The Attributes: 25 Hidden Drivers of Optimal Performance
by Rich DivineyDo you have what it takes to succeed in any situation? According to a retired commander who ran training for Navy SEALs, true optimal performance goes beyond just skill. It&’s all about THE ATTRIBUTES.&“Diviney&’s incredible book explains why some people thrive—even when things get hard.&”—Charles Duhigg, New York Times bestselling author of The Power of HabitDuring his twenty years as a Navy officer and SEAL, Rich Diviney was intimately involved in a specialized SEAL selection process, which whittled a group of hundreds of extraordinary candidates down to a handful of the most elite performers. Diviney was often surprised by which candidates washed out and which succeeded. Some could have all the right skills and still fail, while others he might have initially dismissed would prove to be top performers. The seemingly objective criteria weren&’t telling him what he most needed to know: Who would succeed in one of the world&’s toughest military assignments?It is similarly hard to predict success in the real world. It happens often enough that underdog students accomplish exceptional achievements while highly skilled, motivated employees fail to meet expectations. Dark-horse companies pull away from the pack while dream teams flush with talent and capital go under. In working with and selecting top special operators for decades, Diviney saw that beneath obvious skills are hidden drivers of performance, surprising core attributes—including cunning, adaptability, courage, even narcissism—that determine how resilient or perseverant we are, how situationally aware and how conscientious. These attributes explain how we perform as individuals and as part of a team. The same methodology that Diviney used in the military can be applied by anyone in their personal and professional lives, and understanding these attributes can allow readers and their teams to perform optimally, at any time, in any situation.Diviney defines the core attributes in fresh and practical ways and shares stories from the military, business, sports, relationships, and even parenting to show how understanding your own attributes and those of the people around you can create optimal performance in all areas of your life.
Attribution: An Introduction to Theories, Research and Applications (Social Psychology: A Modular Course)
by Friedrich FörsterlingAttribution concerns the scientific study of naive theories and common-sense explanations. This text provides a thorough and up-to-date introduction to the field, combining comprehensive coverage of the fundamental theoretical ideas and most significant research with an overview of more recent developments. The author begins with a broad overview of the central questions and basic assumptions of attribution research. This is followed by discussion of the ways in which causal explanations determine reactions to success or failure and how our causal explanations of other people's actions shape our behaviour toward them. The manner in which attributions may shape communication, and how people often quite indirectly communicate their beliefs about causality, is also explained. Finally, the issue of changing causal connections in training and therapy is addressed. With end of chapter summaries, further reading and exercises to illustrate key attribution phenomena, Attribution will be essential reading for students of social psychology and associated areas such as personality, educational, organisational and clinical psychology.
Attribution Theory: Applications to Achievement, Mental Health, and Interpersonal Conflict
by Sandra Graham Valerie S. FolkesThis unusual volume begins with a historical overview of the growth of attribution theory, setting the stage for the three broad domains of application that are addressed in the remainder of the book. These include applications to: achievement strivings in the classroom and the sports domain; issues of mental health such as analyses of stress and coping and interpretations of psychotherapy; and personal and business conflict such as buyer- seller disagreement, marital discord, dissension in the workplace, and international strife. Because the chapters in Attribution Theory are more research-based than practice- oriented, this book will be of great interest and value to an audience of applied psychologists.

This collection, the first dedicated entirely to examining the lives of au pairs, traces their experiences across five continents showing how this form of domestic labour and childcare is thriving in the twenty-first century.
Audience: Marketing in the Age of Subscribers, Fans and Followers
by Jeffrey K. RohrsProprietary audience development is now a core marketing responsibility.Every company needs audiences to survive. They are where you find new customers and develop more profitable relationships. And yet, most companies today treat their email, mobile, and social media audiences like afterthoughts instead of the corporate assets they are. With AUDIENCE, Jeff Rohrs seeks to change this dynamic through adoption of The Audience Imperative. This powerful mandate challenges all companies to use their paid, owned, and earned media to not only sell in the short-term but also increase the size, engagement, and value of their proprietary audiences over the long-term. As content marketing professionals have discovered, the days of "build it and they will come" are long gone. If you're looking for a way to gain a lasting advantage over your competition, look no further and start building your email, Facebook, Google, Instagram, mobile app, SMS, Twitter, website, and YouTube audiences to last.
The Audience and Its Landscape (Cultural Studies)
by James HayThis book offers a major reconceptualization of the term “audience,” including the landscape of a given audience—the situated and territorializing features of any way of seeing and defining the world. Given de Certeau's hypothesis that listening, watching, and reading all occur in places and result in produce transformed paths or spaces, the contributors to this landmark volume have provided innovative essays analyzing the transformations that take place in the geography between sender and receiver. The book acknowledges, in the face of conventional “discourse analysis,” the contextual features of discourse, to produce a complex and textured understanding of the concept of audience.The Audience and Its Landscape, presents the work of a vital cross-section of international scholars including Sweden's Karl Erik Rosengren, the UK's Jay G. Blumler and Roger Silverstone, Australia's Tony Bennett, Israel's Elihu Katz, Canada's Martin Allor, and the United States's Janice Radway, Byron Reeves, and John Fisk, to name a few. This book is truly groundbreaking in its depth and scope, and will speak to students of rhetoric, mass communication, cultural studies, anthropology, and sociology alike.
Audience Development and Cultural Policy (New Directions in Cultural Policy Research)
by Steven HadleyEncouraging more – and different – people to attend the arts remains a vital issue for the cultural sector. The question of who consumes culture, and why, is key to our understanding of the arts. This book examines the relationship of audience development to cultural policy and offers a ground-breaking perspective on how the practice of audience development is connected to ideas of democratic access to culture. Providing a detailed overview of arts marketing, audience development and cultural democracy, the book argues that the work of audience development has been profoundly misunderstood by the field of arts management. Drawing from a rich range of interviews with key individuals in the audience development field, the book argues for a re-conceptualisation of audience development as an ideological function of cultural policy. Of importance for students, academics and researchers working in arts management and cultural policy, the book is also vital reading for anyone working in the arts, cultural and heritage sectors with an interest in understanding how our relationship with the audience has been constructed.
The Audiovisual Chord: Embodied Listening in Film (Palgrave Studies in Sound)
by Martine HuvenneThis book is a phenomenological approach to film sound and film as a whole, bringing all sensory impressions together within the body as a sense of movement. This includes embodied listening, felt sound and the audiovisual chord as a dynamic knot of visual and auditory movements. From this perspective, auditory spaces in film can be used as a pivot between an inner and an external world.
Audiovisual Tourism Promotion: A Critical Overview

Audit Studies: Behind the Scenes with Theory, Method, and Nuance (Methodos Ser. #14)
by S. Michael GaddisThis book offers practical instruction on the use of audit studies in the social sciences. It features essays from sociologists, economists, and other experts who have employed this powerful and flexible tool. Readers will learn how to implement an audit study to examine a variety of questions in their own research. The essays first discuss situations where audit studies are the most effective. These tools allow researchers to make strong causal claims and explore questions that are often difficult to answer with observational data. Audit studies also stand as the single best way to conduct research on discrimination. The authors highlight what these studies have uncovered about labor market processes in the past decade. The next section gives some guidance on how to design an audit study. The essays cover the difficult task of getting a study through an institutional review board, the technical setup of matching procedures, and statistical power and analysis techniques. The last part focuses on more advanced aspects. Coverage includes understanding context, what variables may signal, and the use of technology. The book concludes with a discussion of challenges and limitations with an eye towards the future of audit studies.“Field experiments studying and testing for housing and labor market discrimination have, rightly, become the dominant mode of discrimination-related research in economics and sociology. This book brings together a number of interesting and useful perspectives on these field experiments. Many different kinds of readers will find it valuable, ranging from those interested in getting an overview of the evidence, to researchers looking for guidance on the nuts and bolts of conducting these complex experiments.”David Neumark, Chancellor’s Professor of Economics at the University of California – Irvine“For decades, researchers have used experimental audit studies to uncover discrimination in a variety of markets. Although this approach has become more popular in recent years, few publications provide detailed information on the design and implementation of the method. This volume provides the first deep examination of the audit method, with details on the practical, political, analytical, and theoretical considerations of this research. Social scientists interested in consuming or contributing to this literature will find this volume immensely useful.” Devah Pager, Professor of Sociology and Public Policy at Harvard University

Auf der Suche nach dem katholischen Arbeitermädchen vom Lande: Religion und Bildungserfolg im regionalen, historischen und internationalen Vergleich
by Marcel Helbig Thorsten SchneiderBeeinflussen Religionen und Religionsgemeinschaften - vermittelt über Lebensführung, Werthaltungen, Minderheitenstatus, gemeinschaftliche Aktivitäten und Ressourcen - den Bildungserfolg von Kindern in industrialisierten Gesellschaften? Zur Beantwortung dieser Fragen knüpfen die Autoren unter anderem an die in den Nachkriegsjahren in Westdeutschland geführten Diskussionen zum katholischen Bildungsdefizit und zur Kunstfigur des ,,katholischen Arbeitermädchens vom Lande" sowie an amerikanische Studien zur Bedeutung von Aktivitäten in Religionsgemeinschaften für die Generierung von Sozialkapital an. In dem Buch werden neue Analysen zu den 1960er Jahren in Westdeutschland, aktuelle Befunde zu Deutschland und Ergebnisse zu 19 europäischen Ländern präsentiert. Das Buch enthält somit eine umfassende Analyse zum Zusammenhang von Religion und Bildung und räumt dabei auch mit einigen Mythen dieser Forschungsrichtung auf.
Aufführen – Aufzeichnen – Anordnen
by Monika Ankele Céline Kaiser Sophie LedeburAufführen, Aufzeichnen und Anordnen sind Kernoperationen von Psychiatrie und Psychotherapie, deren Zusammenspiel die Beiträge dieses Bandes reflektieren. Aus der Art und Weise wie und auf welchen Ebenen diese Praktiken ineinandergreifen und sich wechselweise bedingen, ergeben sich neue Einsichten in eine Mediengeschichte von Psychiatrie und Psychotherapie. Neben Beiträgen von PraktikerInnen versammelt der Band Forschungsansätze der Arts-based inquiry ebenso wie medizin- und wissenshistorische, kultur-, literatur- und medienwissenschaftliche Perspektiven. Auf diese Weise gelingt es, theoretische Fragestellungen anhand historischer Fallanalysen zu erörtern und Verbindungen zu aktuellen Forschungsfragen zu schlagen.
Aufwachsen fernab der Eltern: Anvertrauung in Burkina Faso (Migrationsgesellschaften)
by Hannah NiedenführIn Burkina Faso stellt Migration den gesellschaftlichen Normalfall dar. Auch Kinder migrieren im Rahmen ihrer Anvertrauung, einer sozialen Praxis, bei der Kinder bei anderen als ihren leiblichen Eltern aufwachsen. In diesem Buch wird untersucht, warum und auf welche Weise die Anvertrauung praktiziert wird. Vergleichend werden dabei zwei Formen der Anvertrauung gegenübergestellt: die traditionelle Anvertrauung an Verwandte und Bekannte und die religiöse Anvertrauung an Koranlehrer. Unter Beachtung einer insgesamt hohen gesellschaftlichen Vulnerabilität werden die Funktionen der beiden Formen der Anvertrauung für die beteiligten Personen und die Gesellschaft als Ganzes untersucht. Ebenso wird analysiert, welche institutionellen und zivilgesellschaftlichen Akteure im Rahmen der Prozesse des gesellschaftlichen Aushandelns der Anvertrauung in welcher Weise zur Beibehaltung, Änderung oder Bekämpfung dieser sozialen Praxis beitragen und welche Positionierungen, Handlungen und Prozesse ineinandergreifen, die sich bedingen, parallel oder auch konträr zueinander verlaufen.
Aufwachsen im Migrationskontext ((Re-)konstruktionen - Internationale und Globale Studien)
by Banu ÇıtlakDie Bedingungen des Aufwachsens im Migrationskontext sind in Deutschland sowohl in Wissenschaft als auch in der Praxis durch eine ethnozentrische Außensicht geprägt. Daher ist die Bewertung familiärer Verbundenheit, sozialer Mobilität, sozialräumlicher Realität und muslimischer Religiosität kritisch zu hinterfragen. Der Band untersucht die familiäre Verbundenheit als begründete Reaktion auf die Lebenswirklichkeit von Migrationsfamilien, die soziale Mobilität vom „Bildungsaufstieg“ isoliert und ihr die transnational aufgespannte familiäre Anerkennungsstruktur entgegenhält. Enttarnt wird die sozialräumliche Segregation als konstruierte Wirklichkeit. Dieser Konstruktion setzt die Autorin durch ein „Doing-Plural-Communities“ ein Konzept der gelebten Diversität entgegen.
Augmented and Mixed Reality for Communities
by Joshua A. FisherUsing mixed and augmented reality in communities is an emerging media practice that is reshaping how we interact with our cities and neighbors. From the politics of city hall to crosswalks and playgrounds, mixed and augmented reality will offer a diverse range of new ways to interact with our communities. In 2016, apps for augmented reality politics began to appear in app stores. Similarly, the blockbuster success of Pokémon Go illustrated how even forgotten street corners can become a magical space for play. In 2019, a court case in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, extended first amendment rights to augmented reality. For all the good that these emerging media provide, there will and have been consequences. Augmented and Mixed Reality for Communities will help students and practitioners navigate the ethical design and development of these kinds of experiences to transform their cities. As one of the first books of its kind, each chapter in the book prepares readers to contribute to the Augmented City. By providing insight into how these emerging media work, the book seeks to democratize the augmented and mixed reality space.Authors within this volume represent some of the leading scholars and practitioners working in the augmented and mixed reality space for civic media, cultural heritage, civic games, ethical design, and social justice. Readers will find practical insights for the design and development to create their own compelling experiences. Teachers will find that the text provides in-depth, critical analyses for thought-provoking classroom discussions.
