Abstract

Gathering leading thinkers in social and clinical psychology, public health, medicine, and sociology, Interpersonal Relationships and Health considers theoretical and empirical issues relevant to understanding the social and clinical psychological mechanisms linking close relationship processes with mental and physical health outcomes. The volume arises out of a recent explosion of interest, across multiple academic and research fields, in the ways that interpersonal relationships affect health and well-being. This volume pulls together a range of scholars who focus on different aspects of relationships and health in order to encourage both collaboration and cross-disciplinary initiatives. This is the first edited volume to pull together noted experts across myriad disciplines whose research is at the intersection of human relationships and health. Topics addressed include key biological processes that influence and, in turn, are influenced by close relationships. Interpersonal Relationships and Health presents research that demonstrates the connections between interpersonal relationships, mental and physical health outcomes, and biophysical markers that figure prominently in the fields of psychoneuroimmunology, endocrinology, and cardiology. In addition, it highlights recent work on marital, family, and social relationships and their interplay with health and well-being. Chapters also address sexual health among young and older adults, as well as clinical intervention efforts that focus on the role of relational factors in influencing health. Each chapter highlights extant theoretical and empirical findings and suggests future avenues for research in this burgeoning area.

Abstract

Today's business environment demands a new approach to leadership, one that effectively connects individuals and organizations in the midst of change. Leading with Sense offers a new, practical approach to meeting this challenge. Drawing on her experience as a poetic translator and her expertise in cross-cultural leadership, Valérie Gauthier outlines the tenets of savoir-relier: a framework for building sensible, trustworthy, and lasting relationships that enables leaders to value difference, work across boundaries, and navigate complex systems. Savoir-relier teaches leaders to tap into their senses in the midst of strategizing, allowing them to act intuitively and rationally at once. Few leaders dare to claim that their "gut feelings" are critical to their decisions. But, by engaging their intuition, they are able to draw on experience, better appreciate their environment, build confidence, and summon the courage to tackle the task at hand. Leading with Sense trains readers to be poets and translators in the business context. With savoir-relier, we can write our own stories, deciphering the challenges that we face with acumen, humility, and respect. Using real-world examples of this pioneering approach, Gauthier provides readers with methods and tools for cultivating a savoir-relier mindset to build positive relationships, nurture diversity, drive mindful innovation, and foster success.

Abstract

One of the key scientific challenges is the puzzle of human cooperation. Why do people cooperate? Why do people help strangers, even sometimes at a major cost to themselves? Why do people want to punish people who violate norms and undermine collective interests? This book is inspired by the fact that social dilemmas, defined in terms of conflicts between (often short-term) self-interest and (often longer-term) collective interest, are omnipresent. The book centers on two major themes. The first theme centers on the theoretical understanding of human cooperation: are people indeed other-regard

Abstract

Gewalt, insbesondere nicht-hoheitlich verübte Gewalt, gilt häufig als regellos und irrational. Die neuere Gewaltforschung hat allerdings wiederholt auf Logiken und Regeln hingewiesen, welche der Gewalt als einer Form der nonverbalen Kommunikation inhärent sind. Dies gilt in erhöhtem Maße für kollektiv verübte Gewalt, die nicht zuletzt aufgrund ihrer Regelhaftigkeit (Gewalt-)Gemeinschaften zu konstituieren und zu sichern vermag, die sich ihrerseits gegen externe Regeln und Normen stellen. Die in diesem Band versammelten Beiträge von Mitgliedern der Gießener DFG Forschergruppe "Gewaltgemeinschaften" und von Kooperationspartnern aus dem In- und Ausland analysieren an markanten Beispielen aus der Kultur-, Sozial- und Literaturgeschichte von der Spätantike bis zum konfessionellen Zeitalters das sich in unterschiedlichen Kontexten immer wieder neu formierende Verhältnis zwischen Regeln und Gewalt. Betrachtet werden Regeln, denen Gewalthandlungen bewusst oder unbewusst folgen, Regeln, die z.T. gegen die Gewalt gerichtet sind, aber Gewalthandlungen provozieren, sowie Regeln der Darstellung oder fiktional-performativen Evokation von Gewalt. Der Band deckt so die Systemstelle auf, welche der Gewalt im jeweiligen Kontext zukommt.
