño de artigos relacionados á esquizoanálise. Como método, utiliza-se a cartografía, cunhada por Deleuze e Guattari, para a construfao de run mapa em movimento na experimentapao apoiada no real. O passeio esquizo permitiu narrar a historia da revista, por meio da expressäo de atores, afetos e memorias, dando visibilidade á hita pela construf ao da ABRAPSO e da revista. As publicapoes relacionadas á esquizoanálise emergiram a partir de 1987, por meio da citacño dos autores, de obras e de conceitos.
