Thriving Across the Lifespan and Around the Globe: The Day in the Life Visual Research Approach is the result of several decades of international, pan-disciplinary research-team collaborations using quasi-ecological visual methodologies to investigate the psychosocial development of children in diverse communities. The initial studies highlighted in this work involved filming a 'Day in the Life' of toddlers and primary school children, their families, and schools in diverse communities in Asia, South and North America, and Europe. Filmed in their homes and communities for an entire day, the youngest participants were commonly seen to be thriving in diverse psychosocial domains, such as in their security strivings, emergent literacy and graphic representations, and musicality. Research shows that the nature of a child's development can vary in as many ways as there are diverse contexts. Thriving in the transition from home to primary school is a second developmental milestone investigated in the research. The book serves as an account of the lived experiences of thriving children,among their families, their schools and their communities. The contents give an invaluable insight into the psychology of early childhood while giving the reader an opportunity to understand the resilience of mobile early teenagers as well as independent older adults. The contributions in the book also provide an additional layer to our understanding of visual ethnography by covering such phenomena as agency and communitarianism, spirituality, and the place of humour in the context of challenges encountered across the lifespan. Through presenting quasi-ecological experimental approaches, this reference enhances the reader's insight into the texture and nature of thriving in situ, in natural contexts.

The present book aims to outline a possible interpretation of radical behaviorism as a theory of mind, which means, in other words, to contextualize it in the context of the discussions of the philosophy of mind. What exactly does this contextualization imply? There are possibly many differences between radical behaviorism and the theories that make up the philosophy of mind, including differences in agenda: the first emerges as a proposal for a philosophy of behavioral science, and the second was developed to address issues that have permeated philosophy since its emergence among the Greeks. The meaning of the present context, therefore, is simply to deal with some themes of the philosophy of mind from the radical behaviorist perspective, but always bearing in mind that this work will not exhaust all the problems and questions that form this subdivision of philosophy. The aim of this book is to contextualize radical behaviorism in the philosophy of mind through three activities. The first is to present a possible answer to the question "What is the mind?" . The second, in turn, demands the treatment of another question, namely, "What is the nature of the mind?" The first question underlies the problem of defining which things or phenomena are considered mental. It is, therefore, the search for a conceptual definition of the mind. The second question, on the other hand, addresses the ontology of the mental, that is, the characteristics essential to its existence. In turn, the third activity does not have a specific issue, but it is nevertheless important: it consists in the analysis of some theses, problems and questions presented by the theories of the mind through the radical behaviorist point of view. These activities are expected to represent at least one step towards the construction of a radical behaviorist theory of mind.
