This book explores what attitudes are and how they are shaped, how they influence behaviour, and the scientific methods that are used to understand attitudes and how they change. Introducing the fundamental concepts for understanding attitudes, with a balanced consideration of all approaches, the book pulls together many diverse threads from research across the world.The fourth edition has been updated to include cutting-edge topics such as attitudes to vaccines, political polarisation, and the effects of social media on attitude change. It covers the applications of attitude research in the domains of environmental, political and health psychology and critically reflects on the methods used for attitude research and considers the role of new technologies and social media in attitudes and attitude research.Key features:

What to expect from the new edition:

·       Full discussion on the impacts from Covid-19 on health strategy

·       Increased emphasis on upstream interventions rather than patient-centred, individualised (downstream) approaches

·       Increased internationalisation – more comparative examples and international perspectives prioritising northern Europe, Scandinavia and the US

Health promotion is being taught to an increasingly diverse range of students, either because of background, future career plans or the increasing international student numbers. This book provides international examples, applicable to a range of health professions, to meet the needs of diverse cohorts. The international case studies provided online also mean that international students in the UK have access to cases that can be more relevant to their own countries.

It can be a challenge understanding the 'softer side' of health science, particularly understanding how to think outside an individual responsibility for Health promotion/public health. The focus of this book is setting out the process of planning, implementing and evaluating successful health programmes meaning that you are introduced to the 'softer side' in an applied way - making it easier for you to see the importance of what you are studying.

**Winner of the 2022 British Psychological Society Book Award - Textbook Category**Developed and adapted by the authors of this book, thematic analysis (TA) is one of the most popular qualitative data analytic techniques in psychology and the social and health sciences.Building on the success of Braun & Clarke's 2006 paper first outlining their approach - which has over 100,000 citations on Google Scholar - this book is the definitive guide to TA, covering:- Contextualisation of TA- Developing themes- Writing TA reports- Reflexive TAIt addresses the common questions surrounding TA as well as developments in the field, offering a highly accessible and practical discussion of doing TA situated within a clear understanding of the wider terrain of qualitative research.Virginia Braun is a Professor in the School of Psychology at The University of Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand.Victoria Clarke is an Associate Professor in Qualitative and Critical Psychology in the Department of Social Sciences at the University of the West of England (UWE), Bristol.

Taking you on a voyage of discovery through R and RStudio, this completely updated second edition combines real-world examples and humour with a hands-on 'how to' approach that brings statistics and programming to life. 

In his characteristic irreverent and engaging style, Andy Field takes a fun and flexible yet rigorous approach to doing statistics in a book that:

A favourite with both students and lecturers, How to Do Media and Cultural Studies provides readers with all the knowledge and practical expertise they need to carry out their project or dissertation. Giving them hands-on guidance on managing the whole process, Jane Stokes: 

Expanded and updated throughout, this 3rd edition now includes:

How to Do Media and Cultural Studies has inspired thousands of students and researchers to understand why studying media texts, industries and audiences is so important. It is an ideal companion for anyone conducting a research project.

Central to the book is the belief that many of our problems arise out of the essential paradoxes of human existence, rather than from personal pathology. From this perspective, the purpose of counselling and therapy is not viewed as problem-solving, but as a mean of enabling people to come to terms with living life as it is, with all its inherent contradictions.

Emmy van Deurzen, a leading existential philosopher and therapist, presents a practical method of working, using systematic observation, clarification and reflection to help clients rediscover their inner strengths. She shows how personal assumptions, values and talents, once acknowledged, can be turned to constructive use. Using wide-ranging case examples, the author also demonstrates the effectiveness of the existential appoach in many different situations - from crisis work to dealing with chronic unhappiness.

The existential approach is a well-respected form of psychotherapy, but most writing on the subject tends to be heavily theoretical. This book offers a practical and accessible alternative, which will be invaluable to those in training as well as to more experienced practitioners.

Taking first the profound transformations underway in the global political economy, this pathbreaking new text redefines how we understand trade, finance, money and labour. In this new problem-based approach, the core concerns of the global economy are joined by key topics, spanning energy to development, inequalities to illicit economies, reflecting the fluid and dynamic nature of contemporary GPE scholarship.

The book addresses four major transformations shaping the global political economy today: the questioning of the liberal international order, the rise of the Anthropocene, the technological advancements of the fourth industrial revolution, and the increasing significance of identity politics. These transformations are explored through a comprehensive framework that integrates diverse theoretical and methodological approaches, ensuring a nuanced understanding of real-world problems. Each chapter tackles key problems and global issues, from global energy dependency and rising inequality to the commodification of personal data and platform economies.

The book also emphasises the need for a truly global perspective, integrating lenses, concepts, voices, and ideas from scholarship all round the world. This inclusive approach broadens understanding and reflects the complexity and diversity of the global landscape. By adopting the stance of “hybrid GPE scholars,” the authors bridge the gap between different geographical and intellectual traditions, offering a rich and varied examination of contemporary GPE.

Global Political Economy is an essential resource, providing a fresh and relevant perspective on the field. It fosters critical discussions and debates, encouraging readers to rethink entrenched beliefs and engage with the ever-evolving landscape of global political economy.
