It brings together current, substantive studies of both a theoretical and an empirical nature. in addition to contributing to an understanding of human behaviour in diverse samples, the selected papers have another significant feature in common: all are highly provocative and stimulating that raise as many questions as they answer. The editors have selected 30 articles and classified it into four parts. These articles focus the major developments in the fields of applied psychology. This book will be an invaluable resource for all students of psychology and, in particular, Ph.D. students.
