Abstract. Recognizing the fluidity around definitions and boundaries of Islamic psychology (IP), I propose that assumption decolonial thought may help IP reimagine its vision, orientation, directions. Distinguished by three fundamentals – epistemic freedom, liberation, humanization paradigmatic harvest psycho-spiritual, cognitive, affective resources as well methodological, ethical, metaphysica...

A collection like this is bound to be mixed in quality and range; the best, most testing essays here scrutinize particular case histories to expose the complexities of intersections between science and gender. Ornella Moscucci's study of hermaphroditism "as an attempt to reconcile the concept of sexual difference with the idea of human nature" (p. 178), or Roger Cooter's fascinating essay on th...

In an earlier issue of this journal, Craft (2001) explored Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP) in relation to a classification of learning theories. Craft also offered various observations on, and criticisms of, aspects of NLP such as its theoretical coherence, modelling, Dilts’s ‘logical levels’ and possible dissonance of NLP's espousal of individuality in learning with its experiential emphasi...

We conducted 4 experiments to examine how people incorporate visual information about strangers’ religious identities—religious badges—into their decisions about how much to trust them. Experiment 1 revealed that Christian and non-Christian participants were more trusting (as measured by self-report) of targets who wore a religious badge associated with Christianity (Ash Wednesday ashes) than t...

Given a society Γ = (M, W, K), where M , W are disjoint sets and K ⊆M×W , and a matroid T on M , a T-espousal of Γ is an injective partial function E : M → W such that E ⊆ K and domE is spanning in T. The problem of characterizing Tespousable societies is a generalization of characterizing systems of matroids with disjoint bases. Wojciechowski [15] formulated a criterion for a society Γ = (M, W...

The origin of values and preferences is an unresolved theoretical question in behavioral and social sciences. The Savanna-IQ Interaction Hypothesis, derived from the Savanna Principle and a theory of the evolution of general intelligence, suggests that more intelligent individuals may be more likely to acquire and espouse evolutionarily novel values and preferences (such as liberalism and athei...

recognized as the realistic value and hub center of learning, libraries since their primitive stage of establishment have been imparting services in teaching, learning and research. induction of ict in library precipitated to a change in knowledge acquisition, organization, dissemination, representation and preservation. further, the espousal of technology precipitated many new form of learning...

We measure how a network of heroes can legitimize and diffuse extreme political behaviors. exploit newly declassified intelligence files, novel voting data, regimental histories to show that home municipalities French line regiments arbitrarily rotated under Philippe Pétain’s generalship through the heroic World War I battlefield Verdun diverge politically thereafter, particularly following own...

Research has shown that several criteria underlie people's opinions about the welfare deservingness of benefit recipients. However, it remains unknown which factors are associated with the emphasis that people place on such criteria. Using a 2006 Dutch national survey on the welfare deservingness of disability pension recipients, we study the influence of structural and cultural factors on peop...
