Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Literature Review from the year 2017 in the subject Psychology - Social Psychology, grade: 1,7, Lund University (Department of Psychology), language: English, abstract: The concept of the growth mindset has become better known over the last years and is presented as an important key factor determining failure and success (Dweck, 2006). This paper evaluates the current research on Dweck's mindset theory as well as its scientific foundation. The main goal of this paper is to critically review the concept of the growth mindset and rate its status appropriately. By taking a closer look at the used methods and statistical inferences, the paper reassesses the science behind the growth mindset and discusses if its application has gone beyond the data.It ascertains an existing discrepancy in the literature regarding the efficacy of mindset intervention and concludes that mindset interventions can be helpful and effective, however not to the degree as pledged. The growth mindset remains an interesting phenomenon which needs future research to clarify if it is benificial at all, and if so under which conditions. With regard to the current replication crisis, Dweck's research serves as a good example which needs replication, using proper statistical methods and interpretation.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Master's Thesis from the year 2018 in the subject Psychology - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,0, Lund University (Department of Psychology), language: English, abstract: Climate change has become one of the greatest concerns of the 21st century as its ramifications pose a major risk to all life on earth. However, not all individuals are aware of this risk and behavioral engagement to counteract the issue is often still lacking. This research examined the relationship between climate change risk perception and pro-environmental behavior. The aim of this cross-sectional study was twofold. First, studying specific pro-environmental behavior and second, using a methodological approach that addresses the measurement inconsistencies in the literature on how to define and operationalize climate change risk perception. The sample consisted of 141 young educated adults (M = 25.67, SD = 2.93) who responded to an online questionnaire. Results showed that climate change risk perception significantly predicted pro-environmental behavior. Comparing personal worry and general concern as two distinct indicators of climate change risk perception indicated that personal worry was stronger correlated to pro-environmental behavior. This relationship was found to be partially mediated by pro-environmental behavioral intentions. Results of a multiple hierarchical regression showed that including personal worry as an additional predictor variable did not significantly increase the explained variance in pro-environmental behavior, after having controlled for variables from the theory of planned behavior (attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control) and the norm-activation model (personal norms). The findings extend the current literature and contribute to a further understanding of why and how humans behave pro-environmentally. Future researchers are encouraged to study the individual drivers of climate change more closely.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2016 im Fachbereich Psychologie - Sonstiges, Note: 2,7, Hochschule Fresenius; Köln, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Diese Querschnittsstudie untersucht den Zusammenhang zwischen Kohärenzgefühl, Stressempfinden und Coping bei Studierenden. Die empirische Forschung der Arbeit basiert dabei auf der Grundannahme, dass ein stark ausgeprägtes Kohärenzgefühl zu geringem Stressempfinden führt und einzelne Coping-Strategien diesen Zusammenhang moderieren.Die Stichprobe basiert auf einer einmaligen Befragung und besteht aus 443 Studierenden im Alter von 18-33 Jahren. Die Rekrutierung erfolgte ausschließlich online über das soziale Netzwerk Facebook. Für die Datenerhebung werden zwei validierte Messinstrumente verwendet: der Fragebogen zur Lebensorientierung von Antonovsky (1987) und das Stress- und Coping-Inventar von Satow (2012). Sie erheben das Kohärenzgefühl, das aktuelle Stressempfinden und verwendete Coping-Strategien (Positives Denken, Aktive Stressbewältigung, Soziale Unterstützung, Halt im Glauben und Alkohol- und Zigarettenkonsum).Für die Prüfung der genannten Hypothesen werden eine Korrelation, eine Moderatoranalyse und eine multiple Regression durchgeführt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass das Kohärenzgefühl stark negativ mit Stressempfinden zusammenhängt, sich keine der erhobenen Coping-Strategien signifikant auf den Zusammenhang zwischen dem Kohärenzgefühl und dem Stressempfinden auswirkt und Coping durch soziale Unterstützung von allen Coping-Strategien am besten zur Vorhersage des Stressempfindens geeignet ist. Aus den Ergebnissen lässt sich ableiten, dass ein hohes Kohärenzgefühl bei Studierenden für eine gering empfundene Stressbelastung entscheidend ist. …
