El centro de cualquier proceso de evaluación psicológica es la persona, no el instrumento». «El evaluador debe ser mejor que los instrumentos que utiliza».Estas son las frases que proponen los autores de esta obra a sus alumnos en las primeras clases del curso de Evaluación Psicológica. Su objetivo es incitar a los estudiantes a reflexionar y debatir sobre los alcances y los límites de la administración y valoración de los resultados de las pruebas, en el marco del proceso de evaluación psicológica, para salir al paso de las ideas preconcebidas, que frecuentemente equiparan evaluación a administración de instrumentos, y minimizan el papel del evaluador y de la situación de evaluación. En este libro se presentan y analizan las competencias (conocimientos, habilidades y actitudes) que ha de tener un psicólogo que administre pruebas que requieran la interacción continua entre evaluador y evaluado, como es el caso de las escalas de inteligencia de Wechsler.Las escalas de Wechsler son los instrumentos más utilizados para evaluar las capacidades cognitivas. En esta obra se presenta información y sugerencias prácticas y útiles para los evaluadores que administren estas escalas y valoren los resultados obtenidos con su aplicación. Recoge numerosos cuadros, tablas y gráficos que resumen la información más relevante y los aspectos esenciales de la administración, corrección, valoración e interpretación de las puntuaciones obtenidas con la administración de la WISC-IV, WISC-V y WAIS-IV.Finalmente, se incluyen ejemplos de cómo los resultados de la exploración de la capacidad cognitiva se recogen en el contexto del informe psicológico y cómo se pueden relacionar los puntos fuertes y débiles del sujeto evaluado con las propuestas de intervención.

Este texto no solo facilitará a los clínicos el análisis de las puntuaciones obtenidas con la aplicación de las escalas WISC-IV, WAIS-IV y WISC-V, sino que además al enseñarles a complementarlas con las observaciones reunidas durante el proceso de aplicación, les ayudará a dar sentido clínico, idiográfico, a tales puntuaciones, de tal manera que puedan hacer un retrato individual del evaluado.

Emotional Intelligence Does IQ define our destiny? Daniel Goleman argues that our view of human intelligence is far too narrow, and that our emotions play a major role in thought, decision making and individual success. Self-awareness, impulse control, persistence, motivation, empathy and social deftness are all qualities that mark people who excel: whose relationships flourish, who are stars in the workplace. With new insights into the brain architecture underlying emotion and rationality, Goleman shows precisely how emotional intelligence can be nurtured and strengthened in all of us. Working with Emotional Intelligence Do you want to be more successful at work? Do you want to improve your chances of promotion? Do you want to get on better with your colleagues? Daniel Goleman draws on unparalleled access to business leaders around the world and the thorough research that is his trademark. He demonstrates that emotional intelligence at work matters twice as much as cognitive abilities such as IQ or technical expertise in this inspiring sequel.

Once the province of a small group of theorists and researchers operating on the periphery of psychological science, gender research has charged into the psychological mainstream during the last two decades. In large measure, Janet T. Spence has been responsible for this transformation, challenging the traditional ideas of fundamental difference between men and women. The simple idea of difference, once used to rationalize prejudices and discrimination, has now been replaced by a complex, sophisticated awareness of how gender is constructed and maintained. This book explores new empirical work and theoretical models about the causes and consequences of constructing gender.

UCLA School of Medicine, Los Angeles Aimed at helping readers improve the accuracy of their survey, Litwin′s book guides in assessing and interpreting the quality of their survey data by thoroughly examining the survey instrument used. The book also explains how to code and pilot test new and established surveys. In addition, it covers such issues as how to measure reliability (e.g., test-retest, alternate-form, internal consistency, inter-observer, and intra-observer reliability), how to measure validity (including content, criterion, and construct validity), how to address cross-cultural issues in survey research, and how to scale and score a survey. "I found this work to be of very high quality with respect to both content and writing. It is commendable in terms of communicating and facilitating understanding of sometimes difficult concepts. It will make an excellent text for my introductory course on survey research and, I imagine, for many similar or related courses in the social sciences or education. All the pedagogical features, including the exercises, are excellent, and the level of writing throughout not only is appropriate for an introductory volume, but also engaging and lively." --Daniel U.

The importance of language is increasingly acknowledged within social psychology. In this seminal book, a group of distinguished authors goes beyond general theory to address, from a research base, key issues in the interrelationship between language, interaction and social cognition. Their starting point is that the ways in which we perceive and, therefore, interact with others are structured by the language available to us, as a socially constructed system above and beyond individual minds. The relationship between language and social cognition is not, however, a fixed or unicausal one: linguistic terms are also generated in response to social and cultural development. The interplay is dialectical - a dialectic of the social. The authors explore this dialectic through such themes as: the use and power of category labels; trait-behaviour relations in social information processing; and interpersonal verbs and attribution. They examine the significance of language use in the persistence of stereotypes, and the links between syntactical reasoning processes and social cognition, as well as the impact of perspectivity. They consider the ways in which communication roles and context shape, and are shaped by, language. Language, Interaction and Social Cognition will be essential reading for all those in social psychology, psycholinguistics, linguistics and communication studies concerned with the role of language in interaction and social cognition.

The papers in this book question the tyranny of typological thinking in archaeology through case studies from various South American countries (Venezuela, Colombia, Bolivia, Argentina, and Brazil) and Antarctica. They aim to show that typologies are unavoidable (they are, after all, the way to create networks that give meanings to symbols) but that their tyranny can be overcome if they are used from a critical, heuristic and non-prescriptive stance: critical because the complacent attitude towards their tyranny is replaced by a militant stance against it; heuristic because they are used as means to reach alternative and suggestive interpretations but not as ultimate and definite destinies; and non-prescriptive because instead of using them as threads to follow they are rather used as constitutive parts of more complex and connective fabrics. The papers included in the book are diverse in temporal and locational terms. They cover from so called Formative societies in lowland Venezuela to Inca-related ones in Bolivia; from the coastal shell middens of Brazil to the megalithic sculptors of SW Colombia. Yet, the papers are related. They have in common their shared rejection of established, naturalized typologies that constrain the way archaeologists see, forcing their interpretations into well known and predictable conclusions. Their imaginative interpretative proposals flee from the secure comfort of venerable typologies, many suspicious because of their association with colonial political narratives. Instead, the authors propose novel ways of dealing with archaeological data.
