Book Description
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2005 im Fachbereich Psychologie - Sonstiges, Note: 1,7, Universität Augsburg (Betriebswirtschaftslehre), Veranstaltung: Umweltpsychologie, 29 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Welches Ergebnis soll am Ende der Arbeit stehen? Eine triviale Antwort wird es hierfür wohl nicht geben, jedoch aber valides Datenmaterial. Wie sozial erwünscht haben die Probanden geantwortet und zwischen welchen Faktoren ergeben sich Zusammenhänge? Wo gibt es Widersprüche, an die die Wissenschaft anknüpfen kann? Diese Teilfragen zu beantworten und näher zu erläutern soll Ziel dieser Arbeit sein. Weitere Teilziele dieser Arbeit sind die Klärung einiger Unterfragen, die sich auf dem Weg zur Forschungsfrage als wichtig herauskristallisiert haben. Welchen Einfluss hat das Umweltbewusstsein auf die Wahl des Verkehrsmittels? Damit ist gemeint, ob sich die Befragten bei der Wahl des Verkehrsmittels Gedanken über dessen Einfluss auf die Umwelt machen. Welche Faktoren beeinflussen die Wahl des Verkehrmittels? Wie ist die Wahrnehmung der Alternativen zum Auto, damit ist gemeint welches Image haben das Fahrrad, die öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel und die deutsche Bahn? Wie verhält es sich mit der Akzeptanz eines "Tempolimits 120" auf deutschen Autobahnen oder einer "Stadtmaut" wie es sie bereits in einigen Weltstädten gibt? Sind sich die Menschen wirklich bewusst darüber, wie schädlich Autofahren ist? Sind die Menschen informiert darüber wie es um die Umwelt steht und wie viel Geld sind die Befragten auch in Zukunft bereit zu zahlen, um weiterhin Autofahren zu können? Wir haben uns in der Arbeit zum Ziel gesetzt am Ende der Arbeit eine Verbindung von Theorie und Praxis herstellen zu können.

Choice and Consequence
Author: Thomas C. Schelling
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674255976
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
Thomas Schelling is a political economist “conspicuous for wandering”—an errant economist. In Choice and Consequence, he ventures into the area where rationality is ambiguous in order to look at the tricks people use to try to quit smoking or lose weight. He explores topics as awesome as nuclear terrorism, as sordid as blackmail, as ineffable as daydreaming, as intimidating as euthanasia. He examines ethical issues wrapped up in economics, unwrapping the economics to disclose ethical issues that are misplaced or misidentified. With an ingenious, often startling approach, Schelling brings new perspectives to problems ranging from drug abuse, abortion, and the value people put on their lives to organized crime, airplane hijacking, and automobile safety. One chapter is a clear and elegant exposition of game theory as a framework for analyzing social problems. Another plays with the hypothesis that our minds are not only our problem-solving equipment but also the organ in which much of our consumption takes place. What binds together the different subjects is the author’s belief in the possibility of simultaneously being humane and analytical, of dealing with both the momentous and the familiar. Choice and Consequence was written for the curious, the puzzled, the worried, and all those who appreciate intellectual adventure.

Rationality in the Social Sciences
Author: Helmut Staubmann
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 331962377X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 285
Book Description
This volume presents for the first time a collection of historically important papers written on the concept of rationality in the social sciences. In 1939-40, the famed Austrian economist Joseph A. Schumpeter and the famous sociologist Talcott Parsons convened a faculty seminar at Harvard University on the topic of rationality. The first part includes their essays as well as papers by the Austrian phenomenologist Alfred Schütz, the sociologist Wilbert Moore, and the economist Rainer Schickele. Several younger economists and sociologists with bright futures also participated, including Alex Gerschenkron, John Dunlop, Paul M. Sweezy, and Wassily W. Leontief, who was later awarded the Nobel Prize for developing input-output analysis. The second part presents essays and commentaries written by today’s internationally noted social scientists and addressing the topic of rationality in social action from a broad range of perspectives. The book’s third and final part shares the recently discovered correspondence between the seminar principals regarding the original but failed plan to publish its proceedings. It also includes letters, not previously published, between Richard Grathoff, Walter M. Sprondel and Talcott Parsons on the rationality seminar and the exchanges between Parsons and Schütz.

Charting Transnational Fields
Author: Christian Schmidt-Wellenburg
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000040674
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 279
Book Description
The volume provides a field-analytical methodology for researching knowledge-based sociopolitical processes of transnationalization. Drawing on seminal work by Pierre Bourdieu, we apply concepts of practice, habitus, and field to phenomena such as cross-national social trajectories, international procedures of evaluation, standardization, and certification, or supranational political structures. These transnational phenomena form part of general political struggles that legitimate social relationships in and beyond the nation-state. Part 1 on methodological foundations discusses the consequences of Bourdieu’s epistemology and methodology for theorizing and investigating transnational phenomena. The contributions show the importance of field-theoretical concepts for post-national insights. Part 2 on investigating political fields presents exemplary case studies in diverse research areas such as colonial imperialism, international academic rankings, European policy fields, and local school policy. While focusing on their research objects, the contributions also give an insight into the mechanisms involved in processes of transnationalization. The volume is an invitation for sociologists, political scientists, and scholars in adjacent research areas to engage with reflexive and relational research practice and to further develop field-theoretical thought.

Values of American Society
Author: Talcott Parsons
Publisher: LIT Verlag Münster
ISBN: 3643907788
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 317
Book Description
The material in Values of American Society remains the principal resource for understanding Parsons' conception of value systems. His treatment of value systems has been much debated, although poorly understood, in considerable part because Parsons never published his full conception, developed only in these manuscripts. They continue to hold interest for social scientists, both for their carefully developed analytical scheme and for the resulting discussion of American culture and society.
