Constructing Dynamic Triangles Together
Rational thinking as exemplified in mathematical cognition is immensely important in the modern world. This book documents how a group of three eighth-grade girls developed specific group practices typical of such thinking in an online educational experience. A longitudinal case study tracks the team through eight hour-long sessions, following the students' meaning-making processes through their mutual chat responses preserved in computer logs coordinated with their geometric actions. The examination of data focuses on key areas of the team's development: its effective team collaboration, its productive mathematical discourse, its enacted use of dynamic-geometry tools, and its ability to identify and construct dynamic-geometry dependencies. This detailed study of group cognition serves as a paradigmatic example of computer-supported collaborative learning, incorporating a unique model of human-computer interaction analysis applied to the use of innovative educational technology. A valuable resource for researchers, instructors, and students alike, it offers concrete suggestions for improving educational practice.
Construction Migrant Workers in Saudi Arabia
The Coronavirus (COVID-19) disease became a global pandemic at the beginning of 2020. The effects of COVID-19 resulted in restricted measures such as the lockdown and curfew which have affected the population worldwide. These measures have been particularly challenging for foreign workers, who often face cultural and language barriers, financial insecurity, and limited social support networks. This study examines the psychological impact of COVID-19 on non-healthcare migrant workers employed by a construction company in Saudi Arabia, a country that hosts a significant number of international workers from low-income countries. The study used two questionnaires: the DASS-21, which assesses depression, anxiety, and stress, and a self-designed questionnaire to evaluate emotional responses to the lockdown. The present study reveals an increase in negative emotional symptoms among construction migrant workers, particularly during the pandemic period. Our results highlight that these symptoms may lead to more severe mental distress and psychological effects, which can have implications for migrants working in other sectors globally. It is essential to understand the psychological effects on this vulnerable group of people to implement supportive measures as they have substantially contributed to the economy and development of the country.

The Soul in Soulless Psychology
Modern psychology began with a rejection of the 'soul' as relevant for the science. How did that come about? The Soul in Soulless Psychology explores that question and details arguments for a soulless psychology. However, there was also opposition to this notion. This alternative history of psychology examines those who dissented from a 'psychology without a soul, ' including Neoscholastic psychologists and others, such as Ladd, M羹nsterberg, and McDougall. Substitutions for the soul - such as self, personality, and the brain - show that even with the soul absent, its concerns were present. Innovative re-thinkings of the soul are addressed, as well as attempts at restoration of the soul into psychology. Moreover, historical psychologies of the soul kept the soul in view. In the twenty-first century, we find soul as a noun, an adjective, and a verb, all pointing to the necessity of the soul for psychology.
The Sociocultural Context of Romantic Relationships
Embedded within the sociocultural context of romantic relationships are features such as race, culture, neighborhoods, the legal system, and governmental policy. Due to the inherent difficulties with studying large structures and systems, little work has been done at the macro level in relationship science. This volume spotlights the complex interplay between romantic relationships and these structural systems, including varied insights from experts in the field. In turn, more diverse and generalizable research programs on the social ecology of relationships can be developed, helping to facilitate advances in theory. Scholars and students of relationship science in psychology, sociology, communication, and family studies will benefit from these discussions. This title is part of the Flip it Open programme and may also be available Open Access. Check our website Cambridge Core for details.

Tip of the Tongue States
The tip-of-the-tongue state-the feeling that something that we cannot recall is close to coming to mind-is a window onto many facets of the human mind. It lies at an intersection where memory mechanisms, language processes, attention, metacognition, conscious awareness, goal-driven behaviours, curiosity, and even decision-making and risk-taking all seem to cross. In this book, Anne Cleary and Bennett Schwartz explain how tip-of-the-tongue states fit into our overall cognitive systems and what they tell us about the nature of cognition and consciousness. The tip-of-the-tongue state can wield enormous power over our attentional focus and what we choose to do next, regardless of what we had been doing before the onset of the feeling. In short, it wields the ability to redirect our mind. Cleary and Schwartz's text will appeal to students and researchers interested in the workings of the mind and brain.
Funds of Identity
Drawing on research conducted mostly in Catalonia (Spain), Mois癡s Esteban-Guitart outlines a distinct vision of education enhanced by students' identities, which leads to a discussion of the sociocultural factors that shape the processes of learning. He brings these ideas to life by examining traits of a mobile-centric society, the present-day ecology of learning, and his three metaphors of learning (connecting knowledge, connecting minds, and connecting communities). He then suggests a number of basic principles regarding learning for the twenty-first century based on prior literature in the learning sciences. He presents the terms 'funds of identity' and 'meaningful learning experiences', and reviews the funds of knowledge approach and the Vygotskian basis for understanding identity. In the second part of the book, he illustrates a number of strategies for detecting students' funds of identity and their meaningful learning experiences, and describes some practical experiences based on the theoretical framework he adopted.

Emotion Communication by the Aging Face and Body
As our society ages, questions concerning the relations between generations gain importance. The quality of human relations depends on the quality of emotion communication, which is a significant part of our daily interactions. Emotion expressions serve not only to communicate how the expresser feels, but also to communicate intentions (whether to approach or retreat) and personality traits (such as dominance, trustworthiness, or friendliness) that influence our decisions regarding whether and how to interact with a person. Emotion Communication by the Aging Face and Body delineates how aging affects emotion communication and person perception by bringing together research across multiple disciplines. Scholars and graduate students in the psychology of aging, affective science, and social gerontology will benefit from this over-view and theoretical framework.

Encouraging Marital Stability Among Christians
Marriages today face many challenges from various aspects of life. While some succumb to pressure and end, others flourish beautifully. This contrast raises the question: what contributes to marital stability? Some have attributed it to counseling in marriage and family life. This study, therefore, examined the role of premarital and marital counseling in the stability of Christian marriages in Adenta, a suburb of Accra. Structured data collection tools were used to randomly sample respondents. An interview guide was also employed to gather qualitative data from key informants, such as counselors and religious leaders, to gain judgmental and humanistic insights into the relationships between the variables studied. Overall, the findings indicate that premarital counseling has positively impacted marital stability among Christians in the area.
Donor-Linked Families in the Digital Age
How are siblings who were conceived using the same sperm or egg donor making connections in the absence of legal support? What is it like to discover you are part of a 50+ donor sibling group? How are donor conceived adults using new technologies to connect with genetic family and explore their identity? This edited collection considers the donor linking experiences of donor conceived adults and children, recipient parents, and donors in a global context. It includes contributions from legal academics, social workers, sociologists, psychologists, and policy makers who work in the assisted conception field. As a result, it will be of particular interest to scholars of reproductive law, sociology, and digital media and reproductive technologies. It will also engage those following the debate around donor linking and the use of do-it-yourself technologies, including direct-to-consumer genetic testing and social media.
The Psychology Of Nationality And Internationalism

Working Relationally in and Across Practices
Three core ideas are at the heart of this book: relational expertise, the capacity to interpret problems with others; common knowledge, which consists of knowing what matters for professionals in other practices; and relational agency, which involves using that common knowledge to take action with others. These ideas are based in cultural-historical approaches to learning and change, and give coherence to the arguments presented. This is not a recipe book; the ideas are offered as resources for reflecting on and developing professional and research practices, and the conditions in which they occur.

The Architecture of Self
This book embarks on a comprehensive exploration of the intricate interplay between cognitive processes and personality traits, two fundamental pillars of human psychology. We delve into the historical foundations of these fields, examining the seminal contributions of pioneering theorists who laid the groundwork for contemporary understanding. Our approach is rooted in empirical research, drawing from a rich tapestry of studies to illuminate the complex relationship between thought, emotion, and behaviour. We strive to bridge the gap between theoretical constructs and practical applications, providing readers with a nuanced understanding of how cognitive and personality principles manifest in real-world contexts. Through a critical analysis of diverse theoretical perspectives-including psychodynamic, humanistic, cognitive-behavioural, trait, and social-cognitive approaches-we offer a multifaceted view of the human psyche. Complex ideas are presented with clarity and accessibility, aiming to foster a deeper appreciation of the subject matter among students, scholars, and general readers alike. As we navigate the evolving landscape of psychology, we consider the implications of emerging technologies and the ethical challenges that may arise. This book invites readers to engage in critical thinking and to envision the future directions of the field. Ultimately, our goal is to stimulate intellectual curiosity and provide a solid foundation for further exploration of the human mind. Srinivas Katherasala Divya Vadlakonda

Happiness and the Psychology of Enlightenment - An Investigation into Methods and Results
Whilst happiness usually comes from how we think and feel about our life (event-based well-being), enlightenment is an internal experience not sourced from this process (inner well-being). In this volume, we look from a scientific point of view at the different approaches to enlightenment and the practices that trigger it. This includes classical Western approaches to contemplation and aesthetics, Eastern Buddhist notions of satori, modern predictors of self-transcendent experiences, assessments of current practitioners and their characteristics, Christian notions of mysticism, Hindu yoga practices, the neuroscientific correlates of flourishing, and the psychological stages in the journey to enlightenment. We explore the evidence of these states, traits and experiences, the concepts underpinning them, and the affect, cognition and behaviour they transform.

The Anatomy of Boredom
Boredom is a common human experience. It may strike us as straightforward--a mere absence or lack, an emotional emptiness of sorts--yet it is anything but simple. It is complicated: personal and social, biological and cultural, both ever-changing and constant. It can spur action, both productive and harmful. It affects us differently based on our social identity and standing. Boredom is both a mirror of the complexities of human existence and a cause of them. In The Anatomy of Boredom, Andreas Elpidorou offers a groundbreaking examination of this ubiquitous yet enigmatic dimension of human existence, illuminating its profound influence on our personal and social lives. Through interdisciplinary analysis, careful argumentation, and captivating insights, Elpidorou presents a functional theory of boredom, which understands and individuates boredom in terms of its role in our mental, behavioral, and social existence. This theory provides a compelling synthesis of existing research, connects the present of boredom to its history, and allows us to apply our knowledge of boredom to relatively unexplored domains, such as its relationship to the good life, self-regulation and self-control, poverty and capitalism, advancements in AI, animal emotions, and even aesthetics and art appreciation. Ultimately, the study of boredom is revealed to be more than just an analysis of an intricate and important affective experience; it is also shown to be an insightful investigation into the complexities of human (and even non-human) existence.
